Advice, please . . .
The default filesystem reserved blocks is 5%. IIRC that goes back a long time to when much smaller drives were in use. Is there a formula or rule-of-thumb now for today's large drives/partitions? I have quite a few 100-300GB partitions which I have tuned down to 3%, but it still seems I'm wasting a lot of space. Suggestions?
Run 'df' on the partition that/those filesystem(s) is/are on. Unless you're really sort of space then you're not wasting space, you've still got plenty to spare. Oh, and run 'fslint' clean out what you really are wasting space on like duplicates and hanging symlinks. -- Any man who afflicts the human race with ideas must be prepared to see them misunderstood. --Henry Louis Mencken -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
