newfs -m 1 /dev/rdsk/c0t*d0s0  "new file system m=% of saved disk"

Not sure how big this disk is but the default "saved" is 10%
I'm also not sure on how to verify what the "reserved" space is.

Hi =
all,
      
      Just =
wondering if anyone have faced the prob that I had recently 
      =
before.
      
      I have a =
ultra2 system with solaris 2.6 installed. On a particular 
      filesystem =
which df -k shows a free space of abt 200MB, and du on that 
      fileystem =
also shows a free space of abt 200MB.
      
      However, =
when I try to mkfile 10m on that filesystem, it tell me "No =

      space left =
on device".
      
      When I fsck =
on that file system, it shows a 5.4% fragmentation.
      
      Even after =
tunefs, I am still unable to create that 10mb file.
      
      So, does =
anyone know how to reclaim that 200MB diskspace?
      
      A propose =
solution would be to backup that filesystem, newfs it and 
      restore. But =
I am looking for a reason on how it is possible that the 
      200MB =
diskspce being "robbed" by solaris.
