Unfortunately, statfs in Linux does not return a filename. From statfs(2):
The Linux statfs was inspired by the 4.4BSD one (but they do not use
the same structure).
In fact, struct statfs does not contain f_mntfromname or anything equivallent
on Linux.
So I think it would be necessary to use statfs, only on *BSD (or if struct
statfs contains f_mntfromname).
Thanks,
