Included a patch that will add support for a "df" method to the "mount" minion module. It does what its name suggests :D

Return data is a dict: { 'mountpoint': [total_space, free_space, device, fs_type] }

I found out the hard way that XML-RPC doesn't like integers bigger than 32bit, so the space is reported in 1KiB units. This gives us a maximum fs size of 4TiB, which is rather small.

I'm unaware of that problem.   Interesting.  Perhaps you should use floats.

I never used XML-RPC directly nor touched func's implementation, but I suspect there's a way to use 64bit values. At least it's there in the C library xmlrpc-c, which I found out using it with rtorrent :D

vm1 ~ # func vm2 call mount df
{'vm2': {'/': [8256952, 6511760, '/dev/root', 'ext3'],
         '/dev': [10240, 10188, 'udev', 'tmpfs'],
         '/dev/shm': [262200, 262200, 'shm', 'tmpfs']}}

PS, anyone knows why I get single characters if I do "for line in openedfile.readline()" ?
I had to use file.readlines() [notice the last 's'].

readline returns a string, which is iterable. A for loop on a string iterates through the characters in the string.

What you are asking is closer to:

while True:
   x = f.readline()
   if not x:
       break
   ...

Though unless you are dealing with very large files there's not much reason to do this, and reading things entirely into memory is sufficient.

That all being said, Func modules should not be parsing shell commands unless it's a last resort, when it's possible to get data through other libraries, they should use those libraries, and when they can use proc, they should. Parsing shell commands can be rather fragile.
