    Description

      It appears the binlog and replication code still has write calls that aren't checked for successful completion. On disk full, the binlog gets truncated.

      As a direct consequence and example, a slave will report this error:
      Got fatal error 1236 from master when reading data from binary log: 'binlog truncated in the middle of event'

      Obviously it's not just a problem with replication, but also for having correct binlogs for point-in-time recovery.

      Suggested solution: writes should check for success, and in case of a disk-full error, report and retry correctly. The "wait until space has been freed up" approach that's used on other disk-full conditions, would be fine here also.
