Check for the NFS FS type being true for a "local" stat of the file
to force usage of the 'st_size' value rather than calculating the size
using the 'st_blocks' and 'st_blksize'. As described in the stat(2)
man page:
"Use of the st_blocks and st_blksize fields may be less portable."
experimentation shows a 10M file could get the following output from stat:
st_size=10485760 st_blocks=88 st_blksize=1048576
resulting in a "44 KiB" value being displayed as the allocation value.
While this value does match the "du -s" value of the same file, the
"du -b" value shows the "st_size" field. Similarly a long listing of
the
file shows the 10M size.
Capacity should be the apparent size (what du -b shows, or st_size), while
allocation should track the on-disk usage (du, st_blocks * 512).
It looks to me that the values are correct, it's just that posix_fallocate
does neither work nor fail on NFS.
