Disk utility and diskutil information doesn't match.

I'm trying to figure out the layout on one of my mac's. I've been doing unix for about 20 years,
but have only just recently started using MAC OS.

According to CLI, there are 3 disks.
According to the Disk Utility GUI,
there are 2 Disks. The first disk has
1 partition, the 2nd disk has 2 partitions.
The 320gb disk in the GUI is /dev/disk0
The 500gb disk in the GUI is /dev/disk2.
Where is /dev/disk1?

Started using Apple's in 1985, but never ran or studied UNIX.
For one 500 GB Internal HDD and one 500 GB FireWire External HD I get.

I have a half dozen other External HDs, but have them ejected and shut off or disconnected so as not to confuse the information presented above.
To be honest, I'm not sure where or what the 640 GB dev/disk1 is. Although it looks like maybe because of it's Map Scheme, it is either from an old PPC system or perhaps just Partitioned incorrectly for an Intel Mac...?
What disk cloner did you use, generally CarbonCopyCloner (which I use) and SuperDuper bless the External Hard Drive with the proper Partition Map to make a bootable clone...?
As for changing the Partition Scheme, repartitioning with Disk Utility (if it can find that drive) will wipe it clean. Although if it is just a clone, then maybe the best thing to do is start over with the correct Map Scheme and Format. Then use CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper to create and maintain your backup drive.

  • Disk Utility and diskutil unable to format or verify or repair

    Hi there,
    Wondering if anyone can give me troubleshooting ideas on this one:
    When I try to partition or format a usb drive (actually I tried 3 models), Disk Utility does the partitioning part but just hangs (soft hang, I can still close it) when comes time to format the partitions. The progress bar just stops in the middle and doesn't move anymore.
    I get this message repeated a few times in the system.log file:
    diskmanagementd(1367) deny network-outbound /private/tmp/esets.sock
    I eventually tried to repair my main HD, thinking that it might be a perms issue but I get a similar problem - it starts to verify and then just hangs there forever. So this issue applies to both format and verify as well as repair. and it applies to USB devices as well as SATA devices.
    I was able to repair using the recovery partition but the problem remains intact.
    I also tried all the operations with the command line equivalents - always the same thing, either format, verify or repair just hang forever but can wasily be killed.
    Given the above log message, I am thinking that diskmanagementd may have lost the permissions it needs to write out of it's andbox - anyone have a clue how I can fix this or if I am in the right direction ?
    Thanks !
    Phil.

  • Time Machine, Disk Utility, and clearing out corrupted snapshots

    Hi, all. I've been having some troubling issues with Time Machine and could use your collective insight.
    I have a 500GiB external USB2 disk that I've been using for Time Machine since December (the oldest snapshot in Backups.backupdb is named 2007-12-13-222250). Everything worked fine until sometime in late January, when Time Machine decided to ax 2/3 of my Applications directory. Time Machine's logging is terse, so I wasn't able to determine what caused the corruption. The fact that this error wasn't caught and flagged by Time Machine bothers me.
    Especially because I discovered this in the process of needing to recover from a crash on my laptop's hard drive -- I had to roll back to a previous, complete snapshot to get all my applications back.
    After that I had to engage in some jiggery-pokery to get Time Machine to re-snapshot everything, but things proceeded normally until I received my new copy of DiskWarrior 4.1 last night (although DiskWarrior is an innocent bystander here). I tried to use DiskWarrior to rebuild the directory on the Time Machine disk, but it failed before trying to write anything.
    (For those who care: after some back and forth with Alsoft tech support, we determined this was likely because my Time Machine volume has 6.2GB of catalog data, and DiskWarrior works by rebuilding the directory in memory, so it has to be able to fit the whole catalog into virtual memory.)
    I was a little paranoid that something might be wrong with the disk after that, so I fired up Disk Utility and told it to repair the disk. It churned for about 6 hours and repaired an extraordinarily large number of hardlink reference count errors, but completed by claiming that the disk had been repaired.
    When I next told Time Machine to run, instead of copying over a couple GB of data like it usually does, it started copying 38GB! ***? I took a look at the previous Time Machine snapshots, and discovered that Disk Utility had totally corrupted every snapshot I'd made since last month's fandango. Most of the root-level directories in the snapshots now look like this:

    That is clearly, completely wrong, and it alarms me that Disk Utility could cause so much damage to a Time Machine volume.
    Since I also use SuperDuper! to regularly clone this disk, it's not as big a nightmare as it could be, but this means that I'm going to have to clear out every snapshot for the last month by hand, both because I obviously can't trust them anymore, and because I keep getting messages like this in the logs:

    I'd like to keep the old snapshots if I can. What's likely to happen if I just go and clear out the b0rked backup sessions by hand?
    (Hmm... it appears yes, because I just deleted them all and the disk didn't recover the freed space.)
    Here's the important question: has anyone else had issues using Disk Utility on a Time Machine volume, and does anyone at Apple have any plans to add integrity checking to Time Machine? As it stands, I don't really feel like I can trust it in its present form, as convenient as it is...

    I have trouble with disk utility on my new (1 TB Lacie) as well as on my old (500 GB WD) drive. After doing a backup, du tells me a never ending list of errors like
    HasFolderCount flag needs to be set (id = 599567)
    (it should be 0x10 instead of 0)
    Everything was O.K. before doing the backup; so is the disk to be backupped, according to du.
    Up to now, no other problem occurred, but I´d like to clear this issue before my trust in time machine is restored.

