Errors Attempting to find out how many bytes are available on a non-existent volume results in an error message indicating Frontier "Couldn't find the disk volume."
Notes This verb should work with volumes up to 4 Terabytes large, sepcifically it returns the correct result for volumes larger than 2 Gigabyte where file.freeSpaceOnVolume doesn't.

The file system maintains this number, so this verb requires no traversal of the directory. It is therefore fast.

This verb is new in Frontier 6.1.
