Incorrect SYS volume size in Win2000

[chaua001]

I have just setup netware 5.1 with sp4 and SYS Volume with 16gig. When I map a drive in Win2000 explorer the SYS volume is reported as 192kb when logged in as a normal user, but if I login as admin the mapping reports the correct volume size. Iam using client 4.83sp2, but this also happens with client 4.81 and microsoft netware client.

Can anyone help!!

Well, I would think that would be from the fact that the regular user does not and SHOULD not have very much rights to the sys volume.
The only default rights that every user gets is read\file scan on the public folder.
When you are logged in as the average user look and see what folders you can see.
Remember to treat the sys volume as the Windows directory on an MS machine. Do not put regular files in it, make another volume for that. And do NOT give everyone rights to the critical folders on the sys volume.

Sorry, I forgot to say the user has got admin rights and can see everything in the SYS volume.

Then it is the Windows Explorer incompatibility problem. I have seen this alot. Explorer does not report the space on the volumes correctly. Also, even though you can, I do not suggest using Explorer to add or remove rights. I have seen that not work at all or not work they way you intended.
