Description
filesystem remote-ness appears to be lacking tests. coreutils expanded the internal whitelist so there are expected differences to be tracked.
Does not break anything on Ubuntu 26.04 as it currently reverts to df (GNU coreutils) 9.7 due to separate bugs.

Research direction
Start with the filesystem remote-ness logic in src/uucore/src/lib/features/fsext.rs at lines 412-417 and the df --local entry point. Compare the behavior and whitelist with GNU coreutils' filesystem-remote.c and the linked gnulib commit. Done means the missing behavior has regression coverage and the expected differences are tracked.
