It require a different filesystem, at least on Windows,
where - after you enter "switch" - you're told that the
current filesystem is the only one mounted.

On UNIX it does look at PFDSK and tells me:

                    The trial File Contains 101 Records.
                    File Now Uses 1 of a Possible 4 Extents.

              Drive A -- /u  -- Can Hold 0 More Records.
              Drive B -- /u3 -- Can Hold 0 More Records. (Current)

in spite of the free space I have:

    /u     :     Disk space: 7401.24 MB of 8427.73 MB available (87.82%).
    /u3    :     Disk space: 7290.12 MB of 8408.20 MB available (86.70%).
