Why does single statvfs() call result in a stat() system call for each mounted filesystem?

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • A third-party application is making a statvfs() call for a particular filesystem, however the system is automatically doing a stat() call for every mounted filesystem.

Environment

  • RHEL 5
  • glibc (all RHEL 5 versions)
