I also do backups with ext4 and external drives. I have found that
some/all(?) ext4 drives I have reserved a certain percentage of space for
use only by privileged processes. I find that to use up all of the space as
a normal user, I have to use the -m option of the tune2fs command to set "
reserved-blocks-percentage". I find that business fiddly and so I won't be
listing any example commands, sorry...

BW,
