https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=660911#c0 Summary: System.IO.DriveInfo(string) should not require an exact match Classification: Mono Product: Mono: Class Libraries Version: SVN Platform: Other OS/Version: Windows Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: CORLIB AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected] QAContact: [email protected] Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=405899) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=405899) test case User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101206 Ubuntu/10.10 (maverick) Firefox/3.6.13 On MS .NET, there are several valid ways to call the DriveInfo constructor. One can use a single upper or lower case letter, a letter followed by a colon, or a full absolute path. Currently, Mono's DriveInfo constructor requires the given string to exactly match the path of a drive. This is too strict on Windows. As it happens, this ability to supply a full path means that one can call DriveInfo to find out how much disk space is free in any directory, on .NET for Windows. If this is considered a valid use of DriveInfo and not abuse (and it may very well be abuse), we should figure out the appropriate mount point on Unix systems as well. Reproducible: Always The attached program will call DriveInfo with the given strings and print the results. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
