True, but only if you don't get a rogue process that chews up ALL
of the disk space.  I'd prefer the process to come down, than
the entire system.  For the system set, I relax it a little
more to 90/10 though.

Actually,

I have always done 100,100 with nary a problem.  You can go to 100%
permanent and still leave
room for transient by just not using all the permanent.  I have configured
hundreds of systems this
way and never seen a problem.

You will *not* crash your system this way.
