The only indication I've heard that it would make the FS unreliable is if you had less space reserved than you had RAM available to stack up writes which haven't been allocated. In your case, it's a bug that you haven't been able to set this on your own. Note that I said unreliable, not slow. Everyone keeps telling us that you'll get slow with <25% space available, so the 5% is really just a sanity check, but you're probably fine there, too. My question to the Namesys guys is, have you actually tested situations like this? If you want to artificially create that situation, you can probably just shrink the values down a bunch -- make an fs on a 1 gig drive on a virtual machine (qemu + accelerator) with only a couple megs of RAM available for cache/buffer, then try to fill it. How close can you get to 100% full before something blows up? I'd do it, but I've got problems with school and bad RAM. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQIVAwUBQl3y/3gHNmZLgCUhAQKoOQ/9GsES1Wvv6doTuM/f+GX5sEA4z92VkR2s 2LGgnGuuRSKyFoR5UWkPrZt7mpnNVHtD1w0sdXdf6H+p5K4R4bkO0qmodlGyrFIx OSWmFkyFNjbmftXQPYlWCsYNmHTySrbb60Yt03cQJ6wDy3lmVz2LPDAKXnwWxYpu mCY3js+DteaVSajzvZMxW4dIAGRcjJn8d/MS0tF5Tkj+621/8HvdQvCK8Xijqfqo Wdt4X3A7A9npewPFC95jWp/f6RRbS73+7pcWRCV6JCJ99yLW3fvXAn23HrExFSo6 9DcISawlDnS6Wg1QGOgDUN1zgbXccupL4DCbs4FbFh54Dq6GvxR2MosFatdNwjSw 3u3EKO711pc/TplYlCjylUN+ORrsOtHfL3Psz4Yez4LWB427YtMflmv7ONF2IUlU 2Gvssvi5Dtv0P0mLISAgxFlT0i8NR8QMxK8zBTJ9p9e0KYKDmdXEGAVcQXfWllUh 3ufVOr/9Yf+5g4SjxDot1TpAGhImaPbSnNRiWK8dGEiqUU1/Ies/7uPZNLgK0XZL 7D5+++Pu6eoYzu1EZyc8CxRtm3xbunXXaRkdqeNL1TGo36uAlcigHdpOE1BUk8gG wozu3vWeHDwhWocf2sK/pmixejdxqYIO9zTkbOremFn2R3cbOHcCK9UsG7cd2khd 08CrnNc/xng= =r8e3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
