depends on how we, as a sysadd, take it. in many cases
df -h shows 100% disk utilization on the drive where /
is mounted. but, some services, like xfs, run as root
& needs some space on the partition.

there are many other similar intricacies involved, i
mentioned just one. i had a similar problem which said
"could'nt start x font server" & my x used to crash.
it took a bit of time to make out the problem. so its
better if we leave it the default value.
