Hi, once 10.2 was released I installed it on my laptop using ext3 instead of reiserfs to avoid support issues. Now comes the issue, my home filesystem has 56GB of which i used 53GB, BUT the free space states 41MB. So, where are the other 3GB?. [...]
Ext3 reserves 5% of the available disk space for root. Thereby, it is ensured that root can log in even if a user "filled" the whole disk. However, this does not make sense on your seperate home partition since root does not use it as its home: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ext3_Filesystem_Tips#Reclaim_Reserved_Fi... Nonetheless, fillung up a partition above ~85% is considered harmful to performance due to fragmentation!
