Hello list, I have a doubt. When creating an ext3 fs, 5% of its space is reserved to the superuser. I understand this should be important for /, maybe /var and /tmp. But is it compulsory for other fs, like, say, an external disk with data? Or it's just a heritage, no more needed? Could one safely reclaim this 5%? I understand that no other fs (jfs, xfs, reiser) reserves some space. Thanks for clarification _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
