It would be. Attached is a new patch. I didn't know we could call
statvfs() from Python (nor did I ever bother to look, but whatever).
Much nicer.
Mounting can entail side effects, though, such as journal recovery and
has also in some cases ended up with filesystems having new,
incompatible features enabled. While I guess it's possible that running
dumpe2fs, etc on a filesystem could do similar things, it just feels a
lot less likely.
Another problem is this fails in the livecd case, as for example the live-usb stick
there is usually already (auto) mounted, so this fails with a busy error, leading to
a traceback.
Not Good.

Hans
