Sorry ... this seems to be a feature I didn't know about ...

-> By default, 5% of the space on a filesystem is reserved for the root user.
This is so that if the filesystem fills up, there's still a little space for
root to come in and clean up the mess. You can change this percentage with the
-m option of tune2fs; do not do this while the filesystem is mounted and read
the manpage very carefully. This is a potentially dangerous operation.
