Well, it seems to inquire the info by filesystem specific means. The method is obviously named set_used_sectors(). See e.g. https://github.com/GNOME/gparted/blob/master/src/ext2.cc#L147 https://github.com/GNOME/gparted/blob/master/src/fat16.cc#L129 https://github.com/GNOME/gparted/blob/master/src/xfs.cc#L89 There are several source files from btrfs.cc to xfs.cc. One could harvest hints about which man pages to read in order to create some program which knows the inquiry commands for all filesystems which Gparted knows. (I dimly remember to have seen such inquiry/management program names in replies to this thread.) Have a nice day :) Thomas
