Hi Dan, The system keeps at least 5 or 10% of the total space free so that it will always be able to find a reasonably unfragmented spot for a new big file. That same 5 or 10% CAN be written by the root-user in emergencies. But "root" should know it can affect the peformance of his filesystem. Anyway, because you're still using part of the 5 - 10% reserved-for-performance reasons, "df" will report the user-available space as zero.
