behavior of "df" under root and regular user

Maybe I should make myself a wee-bit clearer. The behavior IS to be expected
if you know how BSD file-systems work. There is 10% disk space that is not
available for USER storage (in other words, for users, 10% of the disk is
already claimed and can't be used). This does not hold for the system in
general.

Just remember to use "User-df" to see what the user would have available
when monitoring disk usage...

There... hope that's better!

 the very, very top, and then it tends to slope away rather sharply."
