disk_*_space uses statvfs on macOS and it returns inaccurate results for some filesystems

[risner]

Description

The following code:

<?php print disk_total_space("/nfs1") . "\n";?>

Resulted in this output:

198919206912

But I expected this output instead:

60518056220

The code works correctly for local filesystems, and fails on NFS.
If I remember correctly the posix standard is not required to provide correct information. Should php never be using the statvfs call?

Data points for NFS:
php total 198919206912
correct total 30985244784640
df total 30259028110
vfs total 194257038
fs f_bsize 512 vfs 1048576
fs f_iosize 1048576 vfs f_frsize 512
fs f_blocks 60518056220 vfs 388514076
fs f_bfree 20573829227 vfs 3393960043
fs f_bavail 20573829227 vfs 3393960043

Data points for local:
php total 245107195904 vfs 245107195904
correct total 245107195904
df total 3496966385312
vfs total 3496966385312

Additionally, on FreeBSD there is a standards note:
STANDARDS
The statvfs() and fstatvfs() functions conform to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001
(“POSIX.1”). As standardized, portable applications cannot depend on
these functions returning any valid information at all. This
implementation attempts to provide as much useful information as is
provided by the underlying file system, subject to the limitations of the
specified data types.

Looking at macOS's Libc-1353.11.2, it does a conversion from statfs to statvfs in libc.
It is an integer overflow issue.
size x64 = 8; size x32 = 4
x64 = 60518056220; x32 = 388514076

For reliable results, on macOS the source should be statfs(2) instead of statvfs(3). I suspect this is a good practice to do whenever statfs is also available. Linux my be the exception, I found a number of statements regarding Linux doing statvfs correctly while researching this issue.

Code snip of the function:
/* Internal common conversion function */
static void
cvt_statfs_to_statvfs(struct statfs *from, struct statvfs *to)
{
to->f_bsize = from->f_iosize;
to->f_frsize = from->f_bsize;
to->f_blocks = (fsblkcnt_t)from->f_blocks;
to->f_bfree = (fsblkcnt_t)from->f_bfree;

are you able to propose a PR eventually ?
