We are having a hell of a problem with drive space "disappearing"!
Basically the server does not release space once things have been deleted. At first we found a lot of things in the network trash folder; however that was only a small percentage of the missing space. All in all we are missing about 15GB. We are only using 2 shared volumes at the moment (2 x 34GB). I have installed cocktail as well, to clean up any caches etc that might be lurking around.
Our current setup is 1x160gb ADM partitioned into 5 volumes. We have about 10 logins for ppl to access the server. It is running 10.2.8 build number 6R73.
There is amix of OS9 and OS10 users logging in.

Any way, has anyone ever heard of something like this happening? Any advice?

Thanks
Snake

Use OmniDiskSweeper to find where your space is going.
