As you fill up this filesystem, you're going to see decreased performance, as the reserved space isn't just "insurance" for root processes, it's also essential for managing fragmentation. This doesn't apply, as much, if you are just adding new files, without ever modifying or deleting the old ones, or if you are working with a static file set altogether. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
