Hi,
after a call of statfs() on my kernel-2.4.8, reiserfs returns for the fields f_files and f_ffree in the struct statfs values of -1.
Other filesystems return 0 for unsupported fields in the struct statfs, e.g. smbfs.
Some manpages say "Fields that are undefined for a particular file system are set to -1" (e.g. NetBSD1.4.3A from May24,1995), other say "Fields that are undefined for a particular file system are set to 0" (latest man pages from LDP)
Now. What's right? who's wrong? who's right?
Greetings
Jochen Dolze

we believe we are following the official standard. If you find we err
on this, let us know, but I think we used to set the fields to 0 and
then found out it should be -1.
