[ydl-gen] Free space is missing (du, df and HFS plus file system)

[Eric Dunbar]

Using HFS+ utilities in Linux? I thought they were out-of-date and deprecated?

As for running a Mac OS X/Mac OS 9 utility... that would require me to
physically access the computer (and find my ADB keyboard and mouse and
rearrange things to hook up the monitor ;-). Would you really want me
to do that? ;-) ;-) ;-)
