[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-34?page=all ]
Stephen Colebourne updated IO-34:
---------------------------------
Bugzilla Id: (was: 38574)
Fix Version: 1.2 Final
Version: 1.1 Final
(was: 1.1.0)
> [io] FileSystemUtils returns incorrect free space on Linux
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IO-34
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-34
> Project: Commons IO
> Type: Bug
> Versions: 1.1 Final
> Environment: Operating System: Linux
> Platform: Other
> Reporter: Niall Gallagher
> Fix For: 1.2 Final
>
> Re: Commons-IO class FileSystemUtils
> The method freeSpace(String path) returns free disk space in bytes on Windows,
> and returns free disk space in kilobytes (not bytes) on Linux (possibly Unix /
> Mac OS etc. also).
> The internal method freeSpaceUnix javadoc reads "Find free space on the *nix
> platform using the 'df' command." The value returned by df is read in to a
> variable called bytes and returned. Man pages for df on Linux (Fedora Core 4)
> read "Disk space is shown in 1K blocks by default". So method
> freeSpaceUnix is returning the number of kilobytes free space, not bytes.
> A simple fix could be to add line "bytes = bytes * 1024;" after bytes are read in.
> The javadocs for this class could be improved also. Comment "@return the amount
> of free drive space on the volume" could read "@return the amount of free drive
> space on the volume in bytes".
