On my (ext3, LVM) drive on which I perform backups, I went to copy a large directory and starting getting loads of out-of-space errors, even though 'df' reports plenty of room, even to non-root users.


$ df -h /usr/backup
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/sata0-backup
                      464G  367G   88G  81% /usr/backup

.. but:

mv: cannot create regular file `blah': No space left on device

If you have a lot of small files you might run out of inodes before using all the space. Try 'df -i'.
