SYMPTOMS
========
Performance Monitor reports the percent of free disk space incorrectly when used
on a system with a different number of physical disks than the system where the
workspace was originally created.
Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
1. Go to a machine with one physical disk.
2. Using Performance Monitor, create a workspace in the alert log.
3. Add the counter %freespace to that log and make it <20% for drive 'C',
parent '0'.
4. Save the workspace.
5. Load the saved workspace in Performance Monitor on a system with two or more
physical drives.
The % of disk space is reported as 0% instead of the correct value and the parent
physical disk is reported as '--' instead of '0'. Performance monitor continues
to generate event log entries at the specified interval reporting disk space at
0%.
CAUSE
=====
Performance monitor does not correctly translate workspace settings for disk
space between two machines with a different number of physical disks.
WORKAROUND
==========
Create the workspace on each machine that has a different number of physical
disks. Performance monitor will then report correct percent of free disk space
for that system.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
