"It's a software problem". I'm seeing this with Quattro as well - both
versions 8 & 9, and QuickBooks Pro.
My systems use RH 6.2 or 7, win4lin 2, Win98se. The Disk Full only
occurs when using spread sheets. Our servers are linux red hat 6.2
samba servers. And it appears on two out of three servers consistently,
to the point where I'm using gnumeric for minor stuff.
I'm not sure why; the problem may be case conversion or the way the
spreadsheets write temp files and then rename them to the "real" file
name.
It only happens with Quattro, not with WordPerfect or any other app.
(QuickBooks seems to have other, unrelated file access problems).
I'd love a solution - but I'm not holding my breath.
