This is done for safety reasons.. The filesystem reports 0 available
because it is dangerously low on space for even the system to function
normally. Note however, if you are root, you will be able to use this
space. I wouldn't want to change this behaviour if I were you, and alas
even if you wanted to I couldn't tell you how. :)

But I can. Run `tune2fs /dev/hda3 -m 0'. This sets the reserved
block percentage to 0, or whatever value you specify.
