Fwd: os.statvfs bug or my incompetence ?

2011-10-14 Thread Peter G. Marczis

  
  
 Hi list,
I'm happy to join to this nice mail list. At my company we use
python to handle system administration tasks.
I found the next problem during my work:

test.py:
# cat test.py 
  #!/usr/bin/python
  
  import os
  os.statvfs('/')

result:
# python -m trace -t test.py 
   --- modulename: threading, funcname: settrace
  threading.py(90): _trace_hook = func
   --- modulename: trace, funcname: 
  (1):   --- modulename: trace, funcname:
  
  test.py(3): import os
  test.py(6): os.statvfs('/')
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/runpy.py", line 122, in
  _run_module_as_main
      "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name)
    File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/runpy.py", line 34, in _run_code
      exec code in run_globals
    File "/mnt/sysimg/usr/lib64/python2.6/trace.py", line 813, in
  
      main()
    File "/mnt/sysimg/usr/lib64/python2.6/trace.py", line 801, in
  main
      t.run('execfile(%r)' % (progname,))
    File "/mnt/sysimg/usr/lib64/python2.6/trace.py", line 498, in
  run
      exec cmd in dict, dict
    File "", line 1, in 
    File "test.py", line 6, in 
      os.statvfs('/')
  OSError: [Errno 0] Error: '/'

# python --version
Python 2.6.2

# arch
mips64

os.stat works fine.

I would be very happy with any kind of help. I don't have any idea
why this one fails. 
Thanks in advance.
Br,
    Peter.

Hello Peter,

Welcome to the list.

Have you tried calling statvfs from a C program?  What happens if you do?

Best regards,

Kev
