Usually on a Unix system when the file system is created, there is a small percentage
of space reserved for the root. The disk will fill up and could still function because
of the space reserved for root. If not taken care of right away the full disk space
could become a full physical disk and then all bets are off as to the results.

OK, if the partition hits 100% then nothing can get written to the
disk. if it has something like /var/temp on it that's bad. but i've
had them hit 100% with datafiles on them and the database keep going
because of the way oracle writes out it's datafiles. not sure of the
details, but it looks to the OS like it's a full file even if it has
empty blocks in it.
if the disk doesn't have anything critical on it, the the box just gives
out errors and keeps going.
