OK below is what I have. I have another question now. If the 'reserved' space is for root, why does root need space on all partitions for? For example why would I need to reserve space for the root user on /home, /tmp, /opt, /tmp. I can see this as being need for /var and /root, but what use is this on the other partitions?
The reserved blocks are also used for file system journal and are needed to avoid fragmentation.
