hi,
I am developing a JAVA application for Mac OS X. In this application i am using a native method and using a Mac OS API method PBHGetVInfo() method to get the information about the total number of blocks and block size.

int DiskTotal=0;
HParamBlockRec aRec;
aRec.volumeParam.ioVolIndex=0;
aRec.volumeParam.ioVRefNum=FoundRef;
aRec.volumeParam.ioNamePtr=NULL;
PBHGetVInfo(&aRec, FALSE);
int aNumOfBlocks=aRec.volumeParam.ioVNmAlBlks;
long aBlockSize=aRec.volumeParam.ioVAlBlkSiz;
DiskTotal=aNumOfBlocks*aBlockSize;

And i m getting successfully the NumOfBlocks and BlockSize. But the

problem is that every time i compile and run the program i get a new

value of NumOfBlocks and BlockSize. Why is this so..?

Can anybody help?
Thanx
Rachna

Well, Java runs in it's own virtual machine so perhaps the number of blocks and block size is a function of the state of the JVM at some time. BTW, block size should almost always return 4096k since that's the size of a block on an HFS volume and also the size of a page in memory.

Question: I thought that PBHGetVInfo was a C function. Did Apple port it to java?
