File System Tuning

In linux ext3 file system, it reserved some space. The default percentage (%) for that space is 5%.
In any case if  root partition ' / ' is full we can use those reserved space.
Simply using File System tuning command tune2fs.

# tune2fs -m N /dev/partition-number   --- Syntex

#tuene2fs -m 0 /dev/sda1 

The above command will reduce reserved partition space from 5% to 0%. If you partition doesn't contain any important data only songs and movies its a great time to reduce percentage and increase the space.
