Errors Attempting to use this verb on a non-existent or unmounted volume results in an error.

Notes The number of bytes in a volume can be computed quickly because the File system maintains the information.

This verb will not return the correct result if there are more than 2 Gigabytes on the volume. If you are running Frontier 6.1 or later, you should use file.bytesOnVolumeDouble instead which will work with volume sizes of up to 4 Terabytes.
