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. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
