I'm working on a network that we installed 2003 server. It has three physical raid drives. c: is 2 mirrored 36 gigs, D: is 2 mirrored 36 gigs, and E: is a 4 drive, raid 5, totalling 203 gig. All of the drives are setup as basic, not dynamic.
On the workstations hooking up to the server, when you view the drive details in My Computer, a shared folder/mapped drive on either of the 36 gig mirrors, it shows the proper drive size and free space. Looking at the 203 gig partition, the details are shown as a 1.0 gig drive with 0.00 free on all of the workstations. The workstations are either XP SP2 or Win2k SP4. There were some 98 systems that did the same thing before they were replaced. I can browse the folders on the drive and launch most applications. However, there is a new application that somehow looks at that drive and says there is no room, and it won't run.
So we are apparently running into some sort of size limitation on viewing network drives. Does anyone know what the size viewing or network drive size limitation is, and how do you fix it.
