fileSize without blocking server?

[whit537]

Is there a way to compute the true size of a MongoDB database on disk using server APIs without blocking the server for 15 minutes by calling dbstats?

I don't think so. You can, however, use simple linux commands (du -ch
filepattern) to find the size of data files for a db on the disk.

Bummer. :-(

I'm specifically looking for a server API. My use case is adding disk 

usage statistics to the Mongs db browser:

Mongs is designed to attach to arbitrary MongoDB servers, but can't 

at all assume that it has shell access on the underlying host. That's

why I can't use OS filesystem tools here.

Hostinfo is being added for the next release so you can get more system/host info. Disks are not in there but you could add a feature req for that in jira.
