ACP Index File errors
we had a problem through the night when we were unable to create new files?
%RMS-E-CRE, ACP file create failed
after we deleted and purged we were able to.
we were also seeing some ACP index file error.
Is there some limit on the number of files that a disk can hold? and is this setup in the INDEXF.SYS file? How can you check what this is set to and can you modify easily?
Thanks

Re: ACP Index File errors
With
$ SHOW DEVICE/FULL 'disk'
you will see 'Maximum files allowed'
Could it be that the disk is very fragmented ?
regards

Re: ACP Index File errors
is there any way to find out the total number of files on a device (without doing a dir/size=total, which takes ages)?

Re: ACP Index File errors
And don't get confused by 'Maximum Files' as it shows the size of the header bitmap, but a single file can use multiple headers.

Re: ACP Index File errors
was there no second line in the error message, with some more explanation?
This can happen:
- when trying to create CONTIGUOUS files with no big enough contiguous space ("DEVICE FULL")
- when many files are very fragmented, such that the index file can no longer hold the headers (it needs to be contigous) (cannot now reproduce the secondary message exactly, but it is rather descriotive)
- when you are exceeding the max number of files on a drive (VERY unlikely, unless you have BIG drives with SMALL clustersizes and MANY ( > 16 M !! ) files on one drive.
The temporary cure is to delete some files (as you found).
If the cause is fragmentation, defragging (or deleting a VERY fragmented file; BIG .LOG files are a likely target) is a somewhat longer lasting cure.
A more permanent solution is to INIT the drive with bigger-than-default /HEADERS (and maybe /MAXFILES and/or /DIRECTORIES)
see HELP INIT for details.
It may be interesting, if you (temporarily) have an extra drive available, to INIT that one, and do a BACKUP/IMAGE/NOINIT from the current drive to the newly-INITed one.
Success.
Proost.
Have one on me.
