97% seems very high. $ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 56G 7.4G 45G 15% / tmpfs 1.5G 12K 1.5G 1% /lib/init/rw udev 10M 940K 9.1M 10% /dev tmpfs 1.5G 0 1.5G 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda9 56G 35G 18G 66% /home/osamu/Desktop/data As you can see, I am putting some parts of home in different partition. There I have ISO etc. I think 80% is high enough.
