The most common solution is probably a cron(8)-job that runs every 5 minutes (or 10, or whatever) or so, does a du(1) or df(1) and sends mail when appropriate.
Most admins also use some sort of monitoring framework, such as nagios or even Munin. There are fancier ones out there that use SNMP but I am not fond/experienced in those enough to recommend them.
