Hi all, -m [reserved-blocks-percentage] "Specify the percentage of the filesystem blocks reserved for the super-user. This avoids fragmentation, and allows root-owned daemons, such as syslogd(8), to continue to function correctly after non-privileged processes are prevented from writing to the filesystem. The default percentage is 5%."
Now it seems this reserved space is unavailable to users and now that Hard Drives are massive, this 5% is alot of space.
Would the option -m1 or even -m0 be a better sane default?
Interesting question indeed. For my root partition (which is usually about 10GB), 5% seem like a good value. For my home and other data partitions, I set it to 0% after installation. I don't think we have to change the defaults here provided the users actually know that there is reserved space by default.
