     f_bsize        Fragment size.

     f_iosize       Optimal transfer block size.

     f_blocks       The total number of data blocks in the file system.

     f_asyncwrites  The number of asynchronous writes since the file system
                    was mounted.

     f_syncreads    The number of synchronous reads since the file system was
                    mounted.

     f_asyncreads   The number of asynchronous reads since the file system was
                    mounted.

     f_namemax      The maximum file name length for this file system.

     f_owner        The user ID of the user that mounted the file system.

     f_fsid         Unique file system ID.

     f_fstypename   The file system type name; a string of at most MFSNAMELEN
                    bytes.

     f_mntfromname  The device name the file system was mounted from; a string
