MChief said:On that note, don't fill NTFS or any other modern journaled filesystem (ext3, reiser, apple's funky bsd filesystem, etc) to more than 90% capacity.
Actually, FreeBSD (and I imagine Darwin and OS X, plus the rest of the *BSDs) won't let normal users fill an UFS (or UFS2) filesystem to more than 92% of capacity to avoid this.
