It's not really a CCD question, but a newfs question. When you
newfs your disk partition, supply a different percentage free by using
newfs -m <free space %>
Luckily, you can also adjust this post-newfs'ing using the tunefs
command (`man tunefs`).
tunefs -m <free %> <filesystem>
But keep in mind, as the tunefs man page says:
Settings of 5% and less force space optimization to
always be used which will greatly increase the overhead for file
writes.
Happy tuning.
