Unlike FreeBSD, Linux doesn't have a f_fstypename field on struct statfs. However, it does provide a f_type field that contains a magic number corresponding to each filesystem. The full list of magic numbers resides in /usr/include/linux/magic.h, and they are also available in the libc crate, so this could possibly be done with a few tweaks to the FreeBSD code.

On the surface it looks like OpenBSD and FreeBSD could share the same code, but I don't have a way to test this at the moment.

Right now, some filesystems end in "fs," while others do not. Should we favor consistency, or should we try to stick to the common renderings? Right now I try my best to match the name as it is shown on Wikipedia, but abiding by the typical Rust convention of not capitalizing each letter in an enum if it is part of an acronym.

Should we classify e.g. linprocfs differently than procfs? As far as I can tell, both filesystems can be mounted on FreeBSD and it is possible to distinguish between the two, although the latter appears to be deprecated.

On the surface it looks like NetBSD and FreeBSD could share the same code, but I don't have a way to test this at the moment.

On the surface it looks like macOS and FreeBSD could share the same code, but I don't have a way to test this at the moment.
