All of my / filesystems segregated from the others so it shouldn't be an issue for hfs.
And yes, all of my 11.x and 11.i boxes have minfree at 0. I have inherited these systems, but I think it is by design. There are Oracle 10-15 filesystems on 14 different boxes that are anywhere from 20GB to 70GB each. That would be an incredible amount of space to give up.
If I get close to 85-90% we usually order more disks. That's just my environment...
Actually, I just went back to the
www.itrc.hp.com site and read this.

The default value for minfree on HP-UX file systems is 10 percent. To determine the current value of minfree, use the df command with the -t option (see HP-UX Reference entry df(1M)). The value is determined by the current value of fs_minfree in the file-system data structure (see fs(4)).
For example, to find the current value of minfree on the mounted file system /users, use the command:
# df -t /home
/home (/dev/vg00/home ): 560488 blocks 74718 i-nodes
614400 total blocks 75356 total i-nodes
16634 used blocks 638 used i-nodes
6 percent minfree
