Can you help?
I'm running Novell 4.1 with two physical HDDs each as a volume. sys:
and vol1:.... The vol1: is IDE/400MB/250MB free space/....

A physical netware volume is being reported as having unreasonablly
LOW directory space available. At one point the drive would not allow
a file unerase to take place anywhere on the HDD. The volume
statistics appear way off.

vol1: statistics showed 99% full?, total = 254464, and avail.= 935
      ***** the statistics above were reported through nwadmin-
-vol1:-details--statistics. I suppose the statistics pie chart
indicating 99% means % full.

Has symptoms of the following:
Initially I was getting insufficient memory messages when trying to
copy or rename a file on the vol1:. If I removed a file, I could then
add a file. ***Very much to do with "file unerase". I removed some
data from the vol1: and it had allowed more directory entries to be
added, but limited.

 With all data removed from the vol1: the statistics still showed the
above 99% figures; maybe due to refresh ?? but there was nothing there
to purge. I put the same data on the sys: volume and the sys:
directories statistics were 62%, total=15872, avail=6262. Hummm....

I deleted and recreated vol1: and restored the data to the vol1: and
the directories statistics were 82%, total=3840, avail=678.

**I've been able to add data to the vol1: but the %%% percentage is
increasing. Current stats. are 93%, total=13312, avail=862.

Do you have a constructive comment or suggestion?
Thanks in advance....
