You are right, and the answer to this simple problem is to check the
result of objDrive's IsReady method, but I was talking about the
question behind the question: can we determine disk free space in Ruby?

As I said, I think it would be very handy to have a cross-platform way
of checking disk free space from Ruby. The most useful thing to me seems
a function that takes a path and returns the number of bytes available
there, so that's what I posted. I tested it on a couple of Linuxes with
different "df"s, so I'm not confident my solution will work across posix
platforms.

Cheers,
Dave
