You would need an RTEMS specific method to be able to do this and I do 
not think one exists and I am not sure if it is possible. In POSIX an fd 
typically maps to an inode (see the stat st_ino field) and there could 
be more than one hard linked file name to that inode. This means an fd 
for a file could be referenced by more than one file name.

I know 4.11 has support for statvf but I am not sure if this has the 
file system space available. It has been a while since I looked at this 
and I cannot remember if there is a standard method of obtaining this. 
Maybe the BSD 'df' source may provide some pointers.
