SubjectRe: f_frsize value in struct statvfs set to 0 instead of the f_bsize value

Yes, the problem described in inside glibc 2.1 for INTEL systems.
Report it to glibc maintainers.

I side-step the problem with a code like this:

struct statvfs statbuf; /* SysV and BSD definitions differ.. */
if ((rc = fstatvfs(fd, &statbuf)) == 0) {
/* Sidestep a problem at glibc 2.1.1 when running at Linux/i386 */
if (statbuf.f_frsize != 0)
availspace = statbuf.f_bavail * statbuf.f_frsize;
else
availspace = statbuf.f_bavail * statbuf.f_bsize;
}
