Rajev:

This can be explained by the method used to store files.  I file will 
have at least two blocks assigned to it, the first block will be data 
and the second will be used to tell the file system where the file is 
located on the drive and is called a informational node or inode.  When 
you run df -h it tells you what amount of drive space is used, available 
and how large the drive is.  Also, 10% of all drive space is reserved 
for 'overflow' which can ONLY be used by users belonging the root group. 
  This is designed to prevent overwriting of information residing in a 
partition.
