you have space left, but the inodes are all used up.
Typical problem for fs like extX.
What fs should I use instead? For future reference what's the current
standard?
I would verify that you are actually out of inodes before attempting to
fix that problem. df -i should show you your inode usage.
As everyone else has stated ext3 is set to keep 5% of the disk available
for root by default and that is likely what the issue is. I would not
change this as ext3 and most other file systems start having severe
fragmenting issues at 90% usage and up.

with 5% reserved for root he would see 5% free.
Not true because to a general user the disk is full and df will reflect
that. People have been asking this same question for decades.
