Oops, spoke too soon. `df` shows that the space isn't actually getting reserved... and you can tmp_fp.truncate() files till past the available space on the drive. Apparently there are some POSIX file system semantics I don't understand.
So check_call() is back, although these two methods did get some needed cleanup in the process.
