I have been collecting stats using _cat/allocation and I noticed that a new 
cluster showed a lot of disk being used for a few shards.
When I checked I found that _cat/allocation was very different to df.

For one node _cat/allocation gives:

12 51.2gb 956.5gb 1007.8gb  5 esekilx5170 134.138.165.70 70-1

while df for the filesystem allocated to that node gives:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_big-lv_es_1a
                     1008G   72M  957G   1% /var/lib/es/data1a

It looks like es is reporting the difference between free and total as used 
and ignoring the reserved free space.
Does anyone know if that is the case?
