IMO the percentage used is, these days, less useful.  On a 3 TB file
system, the difference between 99% and 100% isn't as useful as knowing
there are still 5 GB of storage free (or in my particular case knowing
there is at least 800 MB free).

Is there any chance of making future versions of hobbit support
reporting by the remaining free space, rather than the percentage
free?
