Encrypted disk image on a network, is the data encrypted during reading/writing?

I'd like to use an encrypted image for storage of sensitive data on an openly accessible network storage. Does anyone know if the data that is written/read from the image (once it is mounted) is transferred over the network in an encrypted or decrypted form?
It's seems important, since if the network connection is not encrypted then the data might be accessible to others.

Efren,
When you mount an encrypted disk image, the machine you are using (and on which the image is being mounted) is handling all encryption/decryption. So yes, the data that is transmitted across the network is already encrypted.

Disk Utility 'Disk Image from Folder' looses file create date?

Hi,
I have been working on creating backups that maintain the files' create dates. I have found the following anomoly using Disk Utility.
If I create a Disk Image From Folder, the create dates of all files are changed to be the same as the last modify dates. Not what I want.
If I creat a Blank Disk Image, and then using Finder to copy the files to the Disk Image, the create dates remain unchanged.
I can then burn the backup CD's with the Disk Image and the files' create dates are maintained. So, future restore from the backup CD will contain the original files' create dates.
Does anyone know if Disk Utility's Create Disk Image from Folder is supposed to loose the files' create dates? What other file attributes are being lost? Mac OS X maintains all of these attributes, and create dates via Finder copies, I would expect the Disk Utility Create Disk Image from Folder to do the same.

To follow up on this post, I know at least part of the answer. The difference between the two becomes clearer if you read the documentation (man pages) for hdiutil and asr. Image 1 will be created in file mode, whereas image 2 will be in block mode, ie bypassing the file system. Image 1 will consist of a series of files, whereas image 2 will contain a series of blocks, mirroring the original layout of the hard disk.
Technically the latter should be faster to restore (in block mode), although Apple recommend the first procedure (see man page for hdiutil). I haven't seen any evidence that images created in block mode can be mounted or restored, although you might be able to burn such images to a optical disks if applicable.
As I've pointed out in another thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1508199&tstart=0) I believe that this functionality should not be offered in disk utility, and I consider it a serious bug.

How can I Cache the data I'm reading from a collection of text files in a directory using a TreeMap?

How can I Cache the data I'm reading from a collection of text files in a directory using a TreeMap? Currently my program reads the data from several text files in a directory and the saves that information in a text file called output.txt. I would like to cache this data in order to use it later. How can I do this using the TreeMap Class? These are the keys,values: TreeMap The data I'd like to Cache is (date from the file, time of the file, current time).
import java.io.*;
public class CacheData {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
String target_dir = "C:\\Files";
String output = "C:\\Files\output.txt";
File dir = new File(target_dir);
File[] files = dir.listFiles();
// open the Printwriter before your loop
PrintWriter outputStream = new PrintWriter(output);
for (File textfiles : files) {
if (textfiles.isFile() && textfiles.getName().endsWith(".txt")) {
BufferedReader inputStream = null;
// close the outputstream after the loop
outputStream.close();
try {
inputStream = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(textfiles));
String line;
while ((line = inputStream.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);

I don't understand your question.
If you don't know how to use TreeMap why do you think a TreeMap is the correct solution for what you want to do?
If you are just asking how to use TreeMap then there are PLENTY of tutorials on the internet and the Java API provides the methods that area available.
TreeMap (Java Platform SE 7 )
Are you sure you want a map and not a tree instead?

Can't burn Blu-ray disk image because get error message, "The operation couldn't be completed. (DSPPublishing error -1012.) What does it mean?

There was an error creating your disk image. The operation couldn't be completed. (DSPPublishing error -1012)

I don't have a background image. I called Apple and they had no idea what that error number meant. I deleted preferences for FCPX still didn't work, then delted all preferences and set up a new user. It now works. Apple has no idea what is going on.

Application disk image won't eject off the desktop?

Hi,
Lately I've been having this problem with either Firefox or Safari and I download something and the dmg extracts and I'm left with the white casing shell where the app is housed and it won't eject. I can't eject it from finder but dumping it to the trash from finder took it off the sidebar. I can't get them off my desktop unless I restart my Mac.
Why is this happening and how do I fix it? I'm using Leopard 10.5.2.
S.

Thanks to DeltaMac I figured out all the problems I was having with my Finder. I was missing a lot of options under my Finder tab like Empty Trash, Preferences, Quit etc. Also I had no option to right click and eject disk images or external hard drives.
All you have to do is download Onyx here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/20070
Then open up Onyx and go to OnyX/Parameters/Finder
put a check in the box next to Show Preferences item, Show Empty Trash, Show Quit item, and Show Eject item and whatever else you want. You have to do them each individually though and wait for the prompt. Then item log out and back in again and everything should be back to normal.

