i'm working on a program that uses a statvfs call to check the space
free, space used, and total space on a filesystem. when looking through
the docs for statvfs, i see that there is f_bsize and f_frsize that
define block size and 'fundamental file system block size' or fragment
size. it also has f_blocks which is the number of f_frsize units in the
file system. i'm wondering about the f_bfree and f_bavail numbers
though. are these supposed to be in terms of f_bsize or f_frsize? since
its talking about blocks with these items and some of the docs refer to
f_frsize as fragment size, i'm guessing that they are in terms of
f_bsize. but it doesn't seem all that clear to me. anyone know for sure
what this is supposed to be? thanks.
