Synopsis: df - wrong size of /dev/ad0s3a

State-Changed-Why: 

df(1) is correct.  UFS filesystems in FreeBSD can be configured to
keep a minimum of free space unused, and only write data to the
free space reserve when the rest of the partition is full.  The
default size of this free space reserve is set to 8% and you have
filled all of your / partition and continued writing to it as root.
The root user is allowed to make use of the free space reserve, and
now you filled all of your free space reserve too!

Try to find out what is eating up all your / partition space.  The
filesystem code will happily recover and start behaving as usual
once you delete some of the data that is now filling your root
partition.

Thanks for submitting a bug report for what you thought was a
genuine bug :)
