    I might be barking up the wrong tree but you have another layer of protection in partitioning your file system. Its certainly not the only line of defence that you should employ but it would certainly keep the server running.

    Subject: Limiting application's database size



            I have a database server that contains several applications. One of the
            applications allow users to enter information into the database without
            being authenticated. My concern is that a malicious script could quickly
            increase the size of the database and thus taking all free disk space on the
            server. Is there a way to limit the size of the database so that it will
            not affect the other applications? Or does anybody have any suggestions on
            a way to handle this situation.
            
            DB Server: MS SQL Server, IIS
