Alright, I needed a bit of help here and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas?

I am running Windows NT 4.0 server with most recent updates of course....and I have Mac clients using Mac OS 9 that can only see 2 GB's of the partition on the Server. The Server is running 2 18GB Hard Drives and a 9 GB Drive.

Anyone have any ideas on how to make the Mac workstations see the full amount of space that is available on the server?

Thanks in advance guys.

Sorry that I can't find the KB article about this, but there is a known issue with creating a large Mac volume - it makes the whole share flaky. If possible, I'd recommend setting up a separate share for the Macs that's smaller than 2GB. If that's not possible, I'd recommend searching through the MS Knowledge Base for the issue - I don't think it was ever fixed:

have you tried installing Dave 2.5.1 on the macs? I've found it very reliable in running macs smoothly on a windows network.
