"The data area passed to a system call is too small" when creating a directory or file

"The data area passed to a system call is too small" when creating a directory or file

 

I am trying to create a directory on the server, from the server and

receive the following error message: "the data area passed to a system

call is too small". I receive the same error message if XP clients

attempt to do the same thing. The server is 2003 and nothing stands

out in the event log. Anyone have any ideas?

Hello,

 

you got tis, anyway where you try to create a folder, even on different

partition ?

you may run a chkdsk c: (or d:) in to checkup the ntfs.

 

Service pacl level ?

How many files/directory (i mean one million..) ?

How much free space ?
