RE: df -k confusion

Don't know if this is the same for Dec but:

1. unmount the filesystem
2. tunefs -m 0 /dev/whatever  (be sure to RTFM first)
3. remount the filesystem

You can also specify a different free space amount when you create the filesystem. Look at mkfs or newfs or whatever underlying command your gui uses.
