I write to this email address according the link: http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/coreutils-faq.html#How-do-I-add-a-question-to-the-FAQ_003f. I need filesystem details (size, type, freespace, etc). The most appropriate utility for this purpose is coreutils 'stat' (as I could find). In my case, filesystem to be probed can be both mounted and dismounted. In case of mounted filesystem I have no questions. In case of dismounted filesystem I cannot get her details, because I cannot specify any file in it. So, this is a question: Can coreutils 'stat' utility display details of dismounted filesystem? Or may be another coreutils utility can? Thanks, v99glu.

Thanks for telling us where you spotted the bug-coreutils@ reference That is no longer the correct address, and I've just fixed that page and added some clarification. FAQ-related discussion is better directed to the coreutils@gnu.org list. Your message to the bug- list has automatically opened a bug "ticket" http://debbugs.gnu.org/8823 which means someone has to manually close it.

Or may be another coreutils utility can? If a file system is not mounted, then no coreutils program can do what you want. However, if you really need to inspect a file system without mounting it, consider libguestfs (http://libguestfs.org/).
