It won't end your warranty but its not something to try without careful consideration.
Here are df results with setting "-m 0" giving me all available space:
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/c/c 460G 47G 413G 11% /c
This I execute tune2fs and put it back to default config:
# tune2fs -m 5 /dev/c/c
tune2fs 1.42.1 (17-Feb-2012)
Setting reserved blocks percentage to 5% (6044876 blocks)
Now df results again:
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/c/c 460G 47G 390G 11% /c
See how the Avail column drops 26 GB when I return to the default config? This creates the illusion of missing space :)
