Oh, well...

I just uploaded my version for the Linux 'statfs' and 'getmntent' calls.
Might be OK for BSD, also?
It's modeled after the standard 'etc' extension.

  http://www.enteract.com/~mghall/ruby/filesystem-0.1.tgz

 	module FileSystem
        Filesystem.stat( directory )
        Filesystem.mounts( optional file name )
        Filesystem.mounts( optional file name ) { |mt| optional block }
        (the default 'mounts' filename is "/etc/mtab")
 
        Struct FSstat
        fs.path         given directory path
        fs.bsize        optimal transfer block size
        fs.blocks       total data blocks in file system
        fs.bfree        free blocks in file system

        fs.files        total file nodes in file system

        fs.fsname       name of file system type
        fs.namelen      maximum length of filenames

        Struct FSmount
        mt.fsname       file system (i.e. partition device) name
        mt.dir          mount point directory
        mt.type         file system type
        mt.options      mount options
