Hi all I know hard drives tend to not run well when near full. They have trouble performing self adjustments (hardware), self defragging(unix/FFS) etc.. (as I can express it) However, I need to find some documentation or some help in explaining this better. I am working with some people who store loads of files, on many drives and tend to fill the drives to 95% and more and then can't understand why they become unstable. I need to be able to explain it better and I would also like to know more to be able to factually/sanely set a percent full safe limit. Any help would be appreciatted Thanks! NMH.
