I’ve got a 500GB drive attached to my Debian NSLU2, and noticed there
was 25GB of space missing
A bit of research found it was reserved space – 5% (of 500 = 25)
And was able to change this using “tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sdb1”
Someone suggested using XFS/ReiserFS over ext3.. Some more research
found Martin saying don’t use XFS on ARM
(http://www.nabble.com/Problem-with-XFS-on-NSLU2--td14171563.html).
Someone else in the same thread suggested JFS would be ok..
Is there going to much gained from changing to JFS/ReiserFS....?
I recently played with both XFS and JFS on LVM, and had both filesystems
die on me (Debian stable, kernel2.6.18). ext3 is pretty reliable. There
is much to be lost; all your data.
Caveat emptor.
