Disk space allocation

[Alex Merritt]

Hello,

File systems such as ext3/4 reserve some amount of space for allocation
only by privileged users, which can be adjusted, e.g.

tune2fs -m reserved-blocks-percentage /dev/sdaN

I installed a BSD system using Virtualbox, giving it an 8GB disk, but 'df'
shows an aggregate size among all mount points to be less than the
capacity. The minfree parameter to tunefs defaults to 8% (see below) but 8%
does not account for the difference in 8189MB capacity vs sum of ca. 6G
among all file systems (shown by df). There's ca. 27% of capacity
unavailable.

What could I be missing here?

# fdisk
[...]
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165,(DragonFly/FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
    start 63, size 16773057 (8189 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
end: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63

# dumpfs /dev/ad0s1a | grep minfree
