check out the statfs system function,

"statfs  returns  information  about a mounted file system.
  path is the path name  of  any  file  within  the  mounted
  filesystem.   buf  is  a  pointer  to  a  statfs structure
  defined as follows:"

The man page on a Linux system (or try the web) gives details.
You'll probably have to write a small bit of C code.
