Huh?
TECHINFO-0019641
TOPIC
This is a section of the AppleShare 4.2.1 Read Me file, dealing with "Sharing a volume over 2 gigabytes. To read the complete Read Me, search for the Tech Info Library article shown above. A correction to the original Read Me file was made to this Tech Info Library document.
DISCUSSION
Sharing a volume over 2 gigabytes
AppleShare 4.2 allows you to share a volume as large as 4 gigabytes (GB). However, when a user mounts a volume that's over 2 GB, the information that is displayed at the top of the volume window on the user's computer will be inaccurate. The line beneath the volume window title displays the number of items in the window ("n items"), the amount of memory used by items on the volume ("n MB in disk"), and the amount of additional memory that can be used ("n MB available"). The "n MB in disk" and "n MB available" figures will not reflect the total volume size.
Negative file sizes
In some views, the Finder displays the size of a file next to the file's name. If users report that the Finder is displaying negative file sizes for files stored on AppleShare servers, instruct them to upgrade to System 7.5.1 or higher.IMPORTANT: In the original ReadMe document this section instructed users to upgrade to AppleShare Workstation 3.6.2. However, they should upgrade their system software, not just their AppleShare Workstation software.
