m4vhehe, now that I think about it, I said i was going to upload a better version but I sort of forgot20:06
m4vPici: I pop in and out in some projects kinda randomly20:06

dholbertMTecknology: ping?22:44
MTecknologydholbert: ya?22:45
dholbertMTecknology, was just reading your blog post http://profarius.com/content/running-0bytes  at planet.ubuntu22:46
MTecknologyoh22:46
dholbertMTecknology, and I was wondering, did you account for the fact that ext file systems reserve 5% (by default) to be only writeable by root? (and invisible to normal users)22:46
dholbertMTecknology, to completely use up that space, you'd have to write a bunch of files as the root user, until root can't write anymore22:47
MTecknologydholbert: I didn't before I sent it up but I was just reading up on things some and I guess that's why I was able to keep creating new files with that 8bytes22:47
dholbertMTecknology, if you want, you can account for that by doing "tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sdX"22:48
dholbertMTecknology, that sets reserved blocks to 022:48
dholbertMTecknology, (without needing to reformat or anything)22:49
MTecknologydholbert: thanks22:49
dholbertMTecknology, no prob22:50
MTecknologyI'll have to try it again to see what happens but I think writing that 1byte file over and over is what filled up that space. I have 8 bytes left and copied that file ~200 times22:51
MTecknologybut I couldn't create one larger than a few bytes22:51
dholbertMTecknology, that space only would have been used up if you were doing that as root22:52
dholbertMTecknology, a normal user isn't allowed to fill up that space22:52
MTecknologyI did22:52
dholbertoh cool22:52
dholbertmissed that part22:52
dholbertnevermind then :)22:53
MTecknologyI didn't mention it22:53
MTecknologyI do want to try again with that tunefs though22:53
MTecknologydholbert: thanks for that suggestion; I like feedback - especially when I could be wrong. :)22:59
dholbertMTecknology, cool :) I happen to know about this because the default amount of reserved space can actually be quite large, so I usually tune it down to 0 or 1%23:06
dholbertMTecknology, default value is 5%, which is 50 GB on a 1TB drive23:06
dholbertand it's kind of silly to reserve 50 TB to be writeable only by root :)23:07
macodholbert: i keep reading your nick as some cross between dholbach and dilbert23:07
MTecknologyI did that too :P23:07
dholbertheh23:08
MTecknologydholbert: 50TB on a 1TB drive is very large; but I also agree with 50GB being very large23:08
MTecknology:P23:08
MTecknologyThat's nice to know for in the future when I have a drive big enoughto mess with23:09
dholbertMTecknology, it's more for if have a large ext3/4-formatted drive for backups or data or something23:10
dholbert*if you have23:10
