A file serial number is described as being a number which described the
file uniquely on a filesystem. The description of dirent.h is a bit of a
giveaway, because the d_ino member is called a file serial number. So,
yes, it looks like it's the number of inodes.

I'll update the code to return the number of clusters (aka blocks) in the
serial number fields.

Thanks! Bye, Rich =]
