Terrence, the file system tries to reserve about 10% (a default) of
its capacity. As root, you can continue filling the file system
until you reach it's true capacity. Consider it a valve designed
to keep a normal user from wreaking havoc with your system.

The ufs filesystem reserves 10% of the disk space. This is
necessary to achieve its fast performance. df shows this.

I have a replacement program for df, di ver 1.19 that I can
e-mail to anybody who wants it. It allows you to choose the
display format, including displaying the percentage used
as the actual value, not including the 10% overhead. It is
highly portable, making an excellent system administration
tool for those with heterogenous networks.

Brad,
I would be interested in this program called di. Please let me know
where I can get it.
Thanks.
