Jules, According to others on the list it's a Logic problem as other DAW MIDI/Audio sequencers do not exhibit the excessive and/or erratic disk usage. There was a thread on this subject a couple of months ago. Search GMANE using "Disk Usage" (minus quotes) and look for this heading. Re: Additional HDs for G5? 36 track limit? (6) Shows up as msg #5. One of the recent threads mentioned disabling "journaling" on the audio drive. HW
