If I'm running a RAID 5, do I need to leave 10% of the hard drive space free?

[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1668875, member: 131855"] I had a drive in a NAS a while back and made a mistake copying files. Given the number and size of the files it's highly likely this pushed free space at or below 1%. I say highly likely because the copy operation did not finish and also didn't throw up a warning. I finally had to cut power. The end result is that the drive directory structure was completely borked. [/QUOTE]
