Weird item. The following shows the df command being used. The

This is SLES9 64 bit SP3 with ext3 file system.
When you format a filesystem you allocate a certain percentage of
blocks (default 5%) for root's usage.
That percentage is not calculated into the Use%.
The idea is that the filesystem fills up for ordinary users before it
fills up for root, so root has a chance to fix it before something
dreadful happens.
Which it's about to.
