The space isn't taken by the .deldir directory, it's taken by PFS3's
internal directory blocks. PFS3 allocates these at format time, while
FFS allocates them as it needs them. Although it may seem that the
PFS3 partiton is smaller as a result, it will actually hold more data
as the directory structure is more space efficient.
