It is a rounding error. The block size on the NFS client is typically
4 or 8k, whereas the block size on the local filesystem is typically
512 bytes.
On most UNIX implementations, the 'statvfs()' call supports two
variables f_bsize and f_frsize, which allow you to distinguish between
the two. Linux lacks kernel support for the latter variable.
