Montoring disk usage on a Cluster Share Volume

I’ve installed a cluster W2008 R2.
How can I get the free space for a CSV (Cluster Share Volume) ?

If you share this resource over network then UNC test should work just fine. Isn't it?

Alex,
For w2008 the CSV appear as a folder on disk C.
Then if I share this folder the system show as free spaces the disk C freespaces.

According to Microsoft manuals it should work correctly in such case - Windows function GetDiskFreeSpaceEx should check free space for specified target path

We checked our code, its fine.

In the Cluster shared volume I have 2 LUNs (VMach1 and VMach2)
The only way I can retrieve the free spaces is running on powershell the command:

Get-WmiObject win32_volume | where-object {$_.Label -eq "VMach1"} | ft Label,FreeSpace

Than you may setup WMI test using query like select FreeSpace from Win32_Volume where Label='VMach1'
If you want to display MBytes instead of bytes in Reply field, you may mark "Tune up Reply value" option and use expression like [%SuggestedReply% div 1048576] or equivalent expression [%SuggestedReply% div 1024 div 1024]
