VOLINFO Utility from Novell Server Reports Incorrect Values (124804)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q124804 SUMMARY
If you use the VOLINFO utility from a Novell NetWare 3.12 server to view
information on a Windows 95 system configured with file and printer sharing
for NetWare Networks, the Free Directories entry is incorrect. VOLINFO
states that 32,767 directory entries are allocated to the volume. It also
states that the number of free directory entries is 32,767.
MORE INFORMATION
Available Directory Entries and Total Directory Entries are fields that
have meaning on actual Novell NetWare servers (the space for directory
names is preallocated when the volume is formatted), but they do not have
meaning on Windows 95 (VFAT or CDFS) volumes. To provide compatibility with
applications that check to see if space is available to create new
directories, Windows 95 returns the maximum allowable value for these
fields, 32,767.
