$ tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sd???? Solves the problem.
yes, it solves the problem of "the numbers don't match" but it creates a new problem which those reserved-for-root-use space laid in the solution _before_ it happened..
that is, with the reserve: the day you can't log in as user because your disk is full, you _could_ log in as root and dump/move some stuff so that the disk was no longer full..
It only really aplies to the system partitions, not to a disk reserved for data only.
but as you have it now, with zero reserve, when the disk is full: not even root can get in to dump (say) /tmp and then find/fix the disk filling problem (like a log filled with thousands and thousands of error messages from some broke do-dad)
The log will fill if the process that writes is owned by root, anyway ;-) Anyway, having a reserve can be good for other things: allocation of space, shuffling... -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 12.3 x86_64 "Dartmouth" at Telcontar)
