I'm working on an installer that also needs to find out this information.
IBM Alphaworks has an Install Toolkit for Java that includes some classes
for doing this sort of thing. For UNIX/Linux they just call df and parse
the output. Sure, it's an ugly solution, but if it works and saves you
from writing some irritating parsing code...
If you find out or invent a better way (perhaps via JNI, as you
originally suggested?), and you are able to release the source, I would be
most grateful to see it! :)
Cheers,
dstn.
