Please have a look at the math . the .5 GB as u say has been subtracted . Ayways . if /dev can have 250 mb free , Why cant i allocate that space somewhere else .
5% disk space is reserved for the root user as Dinesh mentioned. That's what he's asking you to read. According to that approx 400MB is reserved for root. So for a normal user only 100 MB is available. That way the math works out.
