So, how is this actually a problem for the case at hand ?
Is bleachbit so badly designed that it can't be made to work with fstat
output ?
If I understand your problem correctly, bleachbit is going to build a list
of files it wants to remove, then try its best to check whether these files
are actually in use by the system.
There, inode/devno information is exactly what you need. You just need
to coerce bleachbit into pairing that information correctly.
