Most useful tools that use statfs go to /proc/mouts, read all the entries and invoke statfs for each path. So if for some non-root path different values are returned, these tools won't see them anyway. So try to think about how to provide the info about subfilesystems first. -- Jan 'Bulb' Hudec <[email protected]>
