I'm using a Fastpath 4 to quite happily allow communications between Ethernet (Suns) and Appletalk (Macs). I've got CAPS running on a Sparcstation and it allows printing to laserwriters and mounting of AUFS volumes on Macs. I've configured a directory properly with .afpvols, .finderinfo, and .resource requisites and can mount it on my Mac. However, when I try to copy files onto the volume (dragging in the Finder), I get a message reporting "The file couldn't be written and was skipped (the file/folder is locked)." There are not disk quotas on the Sun volume, and I have permission to write in the directory in question. In fact, I can make duplicates of files on the Sun volume from the Finder without a problem. Furthermore, the problem only occurs about 85% of the time. Once in a while I can get a whole bunch of files copied, then, almost at random, the problem returns. Has anybody seen/fixed this? Any ideas? I don't know what else to do. Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions! Ben Sloan UT Geology ben@emx.utexas.edu ben@maestro.utexas.edu
