Sorry. Those numbers are off. I got real irritated at windows popping up the "your disk is nearly full" messages whenever the cache got full. (I used to report the cache size and cache used numbers for the volume size.) I couldn't find a way to convince Windows to ignore the fact that the disk looked full. So the way I did it was to produce weird numbers. In the next beta I'll try to produce numbers closer to the cache size. I may report the capacity as twice the size of the cache and the use as the usage of the cache. That way a full cache looks to windows that it still has a half empty disk and doesn't start popping up those annoying "please delete some files on this disk" windows. --Phil -- Phil Nelson NetBSD: http://www.NetBSD.org e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Coda: http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu http://www.cs.wwu.edu/nelson
