Subject:   df inconsistency
Message-ID:  <199909031914.PAA21107@laker.net>

df output on my system:
Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd1s1e   1113967   929244    95606    91%    /usr

Problem is that (total blocks) - (used blocks) does not equal
(available blocks)
1113967 - 929244 = 184723 = 83%

95606/1113967 = 9% (so the inverse is 91%)

So it appears that 89117 are "unavailable" but not counted as "used".

Inconsistencies like this drive me crazy.  It means I have to be aware
of this anomaly in order to keep from getting burned.  If there is some
underlying "reason" this can't be "fixed", I'd like to at least
understand why.

I don't currently have time to pursue this in source code.  My daughter
died in a car accident in July and I'm trying to get Florida to bring
charges against the driver and her mother.  And I moved back to
Kentucky and am actively looking for work.  If no one else can answer
this, I'll get to it in a couple months...

Any help to clear this up would be greatly appreciated.
