I found a ruby version of df a long time ago. It did a syscall(99), so 
if this syscall is a standard POSIX one then the script should work on 
all posix compliant os-es
The relevant part:
      size = 64
      unpack_fmt = 'iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'
      foo = ' ' * size
      syscall(99, hd[1], foo)
      type, @bsize, @blocks, @bfree, @bavail, @files, @ffree, 
tmp,tmp,@namelen = foo.unpack(unpack_fmt)
      usage=100*(@blocks-@bfree)/@blocks
