RE: Linux and superblocks

Yes, it is.

man mke2fs:

 -m reserved-blocks-percentage
              Specify the percentage of reserved blocks for the super-
              user. This value defaults to 5%.

%-> Hello,

%-> Is it possible to format a partition without attributing superblocks in
%-> linux? This space (to my understanding) can only be used by the
%-> superuser, and since squid runs as nobody this space is essentially
%-> wasted. In the case you have multiple partitions, some obviously get
