> In FileSystemutils.freeSpaceWindows(String path,long timeout) , path cannot be null. In this function for following assignment
>           path = FilenameUtils.normalize(path,bool), path is assigned null value when 
>           (1) path argument is null.
>           (2) path argument is illegal/invalid path as per windows system.
> {code:java}
> public class FileSystemutilTest {
> 	public static void main(String args[]){
> 		FileSystemUtils fsuobj = new FileSystemUtils();
>                 String path = ":\\Users\\nikhil\\Desktop\\tests";  /* Invalid path, causes Nullpointer Exception*/
> 		try {
> 			long space = fsuobj.freeSpace(path);
> 		} catch (IOException e) {
> 			e.printStackTrace();
> 		}
> 	}
> }
> {code}
> For above test case, as path is illegal for windows system, Nullpointer exception occurs. A check for validity of path as per windows file system, will resolve this bug.
