Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a Windows Embedded Compact 7-based image on a device that is equipped with a storage device that can be formatted. 

  • The image contains the following catalog items:

    • "exFAT File System" (SYSGEN_EXFAT)

    • "Transaction-Safe FAT File System (TFAT)" (SYSGEN_TFAT)

  • You create a partition on the storage device and then format the partion to the TexFAT format.

  • You mount the partition on the device and then copy some files to the partition.

  • You restart the device.

In this scenario, the used space that is displayed in Windows Explorer for the TexFAT-formatted partition is much less than the actual amount of used space. Sometimes, the used space that is displayed is close to 0 bytes.

Note This issue also occurs when the GetDiskFreeSpaceEx function is used to check the used and free space of a partition.
