dont know why it is doing it unless you maybe have a massive amount of deleted files and the admin tool is screwing up when reading them - you could try loading toolbox.nlm on the console (available from novells support site) and doing purge /ALL this will purge all the files - you can also purge by date or by volume with this utility.

hi chumpster -
Had the same thing a while back. Actually I took a screen shot and emailed it our senior engineer (cause he didn't believe me).
I found out a few things. First off, 99.6% of the time, this is only cosmetic - and is not reporting properly (as you can see). Secondly, will only show this way under:
Explorer --> R Click VOL for properties -->
From the properties area, however, you may be able to click NETWARE INFO tab ---> CHANGE ---> and place a checkmark under NO RESTRICTION.
For us, I moved my swap file from SYS to VOL and updated to sp2. This seemed to have resolved our issue.
Good Luck

Thanks Guys appreciate the input and will try your recommendations.... Just for the record, I added another 18.2 GB disk at the weekend to extend the VOL1 NSS pool. Although Netware has recognised the new increase in disk space the disk space used has gone down not up. Which my bank account had the same Characteristics.....! Thanks again Charlie.
