Hi all,
I am trying to port my (linux) program to MacOSX, and I need to get a
list of mounted filesystems. Under linux, it was easy, I was parsing
/etc/mtab (or /proc/mounts), this works also on some other unices.
But I have no idea how to do it on MacOSX, apart from calling "mount" as
an external program and parsing the output - but I prefer "cleaner"
solutions. Is there one?

And when we are at this, how to find out a list of mounted filesystems
under MS Windows? (yes, I know, there is a difference between cygwin
python and native port, and the term "mounted" is not used in MS Windows
world much)
