filesystem usage

I am not 100% sure of what you are asking.
I will throughout a couple thoughts.
df -m /mountpoint
Shows you the space that the file system is consuming when mounted. That would be the file system that is mounted on top of the underlying directory. It will not show you the space usage related to the underlying directory before the file system was mounted on top of the directory. The space usage in the directory before the file system was mounted will be shown by displaying space usage on the file system the directory(mount point) resides in.
I apologize if I misunderstood the question.
