I don't think so. If I run df with /home/kdudka/foo and /home is a mount point it calls statfs for /home. With the new --direct option it calls statfs directly for /home/kdudka/foo. The last column then shows the (canonized) file (or directory) name and not the mount point, therefore the change in heading. Consider a NFS mount point. If there is different quota set for a subtree on the remote storage, it shows different values with --direct. > Why is --direct mutually exclusive with --local? It does not make sense as any mount point resolving is bypassed and it always shows the statistics for given file (if exists).
