This reserved space is there so that a mere user cannot eat up all the space, leaving nothing for logs, temporary files, lockfiles, etc. Once there really is no space, the system might not be able even to shutdown properly. There is no point in reserving any space on your data-storage-only partition, however, and given that 1% out of a 50G partition is some 500M, creating a separate 500M system partition instead would make a sense, maybe. Separating the system is probably a good idea anyway, should a fs corruption occur. HTH. -- Jan Minar "Please don't CC me, I'm subscribed." x 9
