By default mke2fs reserved 5% of the filesystem for uid 0.
This is also used as a staging area to reduce fragmentation.

df does not include this area in the "free" size,
so if you fill a disk *as root*,
you must remove >5% for df to show any change.

30G is about 2% of 1.4T, so that's not enough.

You can remove this reserved area using tune2fs,
but that is a bad idea.
