So, how is this actually a problem for the case at hand ? Is bleachbit so badly designed that it can't be made to work with fstat output ? If I understand your problem correctly, bleachbit is going to build a list of files it wants to remove, then try its best to check whether these files are actually in use by the system. There, inode/devno information is exactly what you need. You just need to coerce bleachbit into pairing that information correctly.
