Used memory + available memory < total physical memory, for example:
~/$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/XXX 107G 87G 15G 87% /
/dev/hda1 99M 16M 79M 17% /boot
/dev/shm 1006M 0 1006M 0% /dev/shm
use% is an estimate.
So my guess would be 1) there was still a small amount of memory left so you
were able to copy small sized files onto. 2) you overwrote something and the
system did not give any warning.

Quoting Roger Barnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi all,
I have a Seagate SATA disk attached to my Ubuntu system, and the df
command seems to be a little confused. Extract below...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/$ df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 114879816 109103408 0 100% /mnt/seagate
I can copy files onto the disk and the Used number goes up, but the
Available and Use% counts have me baffled. Could this be something
to do with sparse files? If so, how might I identify the culprit/s?
Cheers,
- Rog
