The latest Version 3 NT server PTF allows you to create
storage pool, data base volumes
and recovery log volumes that are greater than 2GB
on an NTFS file system
( the only file system for NT which supports these files ).


>>   Is it possible to create a 9GB storage pool volume on a hard disk, this

>> [Kelly Lipp]  No.  2GB max.  No, you can't do all of the steps through the
>> GUI.  You must first format the volumes using dsmfmt and then assign these
>> volumes to the pools.  Use dsmfmt from the utils directory.  The syntax is
>> dsmfmt -data c:\mumblefratz\data01.dsm 2000.  This will create a 2000 MB
>> file.
