Hello,

As said, I did every thing which was recommended from this group.

I Contacted Apple who advised to switch the problem HD into another server in which I did.

The server that I put the HD in developed the same problem, and the one I took it out of worked just fine. So that leaves me to believe it is a software issue as Apple suggested may have been. To continue support with apple will cost me a arm and leg so I will through out here what I have discovered before I go back to them.

I started to monitor the server with the Activity Monitor and noticed that under "Disk Activity" that the Data out constantly climbs until it reached 148.11 GB and then I got the Startup disk almost full.

What is this Data out?

Thanks

Well I want to thank all for their responses and I have tried as recommended from this list.
I checked my server this morning and it was almost frozen stopped until I restarted.
I removed all the larger files even though they were below the Gb range.
I used What Size that was nice as I could see more than I could before.
I Have a Cap of 152G, Used 6.32G, and have 146G available. This seems a far cry from disk full.
I assume my only option at this point will be to shut down and a trip to the shop?
Thanks
BJ

I have a G5 duel 1G X2 OS X Server 10.3
I just started getting warning messages that the startup disk is
almost full.
Where and what can I do to resolve this. It is slowing down the
performance.
Thank You,
Billy Jack Dial
