I agree that the log files are the first place to check, but generally, SETI @ home has been known to do strange things to systems. I'd avoid it.

Hi all,
I have a dual 2.5 G5, and upgraded on Thursday night to 10.3.8. I leave [EMAIL PROTECTED] running on my machine on the weekends, and when I woke up my computer this morning, it said that there was a corruption in one of [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s files. I dismissed that, and my computer told me my hard drive was out of space. I emptied the trash, and that cleared up 500 mb. However, I had 96 gigs free on my drive, and now it was reading 500 mb! After panicking, I restarted from the CD, ran Disk Utility, and it was fine. I repaired permissions, and that still did nothing. I even tried zapping the PRAM and running fsck on a journalled volume, and still nothing.
Then I did a find in the finder, and looked for everything over 20 mb. I found a few files I didn't need, which freed up 8 gb. Then I noticed a "console log 0" that was 48 GB. Well, I had found half the problem. I did a find for everything over 200 mb, with visible and invisible items showing, and found that there was an invisible "System log 0" that was 48 GB as well. I deleted both these files and restarted. Boom, hard drive space back to normal, with a little bit more from the 8 gb I had reclaimed earlier.
SO WHAT HAPPENED? Was [EMAIL PROTECTED] the problem? Is this likely to continue to happen? This is a really scary thing to see after just upgrading!
TIA, Lavode
I agree with Tarage about avoiding [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you have a spare Mac to run it on fine but [EMAIL PROTECTED] did strange things to my Mac. I wouldn't have it running on my only Mac or main Mac. You are more likely to have strange problems than finding strange beings from outer space with [EMAIL PROTECTED]
