You aren't right. The 1 TB disks are 2x bigger than 500 GB, but they cost is not 2x bigger. And the 20 % free space is not only for fragmentation (but it is right suggestion). It is very good for unexpected situations (misconfiguration, software errors and some system inspection – for example iotop output to file, etc). ;-) Of course, the exact % value depends on the disk size, on bigger disk i can left less %, but for fragmenation's purpose the 5 % is minimum, suggested for many filesystems. regards -- Slavko http://slavino.sk
