free space on a volume

Content-Type: text/plain;
        charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
I need to be able to get the amount of free space remaining on a volume so
that we do not write a file onto a volume that has insufficient space left -
one approach would be to try writing and see if we get an error - not very
elegant - the other approach would be to check the free space remaining and
compare to the file size BEFORE we even start writing. has anyone seen a way
to get the volume free space information?

Thanks -
