All,
As I thought, this was a simple question, and I must have been blind to
miss the answer. To quote Peter Bestel:
10% is reserved for UFS operations. This is specified by the
minfree parameter when you newfs / mkfs a file system. root
can access the 10%, which is the default minfree setting, but
normal users cannot. See the newfs(1M) and tunefs(1M) manual
pages.

Thanks to all who responded...the total number who responded was 66, so
I won't waste any additional bandwith by posting the names here. Of
those 66 respondents, 65 were most helpful and understanding; me as a
relative newbie to the world of Unix administration appreciates the
patience. One saw fit to slam me for not carefully checking the
summaries for the last 5 years. While that person was correct...I
should have dug deeper for the answer to a relatively common
problem...I'm comforted to see that about 98% of this list remembers
what it was like to be at the beginniing of a Unix system admin career.
Thank you all again very much!!
Greg
