I'm having a strange problem here with my firewire drive.
Every file i copy to it shows up as 3.5MB (!!) in size. As a result, my 120 gig drive is 
getting full, and i've only loaded in a handful of sessions, as well as some cdroms.
When i check the individual files via the 'get info' dialog box, they all default to 
3.5MB, BUT, the (in parenthesis-k-) number appears to be correct.

I'm running os 9.2.2 and os x.2.8 - on a 667 Tibook, and the behaviour is the same 
on both systems. And - come to think of it - it's the same when the drive is plugged 
into my QS-933 with 9.2.2

Also, when i copy a file (be it readme or audio) to the FW, it says it's 3.5MB, but when 
copied back to the internal HD, it 'shrinks' back to normal.

I've rebuilt the desktop on the internal drive, as well as the firewire drive. Repaired 
permissions on the internal, run disk first aid, and speed disk on the firewire, but no 
luck.

As an example, i have a akai pno cdrom, converted to exs, and the folder is almost 9 
gigs!

Any ideas??

Thanks

Sounds to me like you've formatted yr firewire drive as "Mac OS 
Standard". Try reformatting it as "Mac OS Extended" and the problem 
should go away.

For EXS24 users that have Vienna Symphonic Library:

Logic 6.3.1 is released and I hear from folks at the VSL forum that 
the Performance Tool is now working in OSX!
There are new tools downloads for OSX on the VSL site.

Also of possible interest to folks here:
There is now room for XSkey authorisation for SoundDiver. Parhaps 
this means that we'll at last see an OSX version of SD.

Xmas in October!!!  :-)

Thanks a lot. That's indeed what happened..
I sent the drive out to be 'repaired' a while ago, and it must have come back this 
way...
