That would be more reliable than parsing the output of `fsutil volume` so worth trying. You might have to dig into which of these win32 works with quotas as that seems to be part of the issue. The JDK uses GetDiskFreeSpaceExW. Also this test might have to do a few iterations so that it captures free space info while the system is in quiescence - I suspect some of the reliability issues has been concurrent activity that changes the volume space usage significantly while this test is running.
