Hi, I'm hoping somebody has run into this problem before. System: We've got a SS1+ with a 1.3 Gb HD and 600 Mb magneto-optical disk running CAP 5.0 . Our local ethernet has Mac II's (ci/x) with ether2 cards attached running appleshare and ethertalk1. Our work involves large disk transfers regularly (>50Mb). Problem: Usually our net is very reliable, but occasionally (1-2 /week) after a large disk transfer has just been completed, the fileserver shuts down and dumps core(aufs) in the current directory. The copied files have always been fine, but it is a pain to reconnect to the server. Also, the fileserver sometimes dies when in an application and scanning directories in an open/close/save dialog box. I've tried stripping DA's & startups from the Mac's but it doesn't seem to help. Besides, it appears as though the problem is at the Sparc end. Any ideas? Please respond directly via e-mail. I will summarize if response warrants. Thanks, -- Michael J.
