I run my busy mailservers with 0.5-2% free space (that's still a couple of gigabytes) and have no problems. It's true that I haven't touched the kernel & reiserfs there (2.4.21), so it does not have any additions to the reiserfs v3 code since then. It just works, so I don't have any desire to fix it :) -- Jure Pečar http://jure.pecar.org
