Re: Free space question

[Eric Sandeen <sandeen@sgi.com>]

imaxpct sets how much filesystem space can be consumed by the inodes
themselves.  It is not reserved, just an upper bound.

You would want to raise the imaxpct, if anything, to test this. 
However, if you were able to lower it, that means that you had not yet
hit the old max, so that's not the problem.

Still thinking...
