Re: File system overhead



did you execute the df command as root? if not, it might report less free space. there is a reserved space (5% is default for ext2/3, iirc, however you can set it up differently) that is available only for root... and since you report 5% in your case...

You can set the percentage of reserved blocks like this...

 tune2fs -m number /dev/partition

...where "number" is number of reserved blocks of your total space in percents and "/dev/partition" is the device that contains EXT2/3 file system. In this case it would look like...

 tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sda9

tune2fs can be found in e2fsprogs package.
