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.

Please let us know the version of e2fsprogs you are using, and then
show the commands you used which exhibited this problem.
Thanks,

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.
Regards,
