Unless there is some bug in the implementation (I think that feature is seldomly
used), using "-80%" and "-20%" should do the trick. That is, 

HEBEX-SPACE_80            	        /SPACE_80                               -80%     ext3    rw
HEBEX-SPACE_20                     	/SPACE_20                               -20%     ext3    rw

It means "use at most 80% (20%) of disk space", and remaining space should get
distributed proportionally.

Maybe you could report back success or failure :-)

Best,
Michael
