cdm probe fails to recognize total size and used size for efivarfs filesystem type

Issue/Introduction

With the introduction of RedHat Linux 9.5 the efivarfs partition is now exposed to the 'du' and 'df' commands. I can see the partition in cdm, but the size and total free are listed as 0.

Environment

Version: Any
Component: cdm

Resolution

The cdm probe uses 'starvfs()' to capture disk usage. Currently. 'starvfs()' does not capture this type of volumes space, so cdm will not be able to alarm based on the data that is present.

The only thing that may be helpful, would be to use something like logmon with a command oriented checkpoint that would then parse the output of a df or du command.
