There is only root in dom0, and df erroneously substracts the default 5% of disk space as "reserved for root", which is just meaningless here.

It could be worth going further with doing the same for all FileSR types, but I thought I'd ask for feedback first.

If this becomes a thing, it could be useful then to find some way to get tune2fs -m 0 run on existing SR to make them even.

As you say, all access is performed as root anyway so I'm not sure what actual difference this will make?
