[PATCH] UBIFS: improve statfs reporting

Artem Bityutskiy
2008-08-31T13:17:13Z

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

Make free space calculation less pessimistic and more realistic,
which in turn improves 'statfs()' reports. Now it lies by 10%-20%,
instead of 20%-30% (10% more honest).

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