To quote the FAQ [1] : A portion of each UFS partition (8%, by default) is reserved for use by the operating system and the root user. df(1) does not count that space when calculating the Capacity column, so it can exceed 100%. Also, you'll notice that the Blocks column is always greater than the sum of the Used and Avail columns, usually by a factor of 8%. For more details, look up the -m option in tunefs(8) [1] http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#DISK-MO= RE-THAN-FULL BTW. questions like this is best suited for the freebsd-questions@ mailing list. --=20 Simon L.
