Definitely strange. What are the file sizes? I have <1,000 and total over
2.3 GB of space. Can you open the files? Try and copy them to a USB stick
and see what shows.

Subject: [NTSysADM] Size on Disk HUGE discrepancy

 

Hi all,

this may seem trivial ,however, this particular situation has me concerned;

We have a photo archive that's been around for about 15 years- it started on
a 2k server, moved to a 2003,2008 and now its on a 2012r2 server.

I know the norm is that the "size on disk" would be a bit bigger than "size"
due to file system, cluster size etc..
but in this case its the reverse, and by A LOT, and NO, compression is not
enabled

The directory 112 Gb, and contains 20,029 files and 414 folders, now size on
disk only reports 26.3 MB (27,607,040 bytes) thats MEGS, NOT GIGS

Is this something to be alarmed with?
