On Jun 21, 2008, at 11:19 AM, Harry Jacobson-Beyer lamented:
Earlier this morning I copied an 8 MB file to the backup folder on my .Mac account. It worked just fine. A few minutes later I dragged a 10 MB file to the back up folder. Itbegan to copy than hung. I let it go for several hours and it was still hung. I had to hold down the power button on my computer to shut it off and stop the attempted backup as clicking on the stop button had no effect.Any idea why this might be happening?
dotMac apparently had some problems early this morning. I couldn't get mail for a half hour or so at around 7:00 and syncing of Yojimbo and TextExpander failed at 7:30.
The Finder is not particularly robust when network glitches happen during copies and often gets confused when the destination volume goes away. I see this with AFS and NFS copies once in a while. It's rarely necessary to nuke the whole machine when this happens; just restart the Finder with Force Quit.
dotMac has been having many senior moments lately, probably due to its imminent death and resurrection as MobileMe.
