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 ?
