yes, but have you chnaged the alloocation scheme from Time (default) to
Space using tunefs? you should proabably reduce minfree to 1% if it's
still 10%.
qmail has lots and lots of small configuration files, queue files, etc
which will only consume part of a block and time allocation leaves you
with lots of part-used blocks. (it's almost the degenerate case)
