Another thing. The numbers didn't seem to match up exactly. Linux reservers from space on disks for root user only. At one point think it was 10%, but now think is defaulted to 5%. I sometimes more it down to 2%
/dev/sda4 91940832 86210116 1130112 99% / tune2fs -m 2 /dev/sda4 Can't seem to find a way to have tune2fs report the %, Hopefully, something helps.
