Re: [TCLUG:20818] release my hard drive space (rpm)
I think it means that the hard drive percentage space quoted in df is
(space used/(total avail-N%) and Avail = Total avil-N%. Only root can use
this remaining n% but it sometimes can't if it checks from space available
first (ie rpm). The tune2fs -m 0 that was suggested fixed this prblems for
me perfectly.
