    This is quite common these days.  Usualy about 10% is 'reserved'
on a slice.  Only root can write to that part, and the % figure is
taken as relative to the reduced size.

     The reason is that when users fill up a slice the admin can sort
things out and have some room to manoever because of the protected
area.

     Regards,
            Harry.
