I need to get the free available disk space for all disks in system, or all partitions, I don't mind that. (I dont have to use Sigar, but I am using it already on the project for some other processes, so I can use it for this as well) I am using Sigar API and got this
public double getFreeHdd() throws SigarException{
FileSystemUsage f= sigar.getFileSystemUsage("/");
return ( f.getAvail());
}
But this only gives me the system partition (root), how can i get a list of all partition and loop them to get their free space? I tried this
FileSystemView fsv = FileSystemView.getFileSystemView();
File[] roots = fsv.getRoots();
for (int i = 0; i < roots.length; i++) {
System.out.println("Root: " + roots[i]);
}
But it only returns the root dir
Root: /
Thanks
Edit
it seems that I could use
FileSystem[] fslist = sigar.getFileSystemList();
But the results i am getting do not match the ones i get from the terminal. On the other hand on this system I am working on, i have 3 disks with a total 12 partitions, so i might be loosing something there. Will try it on some other system in case i can make something useful out of the results.
You can use java.nio.file.FileSystems
to get a list of java.nio.file.FileStorages
and then see the usable/available space. Per instance (assuming that you are using Java 7+):
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.FileStore;
import java.nio.file.FileSystem;
import java.nio.file.FileSystems;
import java.util.function.Consumer;
public static void main(String[] args) {
FileSystem fs = FileSystems.getDefault();
fs.getFileStores().forEach(new Consumer<FileStore>() {
@Override
public void accept(FileStore store) {
try {
System.out.println(store.getTotalSpace());
System.out.println(store.getUsableSpace());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
Also, keep in mind that FileStore.getUsableSpace()
returns the size in bytes. See the docs for more information.
