Disk Utilization Threshold

[gemeit]

Hi,

Is there a recommended threshold for Disk Utilization how much free space should you set on a drive. 

 

any info appreciated.

 

Thank you

Too many different goals have different requirements. No way to generalize except to set an upper limit that is rational for some situations, keeping a minimum free space of at least the size of the largest single file that is currently on the disk or a few multiples of that.

 

You need free space if you need to run file system checks, if you get corruption too little free space can keep the repair from completing.
