i noticed that 4.2 has reached "final" status and i am eager to get it installed - i hope to do so this weekend.  i just have a quick question regarding user shares.  lets say i set up a user share called movies and said to include disks 1, 2 and 3, (each is 500GB).  then when i am browsing my network places in windows is there an easy way to check to see how much free space is available in the Movies share (aside from going to the unraid web interface and adding up the free space from disks 1, 2 and 3?

 

i guess this is more of a windows question but still - is this possible? (if it matters i have vista ultimate)

for a test, I mapped one of my shares to a drive letter and checked the size of the disk. My tv_series share is on disks 2 and 4 (320gb and 250gb). However, the total disk space returned via Properties of the mapped drive is the ENTIRE unRAID array. I have the share setup with include disk2, disk4 so I would expect it to only return that total, but it does not.

ok well i geuss that is better than nothing.  i wish that vista would show free space when you navigate to a unc path like\\tower\videos\ just like it does when you map a drive.

 

oh well.

XP does the same way (which is what I use). server paths don't show any size, and with the new writable shares, if you map it, you get the entire size of the array.

We're working on a fix for this.
