This most probably is caused by the formating of your disk. From man mk2fs:
-m reserved-blocks-percentage
Specify the percentage of the filesystem blocks reserved for the
super-user. This avoids fragmentation, and allows root-owned
daemons, such as syslogd(8), to continue to function correctly
after non-privileged processes are prevented from writing to the
filesystem. The default percentage is 5%.
So if you did not add an -m parameter, the last 5% of your disk can be
used by root only.
You can change this percentage using tune2fs -m
But I'd definitely would recommend to enlarge the volume in question or
to organize an additional server.
With kind regards
