That's very interesting. On a 750GB disc, the amount allocated to root is therefore 37.5GB, which seems a mighty big log file. Or does it function as a kind of local swapfile if the disc gets too full? Similar to Windows defragmenter needing 15% freespace.
it's not allocated to root, it's only the minimum amount of free space a disk allow a simple user to let. A normal user can't use the disk if free space is under this value.
anyway, nearly no system will work with so little room.
are you sure this is for *any* partition? should be only for root (/)
It is for / on another disk that has no system on it, so probably no need for even 1% reserved. That is set during file system creation and probably can be changed with tune2fs utility, if ext3 is used. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
