    Description

      I'm writing a custom fact that uses sys/filesystem to serialize the mount table:

      require 'sys/filesystem'
      include Sys
       
      Facter.add("mounts") do
      	setcode do
      		begin
      			hash = {}
      			Filesystem.mounts do |mount|
      				mount_hash = {};
      				mount_hash['name'] = mount.name;
      				mount_hash['type'] = mount.mount_type;
      				mount_hash['options'] = mount.options;
      				stat = Filesystem.stat(mount.mount_point);
      				mount_hash['block_size'] = stat.block_size;
      				mount_hash['blocks_available'] = stat.blocks_available;
      				mount_hash['blocks_free'] = stat.blocks_free;
      				mount_hash['blocks_used'] = mount_hash['blocks_available'] - mount_hash['blocks_free'];
      				
      				mount_hash['bytes_available'] = mount_hash['blocks_available'] * mount_hash['block_size'];
      				mount_hash['bytes_free'] = (mount_hash['blocks_free'] * mount_hash['block_size']).to_s;
      				mount_hash['bytes_used'] = (mount_hash['blocks_used'] * mount_hash['block_size']).to_s;
      				mount_hash['percent_used'] = mount_hash['blocks_used'].to_f / mount_hash['blocks_available'];
      				mount_hash['percent_free'] = mount_hash['blocks_free'].to_f / mount_hash['blocks_available'];
      				hash[mount.mount_point] = mount_hash;
      			end
      			hash
      		rescue
      			nil
      		end
      	end
      end
      

      On windows systems, however, the bytes_* variables are larger then a 32bit integer, and the fact returns invalid data:

      {
        C:\ => {
          name => "\Device\HarddiskVolume4",
          type => "NTFS",
          options => "casepres,casesens,compression,namedstreams,pacls,encryption,obj
      ds,rpoints,sparse,unicode",
          block_size => 4096,
          blocks_available => 62379263,
          blocks_free => 29046694,
          blocks_used => 33332569,
          bytes_available => ,
          bytes_free => "118975258624",
          bytes_used => "136530202624",
          percent_used => 0.534353,
          percent_free => 0.465647
        }
      }
      

      As you can see, bytes_available returns nothing, while bytes_free (which has been to_s''d) returns the proper values. The integers are BigNums as they should be, and using puts ruby returns the correct numbers in all cases.

      I couldn't reproduce this on rhel7 so I'm assuming it's a bug in the windows facter agent
