The following reply was made to PR bin/19635; it has been noted by GNATS.

Ok, so let's say my / is 100% full, my /usr is 50% full and my /var is 20% full. What would the total number tell me? That my file systems are 56.6% full. That tells me nothing about my root file system running out of space, so this number is completely useless to me. I have to agree with Sheldon, where is the use to this number?
