Okay, maybe I spoke too soon... It worked twice. To get the number of files, I am doing this now:

- (NSNumber *)fileCount
{
NSDictionary *attributes = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileSystemAttributesAtPath:path];
        return [NSNumber numberWithDouble:
                        ([[attributes objectForKey:NSFileSystemNodes]
                          doubleValue] - [[attributes 
objectForKey:NSFileSystemFreeNodes]
                                                   doubleValue])];
}


The first two times I got the right number (752339), but now I am getting 18749375. Is this way even supposed to work?

Thanks!

Is there a better way of doing it? Maybe with Cocoa tools?

If you want a non-Carbon way of doing this, take a look at statfs64(). It's not technically Cocoa, but it's not Carbon and it works just fine.

An equivalent to your code would simply be:

  self.count = [NSNumber numberWithUnsignedLongLong:fsbuf.f_files];

In fact, f_files (when it works) reports the total number of nodes on the filesystem, so you need to subtract f_ffree to find the number of nodes which are occupied. Also, you need to test that neither of these numbers is
-1, as some filesystems don't support telling you that stuff.

Cheers,
Graham.
