diskspace.js 2.0.0

This is a simple module for Node.js to check disk space usage in bytes on both *nix and Windows systems.

If you are using on Windows, This also depends on a console application for Windows called DriveSpace written in C# and requires .NET Framework 3.5 when using this on a Windows system. This is included in the NPM package, but you can look at the DriveSpace code also if you wish.

If your on a *nix system, drivespace.exe is not used and df command is used.

Setup

To set up diskspace.js on your Node.js server use npm.

npm install diskspace

Example Usage

``
var diskspace = require('diskspace');
diskspace.check('C', function (err, result)
{
Your code here
});
`
On Windows you change C to the drive letter you want to check. On Linux you use the mount path eg /.

The result of the diskspace check is returned as an object named result.

* result.total is how much the drive has totally.
result.used is how much of the drive is reported as used. On nix this is straight from the df -k command, on Windows it's calculated from result.total - result.free
* result.free is how much free space you have.
* result.status` isn't really that useful unless you want to debug.

Status codes:

- NOTFOUND - Disk was not found, the space values will be 0
- READY - The drive is ready
- NOTREADY - The drive isn't ready, the space values will be 0
- STDERR - some error, the output of it was logged to the console.

Other Notes

This will fail on hard drives bigger than 9 petabytes. Thanks @SteveStreza [[1]](https://twitter.com/#!/SteveStreza/status/197939419842482176) [[2]](https://twitter.com/#!/SteveStreza/status/197939715993907200)
