[Sorry for any email thread butchering.  I've only just subscribed to
the list and seen this in the archive.]

Background:
I'm working on adding some level of support for bcachefs into GParted.
It wants to be able to report the FS usage (per device) of a file system
to (1) display in the UI, and (2) to limit how small it allows a
partition to be shrunk.  (I understand that bcachefs doesn't currently
support shrinking devices).

What I would like from bcache fs usage is:
1. To be able to get free and capacity figures for a device in an
   unmounted bcachefs file system.
   EG:
   bcachefs fs usage /dev/$PTN
2. To continue to be able to get free and capacity figures in bytes.
   Using a command line switch is okay.

Thanks,
Mike
