We'd like to exclude all bind mounts so they available and used space isn't counted multiple times but the filesystem type is currently not collected.  
Knowing the filesystem type is useful for more thing I'd like to open a feature request.  
Thanks!

If found out that the fsstat module also count's it's values wrong because of bind mounts, it should exclude them always.
