The people who wrote the code set the limit at 95%...so if you are looking for a "Rule of Thumb"...that's it, provided by the People Who Know Best. Most of us have managed to fill a partition completely with no harm to the system (no promises on the file!). But performance isn't our concern at that point. File integrity isn't an issue until you try to write when there is no space. But really, if you are dancing over the 95% point and are happy about it, you have entered Special Case Land, rules of thumb don't apply and you are responsible for your own situation. Nick.
