This is a wild shot, and I don't really think so myself, but perhaps
this is because of the x% of the disk space that gets reserved, to be
used by root only?  This is usually 5 or 10% (can't remember) and I
thought this was done on a per-partition basis, but perhaps for some
reason it calculates 5% of all the linux partitions and reserves that
space on the / partition. I doubt it, but...
