VOLINFO Utility from Novell Server Reports Incorrect Values

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

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.
