Jason, Do you have any crash logs we could look at? Without those, it's nearly impossible to even guess at the problem from your description. We just replaced our Video Lab this summer with brand new Mac Pros (16 computer lab) that are running Leopard 10.5. While making this change we also upgraded to brand new Xserves and upgrade out XSan to 2.x instead of 1.x just to give you a background. Ever since the students showed up and the lab has been in use we have been having an exorbitant amount of Final Cut Studio crashes across the board. The crashes are very random based on what the user is doing and the length which they have been using the program (sometimes on opening the program...sometimes after 30 minutes of use). We are not using roaming profiles. The lab is connected to our Active Directory system so once a user authenticates to our system to login the actual home folders are stored locally and then they work off the SAN. I have tried having users remove their preferences to rest them. I have run disk/permission repairs on the systems, and they are fully up-to-date as far as software updates are concerned. The only thing I haven't tried is completely re-installing a system from the ground up but I'm not real keen on taking the time to do that...can anyone offer advice on anything else I could try? As I'm typing this I just thought of something that I haven't tried and that would be to run a system independent of AD for testing. "Do your work with enthusiasm.
