    Can anyone help? Has anyone had a similar problem? – let me explain. I have recently installed an Xserve + Xserve RAID on a gigabit network (a new installation in a new building).

    Everything works fine and at a fair old pace, but for one major flaw – large files (i.e. a few hundred Mb) are getting currupted when sent to the server. It happens most on Photoshop PSDs , but the problem can be recreated with large DMGs and the like.

    The problem is there on both the RAID and the internal 60GB boot drive.

    Peer to peer gigabit communications on the network are fine – its only to the server.

    I’ve slowed the server to 100Mb and still the same. I’m running Server 10.2.8 software.

    Small files are fine. – swapping the gigabit switch next, just in case.

    10.3 Server might fix it – but I can’t do that until Dantz fix Retrospect for 10.3.

    Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers Joel

    I hope I don’t have to use thr PCI card, as there’s no room for it due to ATTO SCSI and Fibre Channel.

    What are my other options? (None I don’t think)

    Many thanks

    Turned out to be dodgy memory after swapping everything (including the XServe itself and upgrading to 10.3.1).

    Makes sense when I think about it.

    Been OK for about 2 weeks now (and counting)

    Just need Dantz to fix Retrospect 5.1 now.

    Thanks for your help,

    Phil
