Yes, I see.  I upgraded back to 2.8.2 and after adjusting the 
disk_free_limit it does indeed work.  Thank you all.

Is there any way to detect in the publisher whether or not messages 
are actually being queued?  With pika 0.9.5, as I mentioned, there was 
no indication of failure on either client.

Is there a way to move the location on disk somewhere other than /var?

Would it be possible to configure RabbitMQ to discard *oldest* 
messages as opposed to *newest* messages in situations where there 
isn't enough memory?  I believe that qpid for example uses some kind 
of circular buffer for message transport, so that would happen by 
default.

Is there any way I could receive an alert, say by e-mail, or at least 
on some message queue, when flow-control events occur?  All I see 
regarding 'monitoring' in the documentation are interactive tools.
I would want to be alerted if:

 * Memory usage exceeds a certain level
 * Messages are paged to disk
 * Disk usage exceeds a certain level

appreciatively,
