How does the Disk Plugin calculate totalSpace of the partition in Linux?

The Netprobe uses the function statfs() to gather this information about specific mounted file systems.

The value of totalSpace of disk shown in Disk sampler is based on the total value of “Used” & “Available” columns and not from “1K-blocks” as it might be expected.

Please also note that the total value of “Used” & “Available” columns might not be equivalent with “1K-blocks” column due to blocks that are reserved for root.
