If I decided to fill up any file system on my work machines, I'd be
fired the second time I tried it.
If I filled up either partition on my home machine, it would very
likely break something.
I suspect that there are very few environments where it is reasonable
to fill up file systems just because you want to test out "file
system full" checking.
