I have a change to checkin shortly, changes the path to:
/proc/fs/xfs/stats
&
/proc/fs/xfs/stats.raw
The 'stats' file is easy on the eyes, the 'stats.raw' is simple, easy
to grok ascii, i.e:
xs_foo 1235
one per line..
Was able to do this by using the same read routine with just a few
more 'if's thrown in..
