Probably a dumb question, but why did you use and statfs() instead of the POSIX and statvfs()? Were they not present on some of the target systems?

I would like to include the functionality in Boost.Filesystem, but am concerned because POSIX lists it as optional.

I started with our legacy HP implementation as a reference and didn't need to change it for linux, so I didn't even notice that there was a different header. :-) I'd be fairly surprised if a platform supported by Filesystem didn't have a way to determine disk space. Well, I guess not all that surprised. Murphy's always waitin'.
