Nothing salvageable, why not?

[schnell]

I am fairly new to Novell, and the old admin showed me the salvage files option. But I have tested it and nothing ever shows recoverable. Plus in AdRem, it shows 2,097,068MB in the salvage, when we don't have that much drive space total! Is there something wrong?

Thanks,

Jason

Maybe I answered my own question, but can someone confirm? I am guessing that I have less than the hard coded 10% (I've also read 20%) free space limit where NetWare auto purges. Is that it maybe, and AdRem is mistakenly reporting the salvageable size?

cant remeber the exact figure needed it's around 10 but not sure

as i general rule i dont like less than 30%

no idea about adrem as i've never used it - i prefer to use native tools
