Gary D. Gregory closed IO-463.
------------------------------
    Resolution: Not A Problem

Closing since we have kept the code as is for quite a while and it is marked as deprecated anyway.

>                 Key: IO-463
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-463
>             Project: Commons IO
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>            Reporter: Sebb
>            Priority: Major
>
> Commons IO now requires Java 1.6, which has some useful new File methods:
> File.getFreeSpace() / getUsableSpace()
> These could be used to radically simplify (and speed up) the FileSystemUtils freeSpace methods, as well as making it OS-independent.
> The methods should be deprecated in favour of directly calling the File methods directly. Perhaps even deprecate the entire class?  - it only contains the freeSpace methods currently.
> Note: a lot of the tests will becorme redundant or need reworking.
