FileMaker Pro Error with FM Server 5.0

Featured Replies

  • Newbies

On newer machines (G4's) we've started to get the following error once in awhile:

Sorry, Filemaker is unable to update the disk this file is on. Click continue to try again, or click quit.

We have FM Server 5.0 serving up 120+ databases to 80+ users. (some from remote dsl connections.)

Doesn't happen with any specific database. Doesn't seem to happen on iMacs and lower.

Any other heavy server users experienced this error?

This often indicates a disk error of some sort. First isolate which machine have this problem. Run Norton Utilities on them and see if there are any problems.

It is also a good idea to run Norton on your server to isolate any problems on them.
