per style, variables should be declared close to their use. also,
"initialization should be used instead of declaration and assignment"

+  }
+  dev_path = dev_path_cstr;
+  // Check that rootdev begins with "/dev/".
+  if (dev_path.compare(0, dev_prefix.length(), dev_prefix) != 0) {

[petkov, 2011/02/26 00:26:46]

if (base::StartsWithASCII(dev_path, dev_prefix, false))

This is simpler and doesn't need a comment or stat_path variables:

return "/sys/class/block/" + dev_name + "/stat";
