I argue the opposite. df doesn't show you the reserved space. the
first thing someone does to compare the values between libvirt directory
pool and df.
I don't mind reporting both but, I've yet to see a tool to report the
reserved value rather than the non-reserved.
Yeah, personally I'm in agreement with Ryan here. The "reserved" amount
is mostly a throw-back concept not often used these days. SysAdmins
generally kind of expect all of the "free" space to be reported/available
for use. If we can only show one value, it should be the whole amount,
not excluding reserved space.
