SUMMARY
=======

When you are connected to an AS/400 shared folders drive using the SNA Server
Shared Folders Gateway, a DIR command may show 2 terabytes of free disk space.
For example:

   E:\>dir
   Volume in drive E is RAINIER
   Volume Serial Number is 1234-5678

   Directory of E:
   08/16/96  11:57a             5,765,232 MSDEBUG.DDM
                 1 File(s)      5,765,232 bytes
                         2,199,019,441,152 bytes free

CAUSE
=====

The Shared Folders Gateway is configured to run under a specific AS/400 user
account. If this AS/400 user account has no disk space limitations on the
AS/400, then the AS/400 returns the maximum disk size that it supports, which is
2 Terabytes (TB). In order for a more meaningful number to be displayed, the
user account must be limited to a specific disk quota on the AS/400. The shared
folders gateway is returning the correct value to the DIR command as returned by
the AS/400.
