SVI Folder

NTFSD
1

Hello,

We are implementing a file system filter, and we want to store some meta
data. The meta data manager example shows us how it can be done. But I had a
few doubts.

  1. teh SVI folder has limited space (configurable through the my computer
    properties) so what will happen if I try to createa file and it makes this
    quota over flow? would some older VSS meta data get auto deleted to cater to
    my needs? or would the create fail?
  2. the second scenario is when vss needs to create a file and due to my file
    it faces the same issue, waht would be the behaviour?

Thanks

AFAIK that limit only applies to disk space used by restore points, not
total disk space usage by the System Volume Information folder by all
entities.
