There's another package (statvfs) on hackage that does something similar, although it's not portable. To my surprise, both of these import statvfs as unsafe, which (for a C function that results in a syscall is surprising), so I filled https://github.com/redneb/disk-free-space/issues/1. Curious: if your code is already portable, why not split that out if it already works in the real world? thanks! iustin
