OSHI: Get HWDiskStore for a given path

Question

I am using OSHI https://github.com/oshi/oshi to monitor the hardware.

There is a method

HWDiskStore[] getDisks();

https://github.com/o

Answer 1

The DiskStore is a hardware object (e.g., hard drive, SSD, etc.) which is part of the machinery, while the FileStore is a software object associated with the Operating System / File System.

OSHI's HWDiskStore objects have a getPartitions() method, which returns an array of HWPartition objects. These objects have a getMountPoint() method which should be a String corresponding to the OSFileStore mount point.

OSHI's OSFileStore objects correspond to the Java FileStore objects and have a getMount() method which should directly match the HWPartition mount point.

This demo class gives an example of how this information can be correlated.
