The problem:
We have 9 elementary schools in our district. Each school has a Macintosh
lab of 30 Macs (10 LC IIIs and 20 LC 550s.) Each classroom has 1 to 2 Macs
in it. Three of the schools are networked to a Mac Fileserver which runs
AppleShare. Our schools are diskless as of this year. The problem I am
describing seems to be happening in these 3 schools only.
Every Mac in our district has FoolProof installed.
Recently, we have started to get a message "This Disk Is Full" when students
try to save their work on the file server. The file server itself has
plenty of space to save to -1.5 gig of space is available. Once we get this
message, it does not let us save to any other place using "save as." I don't
believe this is a problem with our file server because each of the 3 schools
that are having this problem have a different server. Mine is a Workgroup
95, and the other 2 are APS Harddrives. We are also running different types
of Appleshare- Mine is AppleShare Pro for A/UX while the others are running
plain AppleShare.
There is no rhyme or reason to this problem, it has happened on ClarisWorks,
Hyperstudio, small and large documents, LCIIIs, LC 550s and even once on my
AV Mac 8100. The only thing these computers have in common is that they are
all running Foolproof. There is a teacher in our district that is getting
this message at least 2 or 3 times a day on different computers. Students
are loosing alot of work. Apple has not been able to figure out this
problem, we are trying to work with SmartStuff (Foolproof's organization) so
far - no luck.
Anyone else have this problem?
Any help of course is appreciated- Thanks as always,
