Cannot Manually Mount Fragmented DoubleSpace-Compressed Drive (103535)
The information in this article applies to:
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.2
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.22
This article was previously published under Q103535
This information applies to both Microsoft DoubleSpace and Microsoft
DriveSpace. For MS-DOS 6.22, use DRVSPACE in place of DBLSPACE for commands
and filenames.
SYMPTOMS
If DoubleSpace cannot mount a compressed volume file (CVF) at startup
because the CVF is too fragmented, DoubleSpace increases the
MaxFileFragments setting in the DBLSPACE.INI file and restarts your
computer.
However, when you try to manually mount a DoubleSpace-compressed drive
(from the command line or using the DoubleSpace maintenance program),
DoubleSpace does not mount the CVF if it is too fragmented.
RESOLUTION
To work around this situation, use the DBLSPACE /MAXFILEFRAGMENTS
command to increase the MaxFileFragments setting in your DBLSPACE.INI
file. To do this:
• Use the TYPE command to view the current DBLSPACE.INI settings. For
example:
NOTE: The DBLSPACE.INI file is hidden in the root directory of the
host drive. To find the host drive for your DoubleSpace-compressed
drive, type dblspace /list at the
MS-DOS command prompt and then press ENTER.
• Increase the MaxFileFragments setting by at least 1000. For
example, if the current setting is 1000, type the following at the
MS-DOS command prompt, and then press ENTER:
dblspace /maxfilefragments=2000
• Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart your computer.
