The variable is defined as follow:
(defcustom directory-free-space-args
(purecopy (if (eq system-type 'darwin) "-k" "-Pk"))
"Options to use when running `directory-free-space-program'."
:type 'string
:group ‘dired)
On macOS(10.13.6), with the default value(“-k"), the result of
get-free-disk-space is the free inodes, which is not expected.
With another value(“-Pk”), the result is the available disk space, which is
expected.
The manual of df on macOS says:
-i Include statistics on the number of free inodes. This option is
now the default to conform to
Version 3 of the Single UNIX Specification (``SUSv3'') Use -P to
suppress this output.
So -P is needed on macOS.
