An ideal a of a local ring (R, m) is called m-full if am: y = a for some y in a certain faithfully flat extension of R. The definition is due to Rees (unpublished) and he had obtained some elementary results (also unpublished). The present paper concerns some basic properties of m-full ideals. One result is the characterization of m-fullness in terms of the minimal number of generators of ideal, generalizing his result in a low dimensional case (Theorem 2, § 2).
