The amount shown under "Avail" does not include the reserve, even if
it is set. If the reserve is used, then "avail" (and "Use%") become a
negative value. For example it might say -2.5GB Available.
The "Size" does include the reserve however.
I agree with Jake that this is due to it rounding 99.5% used to a whole number.
