The disk reads full when it is 95% full. Root can work with that disk.
Any application that runs as root will still run and be bale to write
to the disk. Some of the images will have to deleted or moved
somewhere else.

I am prejudiced. Autpartitioning is for people who do not know what
they are doing.  People who run 20 servers should know what they are
doing and decide on the partitioning themselves to fit their
environment.
