If (1) You only need this functionality on Unix systems, and (2) the
disk you care about is located in /etc/fstab (so that getfsfile(3) can
find it), then you can use Mono.Unix.UnixDriveInfo in Mono.Posix.dll.

        Mono.Unix.UnixDriveInfo info = new UnixDriveInfo ("/");
        Console.WriteLine (" Disk Size: " + info.TotalSize);
        Console.WriteLine ("Free Space: " + info.AvailableFreeSpace);
