[geeks] Solaris resiliency to crashing w/full root partition?

[Michael Horton]

solaris 8, 9 ,10 will not crash with a full root partition!

sun recommends one large root partition and a swap partition!

your sun support provider can provide this information.

solaris 8, 9, 10 reserve enough space so that root can log into a sun
box and delete files.

this appies to the root partition and may not apply to other partitions
(such as mounted oracle/san partitions).

the freespace variable is also tunable and can be increased to suit your
  site's specific needs.
