Yes, I checked the source code of switchDiskSizeBase, and as far as I
can see, the guy is using some low-level hack, like opening a system
framework binary, uncompress it, find some bytes at certain magic
offset, read and rewrite them. This kind of thing isn't acceptable for
my app, I'm looking for some legitimate ways, some public APIs.
