Are you aware that there is space in file systems reserved for use only by
root? That may explain your confusion.

The purpose of the reserve is to allow a sysadm to allow some things to keep
working even if a normal user fills up a file system.

The size of the reserve on ext2/3 file systems can be changed with tune2fs.
