Lars Wirzenius <l...@liw.fi> added the comment:

Right. So I guess at least the following should be changed (I'll make an actual 
patch once there's consensus):

* st_blocks should say that the size of block is often 512 bytes, but that's 
not guaranteed, and there's no way to know for sure

* st_blksize should say it is size of efficient I/O, and is unrelated to 
st_blocks

Should there be something more? Ideally, there should be a way to find out the 
size of blocks for st_blocks, but I don't know how to figure that out (though 
probably code from GNU's du could be borrowed).
