I'm using fileSystemAttributesAtPath:NSHomeDirectory() to get the

anyone
know why NSFileSystemSize is returning an incorrect value?
Isn't NSFileSystemSize supposed to say how much space the filesystem
has
*used*?
If that's the case, it should be returning 2103MB for my system.
Instead, it
returns 788MB.
I believe it's supposed to report the space taken by the tree starting
at the given path. You should get the answer of 2103MB if you called
fileSystemAttributesAtPath:@"/".
I would have thought that, too, but it still gives me 788MB. Are you
seeing
this problem on your system? Has anyone else seen this problem?
Is it possible that there's another consumer of space on this disk that
isn't accounted for? How much do your /tmp and /private/vm directories
account for? Maybe mmap()'d files are involved?
