Re: JFS and filesize

What are you using to view the file size?  I have noticed that problem
with Filestar, but a DIR command shows the correct size.  Also, using
the drives folders, details view, shows the correct size.

I've noticed a strange problem on a 1.2 install where JFS doesn't seem to 
support filesizes above 2G. This was never a problem in the past. Since 
most of what I do is command line, I thought cmd.exe was not aware of 
DosOpenL, so I tried a couple of previous versions- same result. Also 
tried jfs.ifs from 4.52- again, same result. When files are being written, 
you can track progress above 2G. When they are closed, they show up as 1 
byte.

Does anyone have any ideas? Probably I have committed some stupid and 
easily resolvable error.

Thanks for the tip. DIR and details view show the filesizes correctly. I 
was using the normal folder views on the desktop, since one might expect 
these to be aware of large files. I will spend a bit of time to try to 
find out if anything can be done by way of configuration. Again, thanks 
for the help.

The WPS is aware of large files. eWP is not. There is no such thing as
a 'normal folder view', whatever that means, and it cannot report different

To clarify my semantics: If I open the folder containing the file in 
question by double clicking on it and then highlight the file, it reports 
as a one byte file in the  bottom of the window. The same is true when 
right clicking on the file and looking at properties:file, also one byte. 
Selecting view:details view from the top menu, the file is correctly 
reported as 8,334,598,144 bytes. Not important here is that DIR gives the 
correct value also. I am at least moderately happy.

I assume that you are the Paul Ratcliffe who gave the community all of the 
latest iterations of aspirout.sys; if so, thank you for your work on that. 
It has been very valuable to me.
