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!
