PHP - Determine File System Type

[MartinK]

Hi,

Is there a PHP way of determining filesystem type like xfs, ext4, etc. without additional (non-standard) PHP modules or libraries? Access to the command line is forbidden for security reasons.

Thank you in advance for your help.

On Linux you could try parsing /proc/mounts but otherwise I don't think so.

This might work for you.

No. 

 

If it's linux you can do something like this with mount:

<?php

exec('mount', $output, $result);

if ($result == 0) {
  echo "<pre>";
  var_dump($output);
  echo "</pre>";
} else {
  echo "Failed with result: $result<br>";
}

 

If that works, I leave the parsing of filesystem from the output to you.  You'd also have to determine which filesystem is relevant perhaps using getcwd or realpath(__FILE__)
