In Yast Partitioner, when formatting a partition as ext3, there is an option described as 'Percentage of blocks reserved for root'. The default value is 'auto' = 5%
What does this mean? Is 5% of the partition not available to an ordinary user?

That is correct. The 5% is reserved for logs that get too big or root, more correctly so root can log in and create his login temp files while working to free up space. This number can be changed but never change it to 0.
Quite so. I have on occasion noticed that root could log in, while mere mortals couldn't. It was usually caused by the partition holding /tmp getting full. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
