I read this and thought "Hm.. I reserve 0% for system, but that's ok
because I use tmpfs and separate partitions so I can never fill up the
root partion".

However, then I remembered I'd switched to reiserfs and suddenly
wondered if there was any parallel issue there at all.  I don't remember
any switches in mkreiserfs to reserve a % for root.  Did I miss this? 
Is it not a problem for reiserfs?
