Interesting, so I guess I stand corrected! I guess it is possible this
is happening to me on my Solaris install and I don't realize it? My
drive is 99% full according to df, but I never understood this
reserved space to be part of the "100%" of the drive -- after the
drive is 100% free, there is still 5% left in blocks/kilobytes.
