Error Copying Files with Interlnk on Stacker Volume (94383)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.0
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.2
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.22
This article was previously published under Q94383 SUMMARY
This information applies to both Microsoft DoubleSpace and Microsoft
DriveSpace. For MS-DOS 6.22, use DRVSPACE in place of DBLSPACE for commands
and filenames.
Using Interlnk's INTERSVR command on a volume that has been compressed
using Stacker version 2.0 may fail if INTERSVR incorrectly calculates
the amount of free disk space. If this is the case and you attempt to
copy a file to the compressed volume, you will receive the following
error message:
Error writing drive <drive>:
MORE INFORMATION
When you run INTERSVR on a compressed Stacker volume, Interlnk may
incorrectly calculate the amount of free disk space on the server
machine. Although the DIR command (when issued locally) may report
little or no free disk space, the DIR command issued through Interlnk
may report several megabytes of free disk space.
This may potentially cause data corruption, but a reproducible case
hasn't been found.
This problem occurs with Stacker; this problem does not occur with
Microsoft DoubleSpace.
Stacker is manufactured by STAC Electronics, a vendor independent
of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding
this product's performance or reliability.