  • Problem with Disk Utility and with ITunes and with Classic

    Greetings. I have had problems with ITunes recently; when I try to open it, it gives me the error message: "The ITunes Music Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."
    When I looked at the ITunes discussion section, people had two ideas for other people who had the same problem:
    (1) Make sure that the library of music files is write-enabled (which it is) and not locked (it isn't) and
    (2) Go to Disk Utility and repair the disk.
    Since (1) is not a problem, I am trying (2). However, when I open Disk Utility, it just stays on the window, stating "Gathering disk information..." and proceeds no further.
    Perhaps related to these problems, when I try to start up Classic, the window opens, but it gets stuck at the very beginning (stating "Classic starting up using System Folder ...") and proceeds no further.
    Can anyone help me with these multiple problems? Thanks in advance.

    amandel
    The problems you report are different than those relating to the iTunes receipts/DU conflict. Trashing those receipts as suggested is necessary to get DU to repair permissions, but, as I understand it, you couldn't get DU to recognise your drives. And I've seen no posts relating to iTunes 6 and Classic.
    I've had the problem you describe before (at least vis-a-vis DU). In principle DU's "Repair Disk" function would fix it, but of course if the disk's don't mount in DU then you can't fix them:)
    Therefore fsck is a good solution, or trying DU from the Installer Disk (don't start to install, just let the first installer window appear, go to the menu and choose "Open Disk Utility") and repairing. Then reboot and repair permissions, preferably with DU running from your hard drive.
    Maybe you're more of a "don't touch what's still running" kind of person, but it sounds to me like the systems a bit wobbly and needs some tender loving care. You could try a clean up using a program like OnyX as well - it won't do any harm.

  • Disk Utility and burning problems

    I'm in the process of trying to back up my new emac (OS 10.4.2). I bought some CDRW disks (4X, 700mb) and I can quick erase them--but I cannot burn to them. I have all the proper authorizations (as I am the administrator) and my computer does burn this type of disk. The burn icon is dimmed when I highlight the CD disk in "disk utility". It also doesn't show up on my harddrive. It is listed as read only. I've tried two.
    Is there an authorization I'm missing? Something else?
    (This has not been an easy switch, since I can't seem to get my old iMac to talk to the new eMac either. That is next on my list)
    Christina

    Christina Wilson,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Have you tried erasing the CD-RW disks before trying to use them? Insert the disk, open Disk Utility, select the CD-RW device, not the volume name (the device name is the one on top of the volume name), select the Erase tab, and see if the Erase button becomes active. After erasing, you may need to quit Disk Utility before the CD-RW blank will mount on the desktop (that's the case in 10.2.8; it may not hold for 10.4.2).
    Have you tried running Disk Utility/ Repair Permissions on you new Mac yet? What about the maintenance scripts? A handy reference for this sort of OS X stuff is Dr. Smoke's The X Lab: The X-FAQs

    Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verifying and repairing it but had no luck. I also tried mounting and unmounting it but still no solution. Anyone to help please?

    Looks bad. I would strongly advise backing up the stuff on the other two partitions as soon as possible in case the rest of the drive goes wrong.
    Beyond that, Disk Utility has limited abilities to repair disks, DiskWarrior uses a different approach and might, emphasis might be more successful. It has certainly done the job for me in the past when Disk Utility could not.

    I have an external hard drive from my time capsule that stopped working on me. I am attempting to access the data with a hard drive reader on my MAC. I am able to see the drive in disk utility and under system info USB. But I am unable to access the data and it does not show on the desktop when connected.

    Ok if disk utility was able to verify the drive I doubt there is any problem.. are you trying to open a TM backup??
    You need to mount the sparsebundle then check the actual info inside the bundle.
    Don't use disk warrior.. if the disk has verified then unless you deliberately deleted files there is nothing that is going to do.
    Pondini has a lot of stuff about getting access to the sparsebundle.

    But if you have copied info to the TC that is now gone.. and the disk is ok.. I am not sure.. the TC will not have deleted the files itself.

  • I need help on my MacBook Pro. Recently I've deleted another partition of my disk from the disk utility and I found out that my disk capacity wasn't get into the normal one which is 750GB. Meanwhile I installed window 7 into the partition disk.

    I need help on restoring my disk capacity back to normal. I installed window 7 into the partition disk through bootcamp and I deleted it from disk utility. After I erase the partition disk,I get my capacity to 499GB but not 750GB. Do I need to reinstall my MacBook or something to do with the restoring?

    You shouldn't do it. You have to erase the Windows volume with Boot Camp Assistant, so it will restore the space onto the OS X volume and that volume will have 750 GB.
    As you did it with Disk Utility, you have to resize your OS X partition manually:
    1. Open Disk Utility, select your hard disk at the top of the sidebar, and go to Partition tab.
    2. You will see a bar with Macintosh HD. You have to click it at the bottom right corner and drag it to the end of the bar, so Macintosh HD will use all the space of the hard drive, and press Apply.
    3. Close Disk Utility and your OS X partition will have 750 GB

  • I did disk utility, and verify disk and it asks to repair the disk using dvd installer...but when i insert the dvd- restart- hold c, it keep ejecting and can't read the dvd....i tried with my friends dvd too, but still fail...mac osx v10.6.7

    someone pls help me

    Well there is Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck witch includes step by step instructions to run disk repair without the install disk.
    But before doing that, it's a good idea to backup. You may want to troubleshooting your superdrive / disk before hand. if I disk repair fails you may need the disk working to re-install the OS.
    Dose the computer read any DVDs? if no, you may want to use Troubleshooting the slot load optical disc drive.
