This is a tricky situation.

You only know disk is full when there is a write error during the file save and by that time, the original file was already deleted. How does it work with other editors (e.g. gedit, emacs etc.)?
Comment 4 Johannes Schmid 2006-10-27 14:07:19 UTC 
Other editors handle do this:

- Save file to filename~
- Check if this worked:
  If file was saved: move filename~ to filename
  Else Error
