SUMMARY
When you are connected to an AS/400 shared folders drive using the SNA Server Shared Folders Gateway, a DIR command may show 2 terabytes of free disk space. For example:    E:\>dir Volume in drive E is RAINIER Volume Serial Number is 1234-5678

Directory of E:   08/16/96  11:57a             5,765,232 MSDEBUG.DDM 1 File(s)     5,765,232 bytes 2,199,019,441,152 bytes free



CAUSE
The Shared Folders Gateway is configured to run under a specific AS/400 user account. If this AS/400 user account has no disk space limitations on the AS/400, then the AS/400 returns the maximum disk size that it supports, which is 2 Terabytes (TB). In order for a more meaningful number to be displayed, the user account must be limited to a specific disk quota on the AS/400. The shared folders gateway is returning the correct value to the DIR command as returned by the AS/400.
