The old rule of thumb I had learned back on the S/36 was that you really
didn't want to go over 80% of disk space used. I had a manager (came from
the programmer pit and rose through the ranks) that wondered if that still
held true with the growth of disk. After all, 20% free of a whole gig of
disk space sure was a lot more than 20% of 300MB. I argued that object
size was significantly larger and that reorgs and whatnot still needed
significant portions of disk space.
Now that we're measuring disk in TB and MB is nought but a rounding error
does 80% still hold true? If so, why?
