Find the directory for a FileStore

Question

I\'m trying to find a way to detect when a flash drive has been plugged into my computer. So far, the solution I found was to poll FileSystem#getFileStores for changes. This

Answer 1

This works for Windows:

    public Path getFileStoreRootPath(FileStore fs) throws Exception {
    for (Path root : FileSystems.getDefault().getRootDirectories()) {
        if (Files.isDirectory(root) && Files.getFileStore(root).equals(fs)) {
            return root;
        }
    }

    throw new RuntimeException("Root directory for filestore " + fs + " not found");
}

Basically, by filtering by condition Files.isDirectory(root) we are excluding all CD/DVD drives which will throw IOException when compact-disc is not inserted.
