Stacker does not allocate its space on the fly.  The 41 Meg was
pre-allocated when you created the Stacker drive, and it will never
change unless you use SDEFRAG /G to change it.

SCHECK should show you exactly what's going on.  It tells you how much
actual space is used in the Stacker volume, as well as how much is free,
and how this translates to space within the virtual Stacker drive.

Not ALL of the 41 Meg on your D drive is being used by Stacker.
