Dante,

The NetWare for Macintosh 3.12 and 4.x "lie" to the Macs and report a maximum 
of 1GB of available space because the Mac OS versions below 7.5 cannot have 
partitions greater than ~ 2GB. They use a signed integer to calculate free 
space, and volumes over the limit report negative size. There is nothing wrong 
with your configuration.
