Question on getfsstat()

[Matthew Dillon]

Interesting.  It is probably related to the hidden real root mount.  When there is an encrypted root, the real root is actually a RAM disk image, plus /dev.  The system root is mounted underneath it and essentially chrooted, then all the normal mounts plus another /dev are under that.  NULL is probably skipping the visibility filter.  If another dev doesn't get to it, I'll track it down on Thursday.

Could it be because I'm using initrd to switch to an encrypted root on boot? This is on a 4.5 machine. If I install a fresh copy of the latest 4.5 and take all the installer defaults, the two getfsstat returns above match, so its obviously something I'm doing.
