UFS, by default, reserves 8% of space for use by root, and only root. `df' does not show this space. So if the FS was full, `df' would say it was 108% full. To change this percentage, run: # tunefs -m NEW-PERCENT Note that it is not advisable to change it below 8%, as this will cause the kernel to change the optimization level and make stuff slower. Basically, don't worry, all your space is there.
