Get block count of device

Question

the following code works in intel machine but in powerpc .
In PowerPC,after executing "ioctl(fd, DKIOCGETBLOCKCOUNT, &nCount); " ,nCount remains zero but the nSize gets the block count.
int nCount = 0;
int nSize = 0;
int fd = open("/dev/rdisk1s1",O_WRONLY);
if(fd != -1)
printf("Open Success \n");
else
printf("Open Fail %d\n",errno);
ioctl(fd, DKIOCGETBLOCKSIZE, &nSize);
printf("DKIOCGETBLOCKSIZE %d\n",nSize);
ioctl(fd, DKIOCGETBLOCKCOUNT, &nCount);
//nCount = nSize;
printf("DKIOCGETBLOCKCOUNT %d\n",nCount);
close(fd);
Can anyone help me with this?
Do i need to change some build settings?
