I've been looking for a clue to this for a couple of hours now, and naturally I get a (almost any way) answer shortly after sending a 'help me please' mail...

http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0406.1/0187.html

This talks about 25%. And the man page:

-m Specify a new value for the maximum percentage of space in

       the filesystem that can be allocated as inodes. In mkfs.xfs
       this is specified with -i maxpct=nn.

It's extreamly late, so I'm not getting it.

In ext3, the reserved block percentage is 5%, I assume this is the same...

Do you need help?

BUT, in ext3 (if memory serves me right), _root_ can use 100%!

So how come I can't fill an XFS file system to 100%, even as root?

I have a 1.5Gb filesystem, but could only copy files up to 1.1Gb. Removing a bunch of files, and using dd to fill the filesystem worked though (well, I could fill almost 1.3Gb before I gave up :).
