That's not what Tet was talking about.

What happens to your code:

    com=g_strdup_printf("/bin/rm -rf %s",dir);
    dummyvar=system(com);

if the string dir contains a space, like dir = "/foo /"?

Anyway, statvfs can be called on *any* file or directory within the
filesystem.  It doesn't have to be called at the top level, and it's
both crazy and dangerous for a reporting function to be creating
directories.

Ohloh's estimates are broken.  It estimates libguestfs to have taken
16 man-years (it was something in centuries back when we included all
the generated code), not bad for something which has existed for a
little over a year and certainly does not have a team of a dozen
people behind it.

Rich.
