Subject: mhddfs reports incorrect amount of space
Package: mhddfs
Version: 0.1.28-1
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***

When mounting multiple directories as a file system with mhddfs, the
space (total, used, free) shown for the resulting mhddfs mount point
is incorrect.

for example:

(from df -h)

A CIFS mount:
//192.168.11.5/share  465G  462G  3.5G 100% /mnt/samba/ls-share
(465G total, 462G used, 3.5G free)

An mhddfs mount made of 3 directories on the above CIFS mount:
/mnt/samba/ls-share/Music;/mnt/samba/ls-share/Music-mp3;/mnt/samba/ls-share/Music-organized
1.4T  1.4T   11G 100% /mnt/mhdd/Music
(1.4T total, 1.4T used, 11G free)
(should be same as above)

What is effectively happening is that since there are 3 directories on
the same "parent" mount point that make up the mhddfs "child" mount
point, the amount of total, used, and free space is being multiplied
by 3. The mhddfs mount point should show the same as the parent mount
point.

I know mhddfs is meant to span separate file systems, not just
separate directories, but I know of no easier way to effectively
combine 3 directories into one directory without creating a lot of
symlinks.
