The most metrics are Linux specific (accessing the proc file system) which is okay since the project targets to monitor Linux machines. The Filesystem metrics use ffi which (may) work(s) on a Mac, too. However the current implementation mostly crashes (MacOS 10.12).

I found a simpler alternative to reach the goal: https://github.com/djberg96/sys-filesystem.

Using this would allow to run at least the FS metrics on a Mac for testing and also reduces the Filesystem implementation to a couple of lines.

N.B.: The suggested gem also uses ffi but obviously it is more stable.
