- Hi,
-
- The FINDER does have a bug in it. It cannot properly address volumes over 2Gigs. You should have the same trouble with both 6.x and 7.x OS since this
- GET_VOL_PARAM problem has been around since 6.x. My guess is there is something
- else going on here. But the bottom line is you should not use volumes larger
- than 2 Gig. if Macintoshes are to mount and write to that volume. I personally
- wouldn't use sizes greater than 1.3 Gig. as I have seen troubles on (AFP) vol-
- umes of that size too.
-
- Apple has said they would fix this problem.
-
- Think Peace...
