There may be a problem with a value returned from the statfs().

Could you please insert the following lines into FreeDiskSpaceMB() (in tools.c)?

 int FreeDiskSpaceMB(const char *Directory, int *UsedMB)
 {
   if (UsedMB)
      *UsedMB = 0;
   int Free = 0;
   struct statfs statFs;
   if (statfs(Directory, &statFs) == 0) {
+     dsyslog(LOG_INFO, "statFs.f_bsize = %d", statFs.f_bsize);
      int blocksPerMeg = 1024 * 1024 / statFs.f_bsize;
+     if (blocksPerMeg == 0)
+        blocksPerMeg = 1; // just to have something != 0
      if (UsedMB)
         *UsedMB = (statFs.f_blocks - statFs.f_bfree) / blocksPerMeg;
      Free = statFs.f_bavail / blocksPerMeg;
      }
   else
      LOG_ERROR_STR(Directory);
   return Free;
 }

With this it should list statFs.f_bsize in the log file and take care
of blocksPerMeg perhaps becoming 0. Mabe the block size on your very large
disk is larger than 1MB (just a thought).

Please let me know the result.
