The disk is allocated in clusters of, say, 4K (though it could be much bigger), If only 2K of a cluster is used, it still uses 4K of space. If there are a lot of small files on the drive, the % of slack space is a killer.
Also don't forget that IIRC 10% of an ext3 partition is reserved for use by the root user, you can change this on the flay with ext2tune from memory... -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
