Currently, if you run statfs() on an empty filesystem, f_blocks gives you the total number of blocks in the system, and f_bfree gives you the same number minus the "minfree" space (usually 10%). This means that if you do your math based on these numbers, an empty filesystem will appear to be 10% full. Are our values correct? What does the standard System V statfs do? Does System V have a notion of space that only the superuser can fill? -- David Elliott dce@mips.com or {ames,prls,pyramid,decwrl}!mips!dce
