I'd like to keep statvfs() as the ``standard'' interface, rather than extending it to cover all of the information that statfs() has. In order to grow statfs() we need to rev libc. It might be appropriate to do that in the 5.2 time frame, if we are still anticipating that 5.2 will be the -stable crossover point. RE team? -GAWollman
