Nodes stats fs

I was examining a node to see how it failed after getting a "No space
left on device" error when pushing lots of PDF and Word docs at an index.
Logging into the machine and using df, I see I have no disk space on
this virtual machine.

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/mvc--es00-root 18541492 18308816 0 100% /
...
Oops, all full up.
Using /_plugin/head clicking on the overview | | node stats
which is the same as the command
http://172.16.0.177:9200/_nodes/172.16.0.188/stats?pretty=1
I get the following (see below)

What is "free: 227.2mb" vs "available: 0b"?
Obviously the disk is full and I have not allocated nearly enough space,
but was wondering what this list was trying say with the "free" values?

thanks,
-Paul

Free is an estimation of how much free space is in the drive, available is a more accurate computation of it. You should use available.
