What is the procedure for viewing the contents of the System Volume
Information folder? Is it true that the default setting is 15% of
volume? Can the default be decreased? If so how?

Setting default disk allocations based on a percentage of volume has
in many quarters for a long time been felt to be a misguided approach.
Are there any better ways for calculating a reasonable allocation? Is
a consensus of opinion on this issue emerging?

abcd please note 15% of 75 gb is 11.25 gb i.e your missing space!
