Yep, that's better. As you've suggested down below I'm adding this
functionality to xfs_io instead, and I've added autoconf rules there.

Yep, that was a better path. I've got things working - need to clean up and
I'll send out soon.

Fixed.

Maybe, but doesn't the output of 'stat -c %b' depend on the block size the
filesystem is using? I think to use stat I'd have to check both %b and %B,
and account for different block sizes, or do some shell math. I think it may
be easier to just use du.
Thank you for the review, sorry for the delayed response.
