I've never run into the reserved blocks being an issue (even though it
may be the case here). I have run out of inodes (one per file, and if
you have a ton of little files...). Run df -i to see what percent inodes
your using.
Wikipedia has a good explaination of inodes
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inode).
