SD Card free space (Storage Space or Disk Space) remaining

[CyberPine Educational Media]

Any way to get SD Free Space remaining in Tasker?

Best way I know is run a shell script (Run Script -> Shell) with the command "df /SDcardPathHere".  For me, this would be "df /mnt/sdcard-ext" (no quotes).  Have the output returned to a variable of your choosing and then parse the results to get the number you want.

Use stat to get free space:

stat -ft /target/mountpoint

Column 5 is your blocksize, 7 is your free blocks. Multiply blocksize by free blocks to get free space in bytes.

Or if you're lazy...

stat -ft | cut -d' ' -f 7

Shove output into a variable, then multiply variable by 4096 (or whatever your blocksize is).

This stopped working with the latest busybox update because now the stat command doesn't support -t. Instead it has a -c to specify formatting. %B is block size and %c is free blocks.

How do I pass % to the shell command? Tasker is trying to interpret the %c and %B as variables. I tried %%c but that didn't help.

Passing just %c and %B to the shell works for me. How do you know tasker is trying to interpret it?

Because tasker displays an error when I try to run the task and doesn't actually execute it.
