The FSRM quota report for the system root folder shows a smaller available size than Windows Explorer
You have a computer that is running Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, or Windows Server 2008 R2. When you view the File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) quota report for the system root folder, the FSRM quota report shows a smaller available size than is shown in Windows Explorer.
This behavior occurs because of the following factors:
- The FSRM quota report does not account for the page file when it calculates used storage.
- The FSRM quota report accounts for hard links by using their logical size. Therefore, in the FSRM quota report, two hard links to a 1 kilobyte (KB) file consume 2 KB of space.
Because the system volume has many hard links that target multiple gigabytes (GB) of files, the FSRM quota report shows different amounts of available space when you run the report on the system root folder than is shown in Windows Explorer.
To resolve this issue, change the folder on which you run the quota report from the system root folder to a root folder that is not a system root folder.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
