statvfs.3: note f_favail = f_ffree on Linux
Quoting myself from #musl:
01:59:40 hm, I think this was just invented for symmetry with bfree/bavail
02:00:46 FFS has minfree for space but nothing equivalent for inodes
02:32:31 (this is mirrored in ext4;
a global grep over DragonFlyBSD and the illumos gate
showed just NFSv3 forwarding from the server;
OpenBSD always sets it to the same thing as f_ffree;
oddly, NetBSD /does/ calculate it differently
for LFS and FFS but due to queued writes or
w/e not because of root reservation;
and as expected a lot of "/* what to put in here? */"
and "// XXX same??")
