missing space on ext2fs scsi drive

[Timothy Wall]

I've run into an odd problem that I'm not quite sure how to diagnose.

My root partition  (a 2Gb partition on an 8Gb drive) shows (with "df")
around 55% usage (2203440 1k-blocks, a little over half used) and yet
fails complaining that the disk is full.   I don't recall exactly how I
partitioned the disk (probably pdisk).

Is my ext2fs accounting screwed?  Why does the FS think there is no
space when writing, but show space with "df" ?
