Stuff like mount points is Unix-specific, so have a dig around inside 
the POSIX library. (System.Posix.Files looks promising...)

Finding the total free space on a filesystem is something that ought to 
be possible in a portable way though, and I don't see anything in the 
standard libraries for doing this.
