I disagree. 1) NFS already permits us to mount file systems which are=20
large enough to need this change, and 2) we certainly don't need to gate=20
this change on disklabel changes. :-)

I agree that changing the statfs calls won't do much until we change=20
disklabel support. But going forward on statfs seems like a good thing=20
regardless.

Take care,
