Generally I think the default is to leave around 5% "reserved". Feel free to drop that if you want the space for "non-root" users on your device. -- James Bromberger | www.james.rcpt.to | james_AT_rcpt.to UK Cell: +44 7952042920 | Perth/Au phone in London/UK: +61 8 6424 8325 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
