In this section we will be showing a java source code to check disk space on a specified partition. Both the total disk space available and total disk space will be shown on this source code. The idea is to check the disk space using the File class. The abstract filename declared on the File constructor will be the basis of what is the partition to be checked.
package com.teknoscope.tutorial;
import java.io.File;
public class GetDiskSpace {

public static void main(String[] args) {
File f = new File("C:\\");
System.out.println("Printing the total space");
System.out.println(f.getTotalSpace() +" bytes");
System.out.println(f.getTotalSpace()/1000.00 +" Kilobytes");
System.out.println(f.getTotalSpace()/1000000.00 +" Megabytes");
System.out.println(f.getTotalSpace()/1000000000.00 +" Gigabytes");
System.out.println("----------------------------");
System.out.println("Printing the free space");
System.out.println(f.getFreeSpace() +" bytes");
System.out.println(f.getFreeSpace()/1000.00 +" Kilobytes");
System.out.println(f.getFreeSpace()/1000000.00 +" Megabytes");
System.out.println(f.getFreeSpace()/1000000000.00 +" Gigabytes");
}
}
Running the source code above on my machine produces the following output:
Printing the total space 320070479872 bytes 3.20070479872E8 Kilobytes 320070.479872 Megabytes 320.070479872 Gigabytes ---------------------------- Printing the free space 271363801088 bytes 2.71363801088E8 Kilobytes 271363.801088 Megabytes 271.363801088 Gigabytes
