I've written a backup system for my digital photos that copies a
directory tree of files into DVD sized directories to be burned and am
adding up file sizes as I go to determine where to stop and start on a
new disk. The problem I'm running into is that the file size seems not
to be exactly equivalent to the size on the disk.
I'm aiming for a size on disk of 4.37 GB or less since undersize is ok,
but oversize requires the manual adjustments I wish to avoid.
lnDisksize < 4800000000 is the cutoff prior to a copy is the litmus
that has generated the results below
Here are some sample "size on disk" coming from win explorer properties
windows
4.26 GB (4,577,214,464 bytes)
4.40 GB (4,725,853,231 bytes)
4.37 GB (4,697,579,520 bytes)
4.37 GB (4,702,322,688 bytes)
I suppose I could work from diskspace() rather than file size addition.
Are there other quick and more accurate ways of getting the "size on
disk" of a set of subdirectories programmatically in foxpro? I'm
presently working in fox 6.
Best,
