Hi Pádraig and Aaron, That patch looks fine. Thanks to both of you! I noticed that there is a semantic difference with df. Running "df symlink-to-dir" works like "df dir", while "stat --format=%m symlink-to-dir" operates on the symlink, not on the directory. That does seem to be the proper default, given stat's --dereference (-L) option (which I confirmed does work fine). It might be worth adding a note in the texinfo doc that people looking for df-like semantics from %m should use --dereference (-L).
