FreeBSD is reserving a part (appx 10%) of the space on the disk for faster
disk-io. I presume that you will see that the spool-disk is more than full
eg 105% full when the "TIME to SPACE" message comes. This means that
FreeBSD is clamming the space normally used for fast disk-io to hold the
files on your disk. Performance-wise you do not want this message to be
shown *ever*.
