Hi Eric, I experienced that it is not possible to fill the disk completly. If I had 1000MB free space, i'll be able to fill it j.l. to 981MB. Even there is some space left, if i try to make the file 985MB, it said that it is not possible. Don't ask me why.... Most of the times i need to keep 20-25 MB free.
And like Arnaud said: Don't forget the Large File parameter, otherwise, you must create 18 files of 2GB....
