Hi All,

I read this line in the book "Building Applications on  Mesos - David
Greenberg":

" The slave will reserve 1 GB or 50% of detected memory, whichever
is smaller, in order to run itself and other operating system services.
Likewise, it will reserve 5 GB or 50% of detected disk, whichever is
smaller. "

I haven't been able to figure out what "operating system services" refers
to, and whether is is really necessary to block off the entire 5Gb of disk
 for that purpose. Could anyone shed some light on what the disk is used
for, in better detail?

Ideally, I'd like as much of the disk as possible for my framework.

Thanks in advance,
Arjun
