won't this allow the partition to become fragmented?
Yes. The 5 % default is designed to make sure there are enough large free extents on the filesystem to avoid excessive fragmentation. If you start to push that down you will start to notice performance degradation due to fragmentation, depending on the actual size of the disk and the files on it. On large partitions you may want to decrease the percentage and watch instead the free space directly.
But decreasing the reserved block allotment does have a price. --coop _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
