No, as strace-ing reveals only statfs is called, and indeed, looking at
the source, %s is actually printed there, while it was in this bug
previously already discovered that %s is actually NOT the size of a
block (%s is f_bsize, and not f_frsize). So, the "stat -f /" is
actually misleading, even though it might be possible that in linux
f_bsize and f_frsize are always equal, this is not so defined.
