[asterisk-users] A reason TO run Asterisk as root

I finally found a reason TO run Asterisk as root.

By default, ext[23] file systems "reserve" 5% of the filesystem for root.

Thus, you may get some warning when everything non-root starts failing 
and give you a chance to free up some space before Asterisk is affected.
