Re: Not enough free space, disk full

Like I said, if you have SBS R2 then you can be more granular in the quota settings. Without R2, quotas are applied to the drive only. Otherwise, you can increase the quota, or disable the quota for one or all users.

Blue text generally indicates hidden and/or system files.

Thanx for the response. So, how then can one remove the quota from applying
to the whole disk or partition? I also noticed that when I look in My
Computer the the D: and E: text and stuff look blue instead of blask liek the
C: , what might this indicate?

Thanx.

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.
