It'll > contain a string "nfs" or "ufs" etc.. I looked in the statfs man page and couldn't see any kind of definition of what went in that field (so as to use it to choose from). I took a quick look at the code, nothing immediately jumps out at me ... for an external system interface, it's certainly obscurely set up, isn't it? Do you know where the derivation of the f_fstypename values comes from?
