Description

filesystem remote-ness appears to be lacking tests. coreutils expanded the internal whitelist so there are expected differences to be tracked.

https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/blob/67cc7a15e27c4ce7b63cf26be90a5fc87c22f310/src/uucore/src/lib/features/fsext.rs#L412-L417

Does not break anything on Ubuntu 26.04 as it currently reverts to df (GNU coreutils) 9.7 due to separate bugs.

https://github.com/coreutils/gnulib/blob/71801d72c71b6ae706d06a3a9fcb9c2ab1b4e5b4/lib/filesystem-remote.c#L24-L28

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.
