Hello Folks,
I am asking for a little help on this one, can't seem to find my
missing gigabytes. I am setting up a server at home in order to hold
all my files in one place instead of having them scattered among 3 Macs
making backups a pain. I have done this before and usually it's a no
brainer. The server is actually using appletalk to share files across
an ethernet network to my other machines. The host machine is a G3 tan
running os 8.1 and since all my ata ports are full, I installed a
sonnet ata 133 card in order to give myself the extra space and a used
apple 10 Gb drive.
Reformatted the drive and the system reported 9.4 GB free space. Turned
on file sharing for that volume and checked from the other machines
making sure that I could see it before moving all the files from the
other machines to the new drive. This is where it gets hinky; all the
other machines can see the new drive but they all also report only 1.9
GB free space. I am running a mix of 10.3.8, 10.2.8, and 9.2.1 on the
other Macs. They all report the same thing only 1.9 GB free on the
drive.
I have done this sort of thing since back in the day with everything
from Mac SE's on up but this is the first time this has happened. I'm
thinking this has something to do with the Sonnet card. Has anyone had
any experience with this? I went to Sonnets site but there is no
information on this kind of problem. I could ask for tech help but this
being the weekend they probly won't get back to me until Tuesday or
Wednesday. I really would like to get this running this weekend.
Thanks in advance and regards,
Don
