I wasn't confusing with the `-m` reserve, but indeed my recollection was
more pessimistic than the reality. Thanks for the correction.
So it's only worth fiddling with this if either:
- your average file size (rounded up to blocks) is smaller than 16384.
(this could happen if you use the filesystem for something like
maildir mailboxes).
- You care about getting the last percent of your disk space.
