Network drive free space incorrect when using junctions

[wanderer]

Imagine this scenario:

In a PC named PC1, C: contains a junction "Folder1" to D:\Folder1. Perform the following actions in a TC instance under PC1.

- Go to C:\, you see the total free space of C: in the drivebar.

- Go to C:\Folder1, you see the total free space of D: in the drivebar.

- Go to \\PC1\C$, you see the total free space of C: in the drivebar.

- Go to \\PC1\C$\Folder1, you still see the total free space of C: in the drivebar while you should see D:.


I could consider this a bug but i don't know if it's technically possible to change this behavior. It would be nice if it could be done though. Christian, any comments?

Total Commander is calling the disk free function with the full UNC path. It seems that Windows cannot determine the partition to which the link points.

Argh..... I was afraid of such a thing. Anyway, thanks for the info.

No workarounds (like a DiskFreeEx function), right?

No, I'm not aware of any - TC is already calling GetDiskFreeSpaceEx.

Too bad. Anyway, thanks...
