I'd be curious to know what number he feels is "ok".  90%?  And why?

Subject: High disk capacity dangers

Just wanted to run this by everyone here, I have a 9.2.0.6 database on 
HP-UX. Some of my read only tablespaces are on a physical disk that I
keep 
at about 99% capacity (it's not going to grow obviously, it's
read-only).
The new Unix SA is saying that it's unacceptable and dangerous to keep a

disk at 98,99, or 100% capacity. I always thought it could be even at
100% 
capacity without any problems.

Is there any reason that anyone knows of as to why a disk should not be
at 
99% or 100% capacity?

Thank you!
