Hi Frank,
Having a look at http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta/commons/proper/io/trunk/src/java/org/apache/commons/io/FileSystemUtils.java?view=markup
I find the following issues:
- FileSystemUtils.getFreeSpaceWindows() will only work on English Windows versions
because of the dependency on finding the "bytes free" string in
int bfl = line.indexOf("bytes free");
You can probably cover a larger set of international versions (although probably not all)
just by keeping the last line with text and find its last continuous segment of digits.
- Then , the Unix version starts like this:
private static long getFreeSpaceUnix(String path) throws IOException {
// build and run the 'dir' command
String[] cmdAttrbs = new String[3];
cmdAttrbs[0] = "cmd.exe";
cmdAttrbs[1] = "/C";
cmdAttrbs[2] = "df " + path;I am no big Unix expert, but you rely on an "cmd.exe" on Unix?????
(A friend of mine that uses Linux quite often expressed some doubts about this too!)
I thought that on Unix "df" is an executable you can directly call! Since I am no Unix expert, could you please enlighten me.
Anyway, the code looks like a stab on the right direction.
Regards, Paulo Gaspar
