Add fs.statvfs function to get disk size/free/available space + other info #10745
Description
Activity
libuv would need to add such support first, then node would add an API that uses that libuv API.
From what I can tell, the modules you linked to only provide a subset of what
statvfs(). libuv would also require a Windows implementation. It looks like Python rejected a Windows implementation a while back (not sure if that has since changed).cc: @saghul
@miniak I use https://www.npmjs.com/package/storage-device-info, which only depends on NAN. Regardless though, it would be nice to have this built-in.
- I'm not opposed to it, proven that there is a reasonable implementation for all our supported platforms.…On Wed, Jan 11, 2017 at 10:11 PM, Colin Ihrig ***@***.***> wrote: From what I can tell, the modules you linked to only provide a subset of what statvfs(). libuv would also require a Windows implementation.

Given that this issue has been inactive for several months, is it sensible close this (or at least mark is at blocked) unless and until the necessary features are added to libuv?
I think this is still valid, regardless of people having have spent time on it.
https://github.com/jduncanator/node-diskusage now implements in C++, it also have a Windows implementation.

Reacted by Leon White, bkarlson, Mori, Daniel, Peter Pistorius, jeetuv and EagleLizardIs there any ETA for this? Stats does not show the size on disk, which is an issue because it reports file sizes of
<20Bon disks, when the actual minimum block size for files on a given disk may be~4096B, so disk calcs end up with significant mismatches- added a commit that references this issue
on Jan 29, 2023 For example, let's find out the free disk space as a percentage:
/* https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fspromisesstatfspath-options */ const fsp = require("node:fs/promises"); (async function (){ const { bfree, blocks } = await fsp.statfs(__dirname) const persent = bfree/blocks*100 console.log({persent}) })()
This issue can been closed for years. If you're experiencing an issue, please open a new issue in nodejs/help.

There is no build in way to get disk space information. There are a few npm modules available:
This is such a basic API that should be built-in.
