+ * @c: the UBIFS file-system description object
+ * @free: amount of free space
+ *
+ * This function calculates amount of free space which will be reported to
+ * user-space. User-space application tend to expect that if the file-system
+ * (e.g., via the 'statfs()' call) reports that it has N bytes available, they
+ * are able to write a file of size N. UBIFS attaches node headers to each data
+ * node and it has to write indexind nodes as well. This introduces additional
+ * overhead, and UBIFS it has to report sligtly less free space to meet the
+ * above expectetion.
+ *
+ * This function assumes free space is made up of uncompressed data nodes and
+ * full index nodes (one per data node, tripled because we always allow enough
+ * space to write the index thrice).
+ *
+ * Note, the calculation is pessimistic, which means that most of the time
+ * UBIFS reports less space than it actually has.
