Default :snarl: PT8 cannot allocate enough space for recording

Hi everyone, I'm running Pro Tools 8.0.5 and out of the blue I got an error saying that Pro Tools could not allocate enough space for recording. This really shouldn't be the case because I have a 3tb GLYPTH GPT50 daisy chained with a Seagate FreeAgent 1tb FW800. My comp is an 24 inch Imac with 8gb ram. This error has happened before but not often. I have four Eastwest Play instances running and a Softube TSAR 1 reverb in the session that I got the error in. If anyone can help me figure out what to do I'll be personally very grateful. Thanks.

Change from Open Ended Disk Allocation to 10 or 15 minutes

Unfortunately that didn't work. Can you think of something else?

How are the external drives formatted?

I'm not totally sure, how can I check that? I believe they have read/write permissions if that's what you're asking. The Glypth's default is for Mac OS and it's the one I'm using for this session.

What OS version?

Have you tried running PT with one of the drives disconnected? Could be a bad drive.

"For optimum performance, audio drives should be formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)."
