about the %8, I use these disks as cache for squid and it is nearly full
all the time so they were always on space optimization mode I thought it
would not make too much overhead to change this...
also we only have a 256kbit connection to the internet so we can get
32kb/sec max I thought this would not saturate the drive performance so much
since only space optimization effects the writings and we are not writing
too much to the disk...am I right? in future I am thinking of changing it
again when we have more bandwidth and a new hard drive :)

Also I believe I am not out of inodes am I? it shows that 32% of them are used
and 90% of the disk is full, how can I run out of inodes?

what do you mean by every 4 frags? and 1024? by the way how can I
find more information about inodes?
