SYMPTOMS
You may receive the following error message when you try to convert a Stacker volume to a DoubleSpace volume:

DoubleSpace cannot convert your Stacker drives because they have a cluster size other than 8K. To convert your Stacker drives to DoubleSpace format, follow the instructions in the DoubleSpace section of the README.TXT file.



CAUSE
When you convert a Stacker volume to a DoubleSpace volume, your Stacker compressed volume file (CVF) must have 8K clusters. If it does not, you receive the error message.

When you install Stacker version 2.0 or 3.0, you have the option of using cluster sizes other than the 8K default.


 * Stacker 2.0 supports 4K and 8K clusters
 * Stacker 3.0 supports 4K, 8K, 16K, and 32K clusters

Since the conversion of a Stacker volume is done cluster by cluster, and DoubleSpace uses 8K clusters, DoubleSpace cannot convert Stacker volumes if they don't have 8K clusters.

NOTE: This error occurs regardless of the Stacker volume file cluster size if the Stacker volume file has never been mounted.
