Hi, I am writing a C application that would store files in a directory. Before it starts storing files, I would like the application to check is there is enough space in the file system. How to: 1) knowing the name of the directory, how toknow the file system it belongs to (not considering symbolic links, I can decide that the directory is always a real path); 2) knowing the file system from 1), how to check the remaining space in the file system? Thanks in advance, olivier
