There have been a couple of good suggestions. The "how can this be?"
answer is: the "Capacity" is reported as a percentage of usable
blocks. Notice that "Used" is still less than "1K-Blocks". 90%
(generally) of the "1K-blocks" figure is available for normal use (FFS
doesn't (didn't) work very well without a bit of elbow-room). General
users can't take the filesystem above that figure; root processes can.
