Umm, no. ext2/ext3 filesystems, and probably also others, reserve some
space, that can be accessed only by root. This is probably what you
are seeing. Filesystem performance degrades badly once it is about 90%
full, so that you would be well advised to keep usage below that.

Don't know what defragfs is, but seems like it is a JFS-only tool, and
your filesystem is something else. Use "mount" or "mount -l" to check.
Conventional wisdom is that, unlike FAT, modern file systems do not
need defragmentation. In fact, I am not aware of an ext3
defragmentation tool. There used to be an offline one for ext2
filesystems, called e2defrag, but I would very much doubt that it is
actually needed.
