The first time through the code sample_time is set to 0.0 on line 588.
Eventually we call display_iostats() and check if sample_time == 0. It
does, so we set sample_time equal to the mount age on line 368. I'm
seeing instances where the age of a mount is 0.
cat /proc/self/mountstats | egrep "device|age"
device fashome-n1:/vol/home/fahome mounted on /home/fahome with fstype
nfs statvers=1.0
age: 0
All of our storage is automounted, so volumes are frequently getting
unmounted and remounted.
Makes sense. When I wrote the script, I wasn't using automounter at all.
It might be simpler to have one check for a zero age at 368.
My only concern with checking and just returning (which is certainly
easier and a smaller change) is that we end up not printing anything for
a volume that is technically mounted. I figured it was better to print
the volume info and all zeroes than to not print anything.
Unfortunately not printing anything in this case might be considered
"following the precedent" of Unix tools -- don't print anything in error
cases, or when there is nothing to show. I think that's the rule I
followed for RPC procedures that have a zero op count. But it would
still be useful to see other relevant information for that mount, as you
point out.
What would happen if, at line 368, you set sample_time to 1 if the
mount's age is zero?
I'll defer to your opinion on which of those two is best.

I haven't looked at this code in a very long time. Why was sample_time
zero? That seems wrong.
This was causing ZeroDivisionError's:
