Hi Luc,

I use the value of f_fstypename in the statfs struct to determine volume format for an app that I wrote that only targeted Xsan volumes.

What specific information are you looking for?

Cheers, Joannou.

Hi,

I've been looking for a way to get information about volumes (removable, CD, FW, iPod, HD, etc.). So far I've been using getFileSystemInfoForPath and statfs but unless I'm not using the correctly, I don't really get any information about what I'm looking for.

Here's the code I'm using:

while (file = [enumerator nextObject])
{
NSString* strFile = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%s%s", "/Volumes/", [file cString]];


[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] getFileSystemInfoForPath:strFile isRemovable:&bIsRemovable isWritable:&bIsWritable isUnmountable:&bIsUnmountable description:&strDesc type:&strType];
[enumerator skipDescendents];


struct statfs b;


statfs( [strFile cString], &b );


NSDictionary* dir = [enumerator directoryAttributes];

[self addVolume:file icon:@"VOL"];
}


First, strDesc and strType are always null. Is there anything helpful in the statfs struct that could help me find the information I'm looking for?

Thanks!
