[modules/disk] Use bavail instead of bfree #1004

Closed czert closed 7 months ago

The ext4 filesystem reserves 5 % of disk size. os.statvfs(path).f_bfree reports this reserve as free disk space, while f_bavail considers it "full".

I believe f_bavail gives more useful information, as the reserved space cannot be used. Also, it's in line with what df reports.

Sounds sensible, many thanks!
