This is so that if the filesystem fills up, there's still a little spac= e for root to come in and clean up the mess. You can change this percentage w= ith the -m option of tune2fs; do not do this while the filesystem is mounted an= d read the manpage very carefully. This is a potentially dangerous operation. --=20 Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=3Demai= l ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug.-- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" i= n the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
