Many Linux file systems (ext2/3/4, definitely. I'm not sure about
others), reserve 5% of the space for root. That means that when the disk
is showing 100% full, root can still, say, compress a run-away log file
and then delete it.

You can either live with that safety net, or use a tool such as tune2fs
to adjust it.
