Hmmm... that's 2.5 TB - works here with 8 TB ... That raises the following questions: do the numbers look correct, if you execute in a command line shell `wmic logicaldisk where DeviceID="Y:"` [download] are you using a 64bit or 32bit Perl? (Although that shouldn't matter, works here with 5.14.2 i386 and 5.18.2 x64) Versions of Perl, Win32::OLE, Windows (also, 64 or 32 bit Windows)?	[reply] [d/l]

This is mysterious. In my mental model, Win32::OLE is just a wrapper around the win32 API and wouldn't treat FreeSpace differently than TotalSize. Perhaps NTFS Misreports Free Space? - perhaps you don't have enough permissions? Is the volume mounted in a special way?	[reply]
