Technote Number: 1091648
Problem:
This size value represents the total (operating system level) of the size of
the Cache.dsk file added to the Desktop5.dsk file.
When you select the '% Used' button, the number which appears represents the
amount of space that is currently being used; however, since the space reading
accounts for both Cache.dsk and Desktop.dsk, yet Compact affects only
Desktop5.dsk, this discrepancy in percentage exists.
This issue was reported to Lotus Quality Engineering, and was addressed in
Notes 5.0.8 Client as follows: The value displayed for the percentage of space
now correctly represents the amount of space in the Desktop5.dsk file. When
you select the Compact button, it runs against the Desktop.dsk file only, and
subsequently, the "%" value will reflect this action.
Excerpt from the Lotus Notes and Domino Release 5.0.8 MR fix list (available at
http://www.notes.net):
Client UI - Workspace & Desktop
SPR# RCFE4VEPL8 - Advanced workspace properties now reports the size and
percent used of the desktop.dsk and only compacts the desktop.dsk when the
compact button is pressed. Pre-5.08 the cache.dsk was included in the size and
percent used properties and was compacted when the compact button was pressed.
The compacting of the cache is no longer needed since it has a quota set and
takes care of its own space by periodic purging. This change will fix incorrect
reporting of the percent used property.
