Your patch fixes the buildstats issue for building on a btrfs volume as
well.
bitbake no longer hits the exception and diskstats are omitted.

Theoretically, this information would be available for btrfs, but it is
not discoverable
in the way buildstats currently collects the disk statistics. However,
this is a seaprate
issue, I think.

Thanks a lot for fixing this,
