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. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
