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.
