Re: Not enough free space, disk full

Yes, the quota is applied on a partition basis, so if you have a quota on d: all file the user owns on d: count. Note that with SBS R2, you can install the File System Resource Manager, which works differently - quotas can be applied right down to the *folder* and *file type* level.

Can It have anything to do with ownership of files?

If a file has a different owner then the user that stores the file the limit applies on the owner of the file In that particular file.

Im not sure here but I also think that this quota limit not only applies to the share, It applies on that whole disk that has quota enabled.

In addition, since users' My Documents folders are redirected into the Users
Shared Folder by default while it applies the 1GB limit to these folders, I
think it is messing with the network shared folder which also resides in the
Users Shared Folder. I have compared settings with other SBS servers I manage
and cannot find a difference. How do I unapply/remove the 1GB limit on the
network shared folder created in the Users Shared Folder?

Thanx.

So, now on an entirely different client's new SBS 2003 server standard
install, I noticed that on users' computers, when you hover the pointer over
the mapped network sahre it displays a size of 1GB when it is supposed to be
a 500GB HDD mainly dedicated to User Shares. It seems the 1GB desktop
redirection limit is being applied to the whole of the network share and as a
user with 99% of used My Documents space tried to save a tiny file on the
network share today it simply told her the disk is full. When I looked at her
My Documents folder it was indeed full but she could not save in the shared
folder as it is telling her the disk is full. This is supposed to be the
network share on a 500GB HDD.

Any ideas?


Thanx.
