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

[velociraptor]

I'm dealing with the annual IG audit here...

We have been dinged on / containing /var.

Given that / is 10GB it seems kind of specious (and
no mail, web logs elsewhere, &c), but I need some
"expert" spin to augment my argument.

Anyone have any references to Solaris's resiliency to
crashing due to a full root partitions?  Googling is not
being all that helpful. Even Sun marketing foo would
be a start.

TIA--
