[issue43638] MacOS os.statvfs() has rollover for >4TB disks at each 4TB (32bit counter overflow?)

OK. What would be a solution from/for Python to get the correct available space on a MacOS system?

In SABnzbd we implemented a workaround with a direct call to MacOS C lib's statfs(). See https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/blob/develop/sabnzbd/filesystem.py#L948-L989

IMHO not a great solution for a python programmer. Could python's os.statvfs() use the correct (64bit) info from statfs()?
