st_dev on stat() call

Hi,

I'm trying to write some code that will validate if we are trying to write to nfs and if so, complain. From what I've read, the stat() call populates the st_dev with value of the file system type. On an nfs mount it tells me that it's '14'. I'd prefer not to hardcode this value and is wondering if there is an enum somewhere or other way to get the list of possible values?

Thanks.

Never mind - looks like the system call I wanted was statfs()
