Hello, Why do you need the size?
In general, in Bacula we try to avoid doing system dependent stuff unless it is absolutely required. Things such as reading /sys or /proc are things we do not do because there is no definitive interface, so this can create severe support problems in the future. The above said, if there is some essential reason, we are open to discussing.
