Cool, we're getting 51G from the system.

40 + 11 = 51

So Solaris df seems to do further munging of the sizes to
handle deduplication and what not, resulting in a virtual total.
I.E. total != used + avail.
I'm not sure why such details need to be exposed to the user TBH.

We'll keep special handling of file systems like these
under consideration for future releases.
