.ctfsys file

In time machine, I have a 10.4mb mach_kernal.ctfsys file. Anyone know what this is? This is an invisible file on the hard drive. Why does it show as a visible file on time machine?

Try this...
Open terminal
cd /
pico .hidden
mach_kernel
press ctrl-x and y to save
press ENTER
Relaunch Finder (Command + Alt + ESC)
I was installing the new update and had to force quit and restart system because didn't finish the install. So this file appeared to me...
Hope it helps.

  • Panic kernel after installing Onyx 2.0

    I installed Onyx 2.0, backup the system on Time Capsule and run the "Automation" feature. After that I restarted the computer and got the panic kernel and I was not able to boot. I have a visible mach_kernel.ctfsys file on the HD and the same on the last backup (not on the previous ones). When using the single user mode I get a message "Error loading kernel 'mach_kernel' (0x8000000e)". I tried all possible ways including resetting PRAM, running disk utility, etc. I restored the system with Time Capsule (last backup) and didn't solve the problem. I think it will work on previous ones but like to find an easier solution, if possible since I have 72GB to restore. Thanks

    Simply installing Onyx would not cause a problem. All that involves is putting the program into the Applications folder. You might check the panic, console, and crash logs using the Console application in your Utilities folder. The logs may provide useful information on what caused the panic. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics.
    If the kernel panics persistently occur during startup that usually means a corruption of some system files or a hardware problem such as bad RAM. You can fix the former by reinstalling OS X:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • What is: mac_kernel.ctfsys

    mac_kernel.ctfsys , a 10 MB file, just appeared on one of my my hardrives outside of any folders.
    Don't know what created it...where it came from or if it can be safely deleted without trashing anything else.
    Ideas/ Suggestions?
    Is it needed for anything and can it be dumped?
    Message was edited by: drshame

    I actually don't know the answer to this question, it was just recently noticed/mention in a section of the forums closed to most.
    I assume it can be trashed, but not 100% certain on that.
    PS. For my money, TM is the worst possible implementation of any kind of backup I can possibly imagine... it might be worth testing in 8-9 years!

  • Server Admin - File Sharing - Show "invisibles"

    Leopard Server, v10.5.7 - Server Admin, File Sharing: Would like to be able to see system directories (such as /var, /bin, /private) in the Volumes::Browse window. I find it odd that "mach_kernel.ctfsys" =is= visible but other system files and folders are not. Is there any way to increase the verbosity of the Volumes::Browse window?
    Thank you in advance.

    Thank you for your reply.
    We were toying with the idea of giving a few admins remote access to /etc/ and/or /dev/ without them having to access via ssh. Not a very big deal.

  • Delete File From Mounted Volume

    Hey,
    I am trying to delete the "Calendar Cache" files on both my laptop PowerBook G4 and the Mac Pro Quad that I sync my calendars with. I am using ChronoSync and the individual calendars sync fine, but there is a little house keeping needed with the cache file. They need to be deleted on both systems in order to "refresh" the views of the calendars.
    So after the sync of calendars, I have the software initiating an AppleScript that deletes both. Here's the script:
    +(* PowerBook Files / delete cache file *)+
    +(* Please note that both systems have the same username. This may be arise a conflict *)+
    +tell application "Finder"+
    + activate+
    + tell application "Finder" to delete file "Calendar Cache" of folder "Calendars" of folder "Library" of disk "useranthony"+
    +end tell+
    +(* Mac Pro Quad/ delete cache file *)+
    +tell application "Finder"+
    + mount volume "afp://10.10.10.1/anthonyabraira"+
    + tell application "Finder" to delete file "Calendar Cache" of folder "Calendars" of folder "Library" of disk "/volumes/useranthony"+
    +end tell+
    I am having trouble addressing a deletion on the networked Mac Pro Quad.

    why send it to the trash — just delete it...
    (* PowerBook Files / delete cache file )
    try
            do shell script "rm -rf /Library/Calendars/Calendar\\ Cache"
    end try
    you may need a delay for the Mac Pro Quad to mount
    ( Mac Pro Quad/ delete cache file *)
    --the mount and then the delay
    delay 4
    try
            do shell script "rm -rf /THE-CORRECT/PATH-HERE/Library/Calendars/Calendar\\ Cache"
    end try

  • How do I find, at-a-glance, the sample size used in several music files?

