As anyone at NetApps disclosed a reason for this to happen? (the crash I mean)
Thus spake Mike Sphar, on Tue, Feb 05, 2002 at 01:08:55PM -0800:
I just want to say for the record that we've had vol0 on our filers be 100% full several times and our filers have never crashed because of it, at least not any time I can recall.
Not that vol0 being full is a good thing, of course, but it's always been recoverable in my experience without a crash.

An argument for isolating root volume is that we are still warned in the netapp admin classes that if the root volume gets full, the filer will crash. We can build qtress to limit client to just under 100% or we can reserve 1% snap and turn off snaps. But will either of those really work? Will the filer potentially crash on a full volume even if it is not root volume?
