The ufs/ffs keeps 10% overhead for efficiency and for security.  Only
root can create files when the fs exceeds 100% capacity.  You can change
the reserved percentage with the tunefs command.  Also note that the
sum of Used and Avail is not equal to the 1K-blocks column, but 90% of
that (39023 - (36958 + -1838) = 3903)...  ;-)

In other words, "don't worry."
