Subject: [sftalk] free space on a volume

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 -

-- Roger
