Really? What? The only things that spring to mind are that /etc/mtab
can't be kept up to date if there is absolutely no space free, and
/sbin/ldconfig will fail, so newly-installed shared libraries won't be
picked up. (I'm assuming here a / containing only those things which
*must* be on /: in particular I'm assuming /var is a separate
filesystem, as are /home and /tmp.)
