Maybe someone could possibly explain this...

Why is it when I want to move something out of the active system folder
(either into another folder, onto the desktop, or into the trash), my
Mac makes access to every drive I have connected?

Today was the worst, I was trying to move one little 3K INIT file out
of the system folder on the internal 105MB HD.  At that time, I can
connected an external 30MB HD and 5 AppleShare server volume mounted.  It
took a grand total of 8 minutes to move that file out of the system folder.
During that time, the Mac made numerous accesses to the server volumes and
to the two hard drives.

Just what is it checking for?  This is also relates to the mystery of why
all server volumes have to be accessed before you can open the active
system folder.  Just what the heck is it doing?!!
