diskspace

How can I check if IOException is a "Not enough disk space" exception type? At the moment I check to see if the message matches something like "Not enough disk space", but I know that this won't work if the OS language is not English. Justin You need to check the HResult and test against ERROR_DISK_FULL (0x70) and ERROR_HANDLE_DISK_FULL (0x27) , which can be converted to HResults by OR 'ing with 0x80070000 . For .Net Framework 4.5 and above, you can use the Exception.HResult property: static bool IsDiskFull(Exception ex) { const int HR_ERROR_HANDLE_DISK_FULL = unchecked((int)0x80070027); const

The mongodb document says that To compact this space, run db.repairDatabase() from the mongo shell (note this operation will block and is slow). in http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Excessive+Disk+Space I wonder how to make the mongodb free deleted disk space automatically ? p.s. We stored many downloading task in mongodb, up to 20GB, and finished these in half an hour. In general if you don't need to shrink your datafiles you shouldn't shrink them at all. This is because "growing" your datafiles on disk is a fairly expensive operation and the more space that MongoDB can allocate in

I need a way to determine the space remaining on a disk volume using python on linux, Windows and OS X. I'm currently parsing the output of the various system calls (df, dir) to accomplish this - is there a better way? Frankovskyi Bogdan import ctypes import os import platform import sys def get_free_space_mb(dirname): """Return folder/drive free space (in megabytes).""" if platform.system() == 'Windows': free_bytes = ctypes.c_ulonglong(0) ctypes.windll.kernel32.GetDiskFreeSpaceExW(ctypes.c_wchar_p(dirname), None, None, ctypes.pointer(free_bytes)) return free_bytes.value / 1024 / 1024 else: st

Is it possible to get the amount of free memory on an Android device (not on the SD CARD) via the Android SDK? If so, how? mad this post might fit well to your question. also check this thread . there is so much info here on SO. googled a bit and here is the solution (found at android git ) File path = Environment.getDataDirectory(); StatFs stat = new StatFs(path.getPath()); long blockSize = stat.getBlockSize(); long availableBlocks = stat.getAvailableBlocks(); return Formatter.formatFileSize(this, availableBlocks * blockSize); /*****************************************************************

I'm using Python 2.6 on Linux. What is the fastest way: to determine which partition contains a given directory or file? For example, suppose that /dev/sda2 is mounted on /home , and /dev/mapper/foo is mounted on /home/foo . From the string "/home/foo/bar/baz" I would like to recover the pair ("/dev/mapper/foo", "home/foo") . and then, to get usage statistics of the given partition? For example, given /dev/mapper/foo I would like to obtain the size of the partition and the free space available (either in bytes or approximately in megabytes). If you just need the free space on a device, see the
