Concerning the fill up of disk space, this is sysadmin 101: divide you system
into partitions, specially moving /var and /home into their own.

Regarding configuring the cache path, you can't do it via GUI, but via command
line it's 'smart config --set data-dir /your/path', even though that will move
the hole /var/lib/smart structure somewhere else, not only the cache. Another
way is to make a symbolic link from /var/lib/smart/cache to anywhere else you
may fit.

Regarding install packages successivelly, try 'smart install --stepped' or
'smart upgrade --stepped' (I know, that can't be done from the GUI).
