As I understand it, filesystem performance does degrade as the usage goes over 85-90%; although I've been running my own system at over 95% for a while now, with no *major* ill effects. I'm using ext3, and still have a few gigabytes of free space even at that usage level, however...
links, anyone? I know I've seen an article which contains some performance charts, for each type of filesystem at various states of "full". ciao, Ben On Mon, 10 Nov 2003 22:10:58 -0600 Timothy Bolz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: | Bob | That's nice. | Thanks. | | I should have asked this in my first post but you might know what is a | good percentage of disk space not to go over for optimal performance. | Is it below 90 or lower.
