I frequently get the error message:

"The volume for a file has been externally altered so that the opened file
is no longer valid'"

when using GetDiskFreeSpace in an app that interrogates the status of a
Storix 30gig external drive attached to the FireWire port on the server.
Rebooting the server always fixes the problem - but that is a poor solution
for me.  Getting no help at all from Storix (tech support does not exist!)
Don't know whether it is a FireWire or OS problem (using Win2K Server and
Win2K pro all with latest sps).

Any ideas?
