Basically you don't need to reserve anything, but as you get closer to filling the disk the time to find a free space increases rapidly and your files get very fragmented. Trouble is: they never get defragmented unless you copy them (or do a full dump/restore). I'm not sure how to nail the "right" number of % down, and I'm sure that both Kirk and I would like to hear your numbers :-) -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
