    dear AIX gurus,
    would like to seek your advice. can the root filesystem 100% has any impact to server or application? last week we hit fileystem 100%, but the server is still running but the users are not able to connect to application? but not sure is because of the filesystem is 100% or other factor?
    have u experience this before?

    basically, you won't be able to create new files either special device files, like the ones in /dev, so you won't be able to add new devices, vgs, lvs, etc...., you won't be able to add users or even modify user's attributes, you might have problems changing user's passwords too.

    best regards,
    esv.
