not sure there is other than using OS reporting means
but I would have to ask what the file size means to anyone - especially when
it could be just after a restore
or just after a big insert session, or after a big deletion session -
filesize in each of these instances will be meaningless.
Or is it so you can warn users if the disk is reaching it's capacity?
