This adds a check to first confirm whether a directory is a mountpoint using os.path.ismount(), and if not, then runs an os.listdir() to count the files; empty directories are considered not mounted. This functionality allows for usage on setups with NFS and will not report free space of underlying filesystem in cases with local mountpoints as path.
