No databases will go offline. It wil generate error level 17 messages stating "object xx can't be created in filegroup yy for database TempDB" and the transaction(s) will be cancelled and rolled back.

Unless it happens during a restart. If tempdb does not have enough space to growth, SQL won't start.

I absolutely love that quote.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

If TempDB cannot be recreated, SQL will not start. That would required that someone shuts down SQL, deletes the tempDB files and then does something to fill the disk before restarting SQL. Otherwise the TempDB files will already exist at the time of startup (and they're not grown during the startup process, they're set back to their initial size)
