Thanks, That does exactly what I want. Greg
This only works in Linux. I know little of Windows, unfortunately:
- --------cut---------- import os, stat
def getFSType(filename): """ Returns the fstype of the volume containg 'filename', which should be the full path to the file """ # Build dict of filesystems and use the device number as the key devices = {} f = open('/proc/mounts') for line in f.readlines(): info = line.split() devnum = os.stat(info[1])[stat.ST_DEV] devices[devnum] = info[2] f.close()
# Find out which one contains 'filename' and return the fstype return devices[os.stat(filename)[stat.ST_DEV]] - ------------cut---------
If you want to know more about how that works, check out the documentation for the 'stat' module.
