Thank you for the report. Currently `stat --filesystem /dev/whatever' gives you information on the filesystem containing /dev/whatever (almost always the root partition, `/'). If you want info on a different partition, you should use a file on the desired mounted file system. Your version of stat is from the now-subsumed fileutils-4.1.11. The latest version of the coreutils package is here: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.0.tar.bz2 (coreutils is the union of fileutils, textutils, and sh-utils) _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
