Well, I just did the reverse (ran a FreeBSD FFS disk out of space so
it reported a -ve free and mounted in on Solaris10). Here are the
"df" outputs (I used "df -k" on Solaris, since that's a compatible format):

FreeBSD-current server (nfsv4-newlap):
Filesystem  1K-blocks    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad4s3a   2026030  671492 1192456    36%    /

swap                  975140      28  975112     1%    /var/run

nfsv4-newlap:/sub1   4697030 4544054 18014398509259198     1%    /mnt

as you can see, Solaris10 doesn't assume it's negative and
reports lottsa avail.

I don't have a Linux client handy, so I can't do the same test
with Linux, rick
