OK, thanks, I installed this (revised) patch into coreutils, which I
hope addresses that problem.
No, if you're going to use the statvfs block size you need to pull the
other numbers from statvfs also. IOW, just add another flag (-F?) to use
statvfs instead of statfs. I don't know of any assurance that they the
two sets of numbers will be the same. (And since this entire thread is
about the possibility that something might be ambiguous on some
implementation somewhere, it doesn't make sense to make an assumption.)
