Switching to {f,}statfs is per se not really desirable.

quote from the manpage:
       LSB has deprecated the library calls statfs() and fstatfs()  and  tells
       us to use statvfs(2) and fstatvfs(2) instead.

statvfs is at least POSIX.

A simpler thing (i didn't look at the exact meaning of that function) may
be to just stat the path like e.g. the mountpoint applet ?) does.
