    I'm am having the exact same problem (and how ironic that I come into the
    newsgroup and this is the first post that I read).

    The share on my server is 100GB. All of my stuff was working fine up until
    three weeks ago when the server crashed and I had to rebuild it from
    scratch. Same drive configuration and same share sizes but no all of the
    sudden, Mac OS9 is hosed.

    I'm very puzzled here and in (a bit of) trouble becuase it's my lead
    engineers who use Mac, so no Mac, no engineering :-)

    TIA,
