TOPIC

    When saving to AppleShare volumes with more than 2 Gigabytes free, ClarisWorks 4.0 and some other applications will report a disk is full error.


DISCUSSION

    Several applications needed to be updated to save to large AppleShare volumes (greater than 2 GB). ClarisWorks 4.0 is one of them. Claris released a free update to ClarisWorks 4.0 that fixed this problem. The version is 4.0v6, and the updater is available for download from Apple Software Updates. Other applications displaying this symptom will need to be similarly updated.

    If an update is not available for an application, a workaround for this issue is available: make the volume to which the application will be saving less than 2 Gigabytes in size. This will usually require repartitioning the drive, which will require reformatting.

    Note: Most third party AppleTalk Filing Protocol servers report a maximum volume size of 2 GB, even though they may be larger. Thus, this issue isn't usually seen when saving to large volumes on UNIX or Novell servers.
