Agree with first comment. No problems to report if you ask permission before.

One questions about new version - can it correctly count size for _hardlinks_? (as far as i know, softlinks correcty counted in old version, but hardlinks - not, it counts all of them separately)

It would be great to have a 64bit version of WinDirStat.

We occasionally would like to run it against a very very large file system and the current 32bit one crashes (guessing it runs out of memory)…

Thank you for posting.

I have a Sony Vaio running Vista with 52 of 100gb showing as unknown in WDS.

After disabling the System Restore Points all of the unknown space came back.

I’m having exact same problem as the others, i.e. 50+ GB of unknown data I cannot reclaim. I tried the “chkdsk /f c:” but the process completes without error and without reclaiming my space. I then tried downloading and extracting your LocalSystem file but when I try running cmdassys.exe I never get a command window. I tried the other programs ans with RUNasSYS.exe I see a cmd window for the blink of an eye. Fyi, I booted in safe mode, logged in as Administrator and tried to run it, no help. Any advice on why I cannot get cmdassys to run? Thanks!!! Btw, I have WinXP sp2 build 2600.

I can see how this would be an issue for people like Tim.

Just a thought, perhaps if you limit the ability to submit a report to administrators only. I assume most workers in a company like that would only have standard accounts, so only people who know what they are doing will have access to it.

Apologies if my idea is complete nonsense.

For me it would be a case by case basis as my company does deal with sensitive information, but I do appreciate the importance of sending debug info when possible.

Anything as long as it helps a new version to come out !

It would at least be useful for sending reports from test systems. Data privacy reasons make it questionable for production environments.
