What if I try to decompress a file on a full device?

You will get a `no space left on device' (ENOSPC) error, and the file will keep its compress flag.

(In previous releases, the behaviour was what I consider to be a bit nastier, in that the command would succeed and the compress flag would be cleared, but the file would still be stored in compressed form on disk.)
