My first indication was on Sep 1 when I received this:

/dev/hda1 (/boot) is 101% full -- -16Z of 99M used, 104M remain

This was immediately after having updated FC3T1 with with a large 
batch of new packages including the dev-3.9.2-1.i386.rpm and 
kernel-2.6.8-1.538.i686.rpm packages, both of which proved unusable 
on my machine (and may be simply a co-incidence).  Since my 
configuration is a dual boot between FC3T1 and FC1, which share a 
common boot partition, the fact that I receive the above message in 
FC1 tells me it's not a problem with the "df" utility but rather 
something that's gotten hosed in the disk's partition information 
because of something that happened during or after the FC3T1 
update.
