EXT3 Reserve Space
Hi All,
Whenever an EXT3 partition is created some space is reserved for super-user, *I used the mkfs.ext3 with option -m set to 0, but there is no effect it still reserve the space. How can i set the reserved-space to 0 or calculate the reserved-space in advance? Any suggestion/idea?

EXT3 Reserve Space
Hi,
Are you sure -m option is not working with mkfs.ext3? Can you verify it using tune2fs ? If 5% is reserved already, you can use "tune2fs* -m 0 device" to modify it and check Reserved blocks count using "tune2fs -l device" command.

Hi,
Yes, I checked it with both(mkfs.ext3 and tune3fs) on multiple systems but no effect. I also checked -m with multiple values(0, 1) but no effect I am using Fedora 13.

Hi,
I think problem is solved. Actually i am checking the sizes in gparted and it is showing wrong value for 'USED' field. Now i check the sizes using df and it shows correct sizes. The version of e2fsprogs is: e2fsprogs-1.41.10-6.fc13.i686 I used the following command to create an ext3 file system mkfs.ext3 -m 0 /dev/sda2 Thanks to all of you for your time and sorry for confusion.
