... and It is ok. I bought 16TB disk because I needed that much storage. If I were using, say, only 10TB, I would be wasting 6TB. I can expand my LVM as much as I can. But I definitely want my disk to be full. Same goes for my RAM. And I want my CPU ide time to stay as close as possible to 0% and my load average as close as possible to my no. of CPUs. Anything else would mean oversizing and overspending. | ||

Slack has value, though. Your full disk is likely to be very fragmented, making file access slow. A CPU running a full throttle cannot deal with spikes in demand. full RAM means less cache space available. And these issues get asymptotically worse as you approach 100% utilization (which can have catastrophic effects in organizations which are too heavily optimized for high utilization). | ||
