I got three responses, two which said no to "-m 0" and one self declared essentially anonymous moderator (in an explicitly unmoderated forum) who seemed to think that newfs is not a Solaris issue or is covered in the FAQ some where (it isn't). The two answers where short on technical details but supported my view that minimum free of 0 is a bad idea.

In the past (on at least HPUX) using b-m 0b could lead to rather interesting results if the file system really goes to 100%. I was told (more years ago than I want to think about) that b-m 1b is the lowest you should use. Using b-m 0b does create a bit larger file system. What is a best practice for this?
