Subject: reiser4: reserved disk space
Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2007 16:29:14 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <460A5F9A.6070902@gmail.com> (raw)
Reiser4 reserves roughly 5% of partition size for it's internal use.
This space can be tens of gigabytes for modern hard disks, and unlike
ext2 reserve cannot be used even by root in any way.
I changed reserved block count in super.c to be 1% instead of 5%,
formatted a test drive in reiser4 and stress tested it by copying many
small or few huge files to almost full disk. Everything was working fine.
It there a reason for this reserve to be so big?
