Mike, There's a reserved block count in the dumpe2fs output that you can check to see how much space is kept available for root to use for maintenance and elbow room. This is usually set to 5% of actual partition size and can be adjusted using tune2fs. Check out the -m (percent) and -r (number of blocks) options of tune2fs in the man page.
