Contradiction

[Bare Foot Kid]

Hello everyone,

I just thought y'all would like to see something interesting!

I meant to look at "used" as opposed to "maximum" space!


Later Ted

 

[johngalt]

Yeah, and mine doesn't have the contradiction....

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

It's not supposed to, that's the point! MAXIMUM

Its a generic output reading since it counts just below 128k, you changed the storage size to a non-binary number sequence.

Hello dmex,

I'm trying, I'm trying! Take it easy on this old non-geek...

So what I have found on Google so far is... either a 4 or 8 in its place?

Thanks Steven.

Hey Ted,

Sorry if I sounded rude ...It was about 4am when I replied and I just typed what I saw


When you changed the vss storage size you used a non-binary sequence number (16>32>64>128>256>512>1042...) so its just giving a generic reading instead of a specific size hence the contradiction.

Hey dmex,

No; I didn't think you sounded rude... I meant my brain was trying to catch up!!!

Will a "4" fix it?

Thanks Steven!

Another point- his is rounding or whatever to an even 5 GB number whereas mine is showing 3 decimal places....

Thats because its set to a non-binary number so its a generic reading output

 

[johngalt]

So, are you saying that he has his settings different from mine somewhere?

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

Hello johngalt,

Yes, I had mine set to a maximum of 5GB as yours is set to a maximum of 69.864GB.

Well I now have it set to a maximum of 4GB.

See this tutorial.

lol _ mine is set to 12% as opposed to a 'value' - so it is using 12% like it should be....

Thanks, Ted - it was kinda interesting to see yours using more than what you had it set to as a max though....

Hello johngalt,

Yeah it made me wonder...

I trimmed mine down because when I 'mess' something up I usually know it right away!
I don't need more than a few "Restore Points" cause if I REALLY mess something up
I'll just do another complete "System Recovery" from the D: partition.

I've done several... that's why I don't keep anything on C: anymore.


Thanks Ted

Hello dmex, you can mark this one 'solved'!

I changed the max to 4GB and it no longer goes over max.

Let's celebrate; break out the goon & wheatbix...
