On any system, if the disk is full or unwriteable, then a process that wants to write to disk may block or fail in another way. Many processes use temporary files, logging, etc.

If the HN disk is 100% full, this would affect processes on all VEs.

With over selling disk, the HN disk can be full even though none of the VEs are over their quota. Not going to make for happy customers. Overselling is a risk: up to you to decide if you're happy with it.
