This is off a new G4 running OS 9.0.4. The OS does report the volume as
having 30Gb free.
As the files are Quicktime movies, I just tried doing a Save As to the
volume from inside the Quicktime Player app. It actually seemed to do the
copy (progress bar chugged away for a few minutes) but when it finished
threw up an error message claiming there was "bad data" in the movie and
there was no file on the volume. The file was about 3.6Gb
Any thoughts?
Russell.
