[PATCH] UBIFS: improve statfs reporting even more

Artem Bityutskiy
2008-08-31T13:18:34Z

From: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

Since free space we report in statfs is file size which should
fit to the FS - change the way we calculate free space and use
leb_overhead instead of dark_wm in calculations.

Results of "freespace" test (120MiB volume, 16KiB LEB size,
512 bytes page size). Before the change:
