Most of the time, you're gonna wind up with wasted space. But, it helps to have a cushion like this in case something goes wrong. 120MB is very small by today's standards, and I don't see any harm in making / this size. As far as sync'ing more often when the space shrinks, maybe there should be some functions in the softupdates fs code that performs syncing whose frequency is inversely proportional to the space left on the partition when the free space falls below a given threshold.
