by default, when you create a new ext2 filesystem, 10% of that space is
reserved for various things like inodes and such. so, for a 20 gig drive,
that is ~2 gig. if you run this command:
# tune2fs -m 5 /dev/hdc2
it will reclaim 1 gig, or 5% of that 10% reserved. or you can adjust it to
your liking. realize that there is a tradeoff for this. the less reserved
space you have, the few total number of files you can, and inodes. i usally
go with 5% and i've never had a problem. hope this helps out.
