Uh, ok. No offense, but if something is there as a knob to use, it shouldn't have a bug. ....now don't go off bitching at me yet. My point is this: # newfs -m 1 /dev/wd1h # mount /dev/wd1h /home/users # df -k /dev/wd1h 257268116 92122160 152282552 38% /home Five percent of /home would be a LOT of space that could be used for users. Naturally, good system adminstration would want to use that space and have the proper quotas/monitoring in place to alert when things get too close to being full. 5% of even 10GB, IMHO, is wasted space. But hey, that's my opinion and I will gladly stfu.
