The function `get-free-disk-space' in files.el gives free inode count
rather than free data block space on OS X 10.8 and later.  This is
because it relies on the "df" command and parse the output as follows:

	    ;; Assume that the "available" column is before the
	    ;; "capacity" column.  Find the "%" and scan backward.
	    (goto-char (point-min))
	    (forward-line 1)
	    (when (re-search-forward
		   "[[:space:]]+[^[:space:]]+%[^%]*$"
		   (line-end-position) t)
	      (goto-char (match-beginning 0))
	      (let ((endpt (point)))
		(skip-chars-backward "^[:space:]")
		(buffer-substring-no-properties (point) endpt)))))))))

The output on OS X 10.8 looks like this:

Filesystem    512-blocks      Used  Available Capacity iused      ifree %iused  Mounted on
/dev/disk2    1996082176 172984304 1822585872     9% 2508930 4292458349    0%   /
devfs                371       371          0   100%     642          0  100%   /dev
map -hosts             0         0          0   100%       0          0  100%   /net
map auto_home          0         0          0   100%       0          0  100%   /home

So, `get-free-disk-space' adopts the "ifree" column rather than the
"Available" column.

One could use the "-P" option to suppress the inode columns.  But this
doesn't seem to be smart (cf. Bug#6995).

Some platforms rely on the primitive function `file-system-info'
instead of the "df" output to get free space.  How about implementing
`file-system-info' also for other platforms using the fsusage module
in Gnulib?
