PhotoShop 7 has trouble saving over the network to a drive with more than 1TB of empty space. Since we have just moved the “My Documents” storage to a much larger drive we are now hitting this issue.
That one drive has 1.01TB of empty space. I started to duplicate a large number of files to make up for the gap and then remembered it was possible to make a big file place holder.
I tested it by incrementing the size up until I had the right size file in place. The final result was
fsutil file createnew d:\junkfiles\BigFillerFile.junk 15000000000
In a few months/weeks we will probably have that 15GB filled up with regular files and then I can delete that filler file and be just fine.
