drive space check ignores mount points

[rbartels]

Hello,

I would like to use the Drive space test however it doesn't seem to be adding up the space available of any of the mount points.

e:\
-> array1 mounted as e:\data1
-> array2 mounted as e:\data2

etc

e:\ is actually a 33 gb raid1 arrau
data1 is a 980gb array
data2 is a 900gb array

hostmon says 33gb free instead of >1terabyte

Is there a workaround?

Thanks

Windows API (used by HostMonitor) returns information about single resource (not including mounting points).
If you want to check disk e, array1 and array2, you should create 3 tests to monitor 3 resources (use UNC test method).

I added three unc tests
Testing from the RMA on the physical that the virtual unc are mounted on.

unc test 1 //server/g$ <-- 443gb
unc test 2 //server/g$/mountpoint <- 900gb
unc test 3 //server/g$/mountpoint2 <- 900gb

All three tests come back with a reply of 443GB.

Now for something completely different.
Running a Folder/Dir size test on //server/g$ comes back with 2.3terabyte as expected so it knows how to added space with mountpoints.

Any more ways to test for free space? Do we need to pull a WMI test on these POS mountpoints?

thx

There is some device mounted at mountpoint, could you access that device directly (e.g. \\storageserver\array1)?

Alex,

Are you saying you want me to create new shares for those mountpoints so that instead of

\\server\c$\mountpoint it is \\server\mountpoint$ ?

Not exactly.
I think you are mounting device that is located on another system, right? So, you should be able to create test pointing directly to that server. Am I right?
