How does a User know how large their Writable Volume is?

[iforbes]

As an admin I can assign a writable volume of X size. How does the end user know if they are in danger of running out of writable volume space? For example. If I create a writable volume of 15GB for a user and they copy a 30GB file to their desktop what happens?

They don't but you can let them know by making the below reg change. this will display the Writable free space instead of the system volume.

HKLM/SVdriver/Parameters/ReportSystemFreeSpace/ DWORD “0"

Hmm. Would the full path be HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services\svdriver? I take it this registry entry needs to be implemented on the client desktop? Is there an easy way to ensure it's on all of the desktops without having to manually go into every one and make the change?

Never heard of this setting.. Is this in 2.10 documentation? And this it also work with 2.9 agent?

And it should be implemented on the VDI machine because this is an Appvolumes setting. So just update the golden image of your VDI deployment and your good to go.

Hi Ray. The golden image doesn't have any AppStacks attached to it, hence there would be no hive with svdriver. How would I apply that registry setting for something that's not on that desktop yet?

The hyve is in there when you install the Appvolumes Agent. It is part of the Agent, not the appstack.

And come to think of it, you need to indeed create the parameters key, it is not present when you install the agent at first, it does use this settings though .

Correct hyve is HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services\svdriver\Parameters
