You should be ok as long as you don't go down to the last 2-3GB then it's starts warning you can't install larger .pkgs or update files, I used the free up 8% HDD option to get rid of the unused Linux OS stuff, 5GB free & CFW updates seem to install fully without problems locking up or blackscreening during the update.

@gumetall There is no danger in even zero free space on majority of environments, PS3 included.
@Kevstah2004 You totally not understanding what this application doing... It reducing preservation threshold set on UFS2. PS3 don't using Linux but NetBSD fork (CellOS). And you not understanding how update process going. Update firmware packages are placed and unpacking on dev_hdd1. So you can update/downgrade fw with zero free space left on dev_hdd0.

I don't know why people have been asking about this everywhere in the past few days. Someone shared that you need to have at least 30GB of free space or the system will get corrupted it, that's
not true.

Yeah you can tell i've not really dabbled with it much, so is OtherOS Linux or Unix based?
I only started going back to terminal stuff with Android bootloader after years away from DOS.
