Bug description:
  Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/1074355:

  Source: libmina-sshd-java
  Version: 2.12.1-2
  Severity: normal

  The test
  org.apache.sshd.sftp.client.extensions.helpers.SpaceAvailableExtensionImplTest.testFileStoreReport()
  is observed to be failing in some chroots. Failures have been reported on
  launchpad [1] and in the Debian CI [2]. The test fails with the following
  exception:

  java.io.IOException: Mount point not found
  at
  java.base/sun.nio.fs.LinuxFileStore.findMountEntry(LinuxFileStore.java:105)
  at java.base/sun.nio.fs.UnixFileStore.<init>(UnixFileStore.java:69)
  at java.base/sun.nio.fs.LinuxFileStore.<init>(LinuxFileStore.java:49)
  at
  java.base/sun.nio.fs.LinuxFileSystemProvider.getFileStore(LinuxFileSystemProvider.java:51)
  at
  java.base/sun.nio.fs.LinuxFileSystemProvider.getFileStore(LinuxFileSystemProvider.java:39)
  at
  java.base/sun.nio.fs.UnixFileSystemProvider.getFileStore(UnixFileSystemProvider.java:381)
  at java.base/java.nio.file.Files.getFileStore(Files.java:1498)

  I could not reproduce this error in my local chroot. I also do not have
  access to a chroot where this issue is reproducible at will. However, I do
  have a theory based on an internet search.

  In particular, because we depend on /proc/mount to derive the FileStore for
  a file, this kind of a failure could have one of these reasons:
  a. The chroot has no /proc/mount
  b. The /proc/mount has a lack of information
  c. The chroot needs root permissions to read /proc/mount

  The use of FileStores has been reported to fail in chroot environments in
  the past [3][4]. I couldn't conclude about the extent to which this issue
  has been resolved in the openjdk. But [3][5] do suggest a way to avoid this
  problem.

  We run into this issue while getting the FileStore for a given Path using
  java.nio.file.Files.getFileStore(Path), which is what
  SpaceAvailableExtensionImplTest.testFileStoreReport() does. Alternatively,
  only for the sake of this test, we could use
  path.getFileSystem().getFileStores() and loop this test through them. This
  will, of course, run many more unnecessary tests including the current one.
  But it might be better than skipping this altogether.

  I hope to submit a patch.
