The client side can know which python exception was raised in the
server side and do whatever it can to best handle it. In all cases I
know, that's just informing the user that some error happened while
trying to save the work.

What the shell does is monitor from time to time the amount of disk
space free and notify the user of this condition when it gets below
some threshold.
