You can easily mess your system up by filling the file system, depending
on the use case scenario it might be a good idea to have media data on a
separate partition or drive. Many file systems offer a reservoir of
blocks for the root user to avoid a totally unusable system, but most
services will die.

On machines that have to run reliably (servers, recording, playback) I
usually have a dedicated system partition.

Again it depends on your use case. For big recordings I create new
filesystems for the media data everytime.
