+ * ubifs_get_free_space - return amount of free space.
* @c: UBIFS file-system description object
*
- * This function returns amount of free space on the file-system.
+ * This function calculates amount of free space to report to user-space.
+ *
+ * Because UBIFS may introduce substantial overhead (the index, node headers,
+ * alighment, wastage at the end of eraseblocks, etc), it cannot report real
+ * amount of free flash space it has (well, because not all dirty space is
+ * reclamable, UBIFS does not actually know the real amount). If UBIFS did so,
+ * it would bread user expectetion about what free space is. Users seem to
+ * accustomed to assume that if the file-system reports N bytes of free space,
+ * they would be able to fit a file of N bytes to the FS. This almost works for
+ * traditional file-systems, because they have way less overhead than UBIFS.
+ * So, to keep users happy, UBIFS tries to take the overhead into account.
