According to the sources for the FAT filesystem driver (which you can get
from <http://opensource.apple.com>), you can look at
f_fssubtype in the statfs structure, which you can retrieve using statfs() or
similar.  See man 2 statfs.
This isn't exactly a Cocoa question, BTW... you should probably have asked
on darwin-dev or one of the other lists.

Thanks for the hint, I will definitely look into statfs and its structure. When posting the question I wasn't aware that it's not
related to Cocoa: I assumed that I may have missed the right framework / class
/ method ... Sorry!

No, I was in the wrong here.  I read back through your e-mail; the *answer*
has nothing to do with Cocoa, but you were asking about a Cocoa class.  You
would have needed to know that the issue wasn't Cocoa-related in order to be
able to tell.  My apologies.

Another suggestion: ask filesystem questions on the filesystem-dev list (<http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/filesystem-dev>). The people on this list are filesystem geniuses, but some have publicly admitted that they can't keep up with Cocoa-dev -- for which I sympathize.
