If what I have read is correct, -m by default uses 5% of the disk
space for "reserved root use" On my server at home with a /home of
1TB thats about 50GB of wasted space.
Is this reserved space actually used by ANYTHING? Like LVM, some kind
of fragmentation?
It's used by root for vital functions such as logging in when some silly
user has gone and filled up non-reserved space.
Admittedly 50GB is a bit excessive, especially on a filesystem that root
wouldn't normally use.
