Possibly for fstatfs(): fstatfs() has no way of looking up mount points per
path name in /proc/mounts, and so it resorts to mapping from the numeric
statfs->f_type to the filesystem name (e.g., "ext3"), looks up the first
mount point with that name, and sets the statfs->f_flag flags based on that
entry. This field may change from one arbitrary value to another.
What are you talking about? fstatfs is a syscall, we do nothing but
copying values around at userlevel.
statvfs on the other hand does use /proc/mounts. And it most
certainly does look at the mount point before looking at the
filesystem type.
