Unix disk capacity at 100%

Is there any danger to keeping one of my disks at 100% capacity? (it's a disk just used for read-only files, not system files or anything like that).

It's HP-UX if that matters.

Thanks!

Personally I would not run a slice at 100%. I like them below 80% if I can (depending on slice size).
I've seen systems get unstable when 100% slices are found.
