This is a consolidation effort, avoiding usage
of naked strings in codebase. Whenever possible
use constants which can be repurposed elsewhere.
This also fixes `goconst ./...` reported issues.
Do not attempt to fetch volume/drive information for
each i/o situation. In our case we do this in all calls
`posix.go` this in-turn created a terrible situation for
windows. This issue does not affect the i/o path on Unix
platforms since statvfs calls are in the range of micro
seconds on these platforms.
This verification is only needed during startup and we
let things fail at a later stage on windows.
