Running win2000 sp 4
Using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/292438/ to fix a joural wrap problem.
Is there a way to find the present size of the Journal Log?

Is the syntax on the fix correct? (do I leave the quotes in?)
HKLM\System\CCS\Services\NTFRS\Parameters\"Ntfs Journal size in MB"
(REG_DWORD)


thanks for your time
 
In Windows 2000 SP3 with the post-Service Pack 3 release of Ntfrs.exe,
described in article 815473, and Windows 2000 SP4, the default journal size
is 512 MB. I don't know if there is a way to check this in W2K. I believe in
W2K3 you can do this with the frsutil command, but I don't think that
command was in W2K.

Leave the quotes out when you add the key. I've pasted the procedure below,
but I'm sure it will lose the bold formatting. The correct name, minus the
quotes, is "NTFS journal size in MB"


Increase the USN journal size to 128 MB per 100,000 files on the volume.

1.. In the Run dialog box, type regedit.exe, and click OK.
2.. Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters
3.. Right-click the Parameters subkey and choose New -> DWORD Value.
4.. Type NTFS journal size in MB as the new value name and press Enter.
5.. Right click NTFS journal size in MB and click Modify.
6.. Click Decimal, and then in the Value data field, type the size in
megabytes that you would like to make the NTFS journal.
7.. Click OK, and then close the Registry Editor.
8.. At the command prompt, type net stop ntfrs & net start ntfrs
