2120.0. "Installing TL on large drives" by AIMTEC::LUCAS_A () Thu Apr 10 1997 19:25

    I have a customer that is attempting to install 2.7TL onto
    a 4G Novell server.  He is attempting a network installation.
    Once he has selected Network (Server) installation he gets
    an error that there is not have enough diskspace.
    
    Does Tl have problems reading large drive such as the 4G drive
    the customer is using?  If so, how small does he need to make the
    drive before TL can install successfully?
    
    Thanks
    AL

	Hi AL, Yes, there's a problem with installing TeamLinks on such disks. If I remember correctly you should have less than 1,9 Gb left on the disk. Regards, Martin
2120.2	PTR it?	TAMARA::CUMMINGS	Jerry Cummings, TeamLinks	`Tue Apr 15 1997 14:41`	4
	I don't recall if this is in our bug database. Could you please enter it? Maybe note 11? Jerry
2120.3	Microsoft Windows problem	UTRTSC::SMEETS	Workgroup support	`Wed Apr 16 1997 07:15`	25
	Hi Jerry, This is after my opinion not a TeamLinks problem. If I remember correctly there seems to be problem with the routine from the Microsoft Windows SDK which calculates the amount of diskspace. If the remaining diskspace > 1,99 Gb than this routine will return a negative number. or as can be seen on the Microsoft Technet CD in a other context Since Windows version 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 operate with MS-DOS, they are limited to a 16-bit FAT drive. The maximum cluster size for a 16-bit FAT drive is 64K, or 65,536 bytes (where 1K = 1024 bytes). In addition, the maximum cluster size in MS-DOS is 32K, or 32,768 bytes. Therefore, the maximum logical drive size in MS-DOS is calculated as follows: 32K x 64K = 2048 MB = 2 GB Although the maximum disk space that File Manager reports is 1.99 GB in Windows version 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups version 3.11, you can still access data stored on the FAT, HPFS, and NTFS drives larger than 2 GB. The above also applies to TeamLinks. Martin
