Hi all
I know hard drives tend to not run well when near
full. They have trouble performing self adjustments
(hardware), self defragging(unix/FFS) etc.. (as I can
express it) However, I need to find some documentation
or some help in explaining this better. I am working with some people who store loads of
files, on many drives and tend to fill the drives to
95% and more and then can't understand why they become
unstable. I need to be able to explain it better and
I would also like to know more to be able to
factually/sanely set a percent full safe limit.


 Any help would be appreciatted

 Thanks!

 NMH.

i suggest tunefs as well. My server uses many drives, most filled to 95% and higher. I've never had a filesystem-oriented problem.


Cheers!
