In this weekend I've been trying to move data from my old NW-3.12 server
to a new one. I'm not finished yes.

But under the copy ( Arcserve ) I notited that when copying from
sys:mail to the new sys:mail
( about 2000 users everyone with a deep win95 user profile structure ),
the copy ended premature and
claims thatr there either was a lack of diskspace or directory space.

I'd found that the "set maximum percent of volume used by directory was
13 %  ( default ? ) .

I've changed that parameeter to 50% to make sure that there should be
room.
( Unfortunately I didn't find whether it worked, because the server
abend'ed for other reasons ).

When I then booted both the servers wiht the 50 % option, I started a
copy of a user volume with
about 10 GB of data to the new volume which was 20GB after about 2 hours
the copy stopped
with the same explanation.

Is there perhaps any Gurus out there who could explain the exsact
meeniung of the parameters and what consequences it could have.

Also I'm wondering whether the 50 % is the percent of the total volume
or of the amount of space actually being used.

Also I wondered whether anyone sholud have a formula or something like
that of what the amount of diskspace is
for the directory itself ( 4K blocks ).

I'm rather desperate due the fact that the new server still isnt working
, and I'd only got about 4 hours of sleep for the last 3 days.
