I'm afraid statfs() and fstatfs() are less > portable, maybe. Sure. My point is simply not to name the Ruby module after the system call as is differs from system to system. Even though statvfs is in the Unix spec, the call doesn't (currently) exist on the BSDs. I think "Fs" or something like that is more generic and intuitive. Also, you may want to add non-unix support eventually as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Jim Hranicky, Senior SysAdmin UF/CISE Department | | E314D CSE Building Phone (352) 392-1499 | | jfh@cise.ufl.edu http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~jfh | ----------------------------------------------------------------------