    How do I find, at-a-glance, the sample size used in several music files?
    Of all the fields available in a FInder Search, "Sample Size" is not available. Finder does offer a "Bits per Sample" field, but it only recognized graphic files and not music files.
    Running 10.8.5 on an iMac i5.
    I did search through a couple of communities but came up empty.
    Thank you,
    Craig

    C-squared,
    There is no View Option to allow display of a column of sample size. 
    For WAV or Apple Lossless files, it is available on the Summary tab (one song at a time, as you know).  For MP3 and AAC it is not available at all.
    You can roughly infer it from the files that are larger than expected for their time.
    99% of the music we use is at the CD standard of 16-bit, so I can guess that displaying it has never been a priority.  However, if you want to make a suggestion to Apple, use this link:

  • Windows no longer boots up, paging file error

    I just reinstalled windows on my mac last week because until now I had been running the old beta version of boot camp.
    Just a few days ago I started getting blue screens every so often and it happened again (twice to be exact) yesterday, however one of the times it booted up and informed me I might want to change my paging file size. Not quite sure what this was I went and found the paging file option in settings and found it was clicked on a set size...so I figured I'd set it on the option that lets windows decide for me hoping this would fix the blue screen problem.
    I shut down my computer later that night and now windows won't get to the desktop.
    When I start it up normally it runs the system check (which I cannot skip for some reason) which gets to 84% and then says \windows\Dump3865.tmp is cross-linked on allocation unit 1731772
    Above it it mentions there is an invalid size for my page file.
    I tried booting it up the in safe mode multiple times and every time it generates a list in dos and stops on windows\system32\Drivers\mup.sys
    I really don't want to have to reload windows again. Is there anyway to skip the system check (it says press anykey, but that has never worked for me) or any other way to get my paging files back to the way they were?
    Thank you.
    Oh I'm running leopard with windows XP professional on a macbook pro (last years model) if that helps in anyway.

  • In order to create space on my MBA I just bumped iTunes media to G drive linked through Time Capsule.  Now pointed iTunes at new iTunes libary on G drive and, even though all music files are there, iTunes can only 'see' 10 albums. Any help appreciated.

    Bit more detail...
    Mac Book Air has been struggling for space for a while so I bough at time capsule a) for back up and b) to host my itunes folder remotely.  This didnt' work.  I took it into the Genius bar and the genius there told me that time capsule is not designed for anything other than back up.  Instead I have to connect a G drive through the time capsule's wireless router to my MBA. 
    I followed his instructions - moved my files from the Time Capsule and MBA directly onto the G Drive - which took a heartening 2 hrs so something must have been happening - and the held down 'Alt' when starting iTunes and selected the new itunes folder as the location of my itunes libarary which I wanted iTunes to 'point at'.  When I opened iTunes only 10 albums are visible now.
    In ITunes advanced preferences it says it is pointing at the correct folder.  The files are all cleary there when I open the G Drive folder to take a look.  But I cannot get iTunes to find them.
    Any suggestions? 
    Secondary challenge - in spite of deleting the original itunes folder on my MBA I still get messages pop up telling me my start up disk is out of space and I need to clear some - I expected to stop getting this message now I had done this exercise above.  I have emptied Trash.  Again - any pointers appreciated.  I am new to this world of 'intuitive' macbooks.
    Cheers

    After admittedly only a quick read the one thing you don't say is how you are trying to make this move.  Most people with moving library issues do it the wrong way.  Plenty of web sites tell you how to do it the wrong way.
    If the iTunes application is started before the drive with the library is fully mounted and awake iTunes will revert back to the internal drive.

  • Issue in Creation of XML file from ABAP data

    Hi,
    I need to create a XML file, but am not facing some issues in creation of XML file, the in the required format.
    The required format is
    -<Header1 1st field= u201CValueu201D 2nd field= u201CValueu201D>
       - <Header2 1st field= u201CValueu201D 2nd field= u201CValueu201Du2026u2026. Upto 10 fields>

       </Header1>
    Iu2019m using the call transformation to convert ABAP data to XML file.
    So please anybody can help how to define XML structure in transaction XSLT_TOOL.
    And one more thing, here I need to put the condition to display the Header 3, Header 4, Header 5 values. If there is no record for a particular line item in header 3, 4 & 5, I donu2019t want to display full line items; this is only for Header 3, 4 & 5.
    Please help me in this to get it resolved.

    Hello,
    you can use CALL TRANSFORMATION id, which will create a exact "print" of the ABAP data into the XML.
    If you need to change the structure of XML, you can alter your ABAP structure to match the requirements.
    Of course you can create your own XSLT but that is not that easy to describe and nobody will do that for you around here. If you would like to start with XSLT, you´d better start the search.
