If so does it use > the same config file setting (storeSize) or something else? It uses storeSize. It guesstimates file space usage by using storeBlockSize, which is usually 4096 bytes. It does not try to calculate the space used by the directory, so you need to give it some leeway especially if your FS block size is in fact 4kB. > > thanks, > -- degs > > > > > -- degs > > > > > > On Thursday 26 September 2002 12:59, Matthew Toseland wrote: > > > > Hi. storeType=native has advanced to the point where wider testing > > > > would be useful.
