And I can now confirm. The Fat 32 partition that has the sparsebundles is the one partition that is causing trouble. Unmounting the sparsebundles did nothing to stop finder. But the moment I unmounted that fat32 partition, finder was happy. The original idea was that that fat32 partition could be used by both machines. The reality is that we're using hfs bundles over the network. Time to reformat some partitions. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
