Well, there's nothing to stop you from using BSD level APIs from either of these from Cocoa or CF. However, for a Cocoa app, the following might be considered a better match.

1. prefix the BSD name with "/dev/"

2. get array of local volumes using -[NSWorkspace mountedLocalVolumePaths]

3. iterate array calling statfs on each, stopping when you get one
   f_mntfromname field matches the value from step 1
