Result - Failed writes, reduced AAE availability, system errors, probably other (OS level) processes terminating.
100% disk usage is never good. However, our storage systems are write-append, which will mitigate against data corruption. If the node becomes completely unavailable, the other nodes will also attempt to rebalance the data, with less nodes this means each node will be responsible for more storage, which could potentially cause a cascading failure. Moral of the story - monitor, and start sending SMS messages when disk use goes above 80%, a standard devops chore, and applicable to any business critical computer system.