Can I REPAIR my External Hard Drive in Disk Utility without losing all of the Data?

So, here's the story...
A while back, I made the mistake of throwing my TM backups in the Trash folder. They were "stuck" there in my External Trash FOREVER until I finally decided to do something about it. I read a few forums that gave instructions on how to delete those volumes through Manually through a series of prompts in TERMINAL. This process actually WORKED and removed the files from the trash, HOWEVER, now the Disk isn't mounting properly. After running "Verify Disk" in Disk Utility, It's telling me that the disk needs to be repaired.
Fearing that my disk may be wiped completely, I thought I'd transfer all the files over to another HD and Repair the Problematic Disk just to be safe.
But When I try to copy the files over to another drive with ample space, it gives the message "The operation can’t be completed because the selection contains both backup items and non-backup items."
I am now at a cross roads, because I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE ALL OF THE DATA ON THIS DRIVE!!!! What do I do??

Hi,
If it is not mounting properly but you can "grab" something in an effort to Transfer it, what are you seeing ?
Can you limit it to different files/folders ?
Other than that I would try Carbon Copy Cloner (you can Try before your Buy sort of thing)
Use this to Create the Backup of the drive.
Then repair drive.

A question about Logical Disk Performace collection Rules and how the Data is displayed in a Report view

Hello
I am currently on SCOM 2007 R2 CU6 and Window Server Operating System MP version 6.0.6989.0 (I cannot use the latest version of the MP as we still have some Windows 2000 Servers we need to support, yes I know :( )
Any way the issue is, I have never found the Logical Disk performance counter data very reliable from SCOM.
For example, I have a Windows 2008 R2 Server and when looking at a local Logical Disk (which holds an SQL temp DB on a busy SQL Server) and look at the performance counter
The SCOM collection rule is called "Collection Rule for Average Disk Seconds per Transfer"
The actual Windows Perfmon counter is called "Avg. Disk Bytes/Transfer"
if you look at the description of the above Perfmon counter it is described as
"Avg. Disk Bytes/Transfer is the average number of bytes transferred to or from the disk during write or read operations."
The problem I have is as follows:
The resulting SCOM performance chart over several days (which has a scale ox 1x) states the value never reach 3 (e.g. maximum wa s 2.7 say). I cannot believe the a drive holding the tempDB databases for a busy SQL Server does not transfer more then 2.7 "bytes"
of data at a given to to its tempDB databases!
Indeed when I look at Permon on the Server and looks at this counter over say 20 minutes or so, the figure is often in the 10,000 or 30,000 bytes etc. It does fall back to 0 (zero) momentarily but mostly it is in the 1000s, or 10,000s etc.
Therefore when my boss says show me the "Avg. Disk Bytes/Transfer" and SCOM says it has not exceeded 2.7 over the last business week (i.e. the chart never peak above this value on the chart with scale 1x) he naturally does not believe it!!
Any advice please regarding the above. Is it the fact if the counter ever falls to zero it messes up the SCOM report charts?
Thanks

Create your own collection rule, to mirror the sample times, and what not. Look at the data from your rule vs the mp default rule. It probably has to do with the chart scale imho.

How can I show and hide an image or a decoration on the front panel during execution of the vi?

Hello,
I've made a user interface with a little grafic description.
That description should change depending on user actions, e.g. if the user switches a button, some lines should disappear and some other lines should appear.
I thought some decorations could be shown and hidden via something like a property node, but that is not possible. Images can also not be hidden during execution of the program.
Is there any posibility to change a grafic user interface?

Thanks to Tim for drawing what I suggested as option while I had some real work to do.
There is a trick of overcoming the index problem that was presented/devloped in the forum in the last month's:
You can place the decoration inside a cluster, so you can use the lable of the cluster to adress the decoration you want. The data type of the cluster doesn't mather for this, so you will hide the control/indicator. And you colour the cluster transparent (hint: right click with the coloring tool and use space to toggle).

External drive not showing up - which disk initialization method will NOT erase the data on that external hard drive?

Hi,
as thousands of other users, my WD Passport drive worked like a charm until yesterday and now it wont show on any computer, but does show in the Disk management and when plugged in , the Disk Management offers two ways of initialization : MBR and GPT
i dont understand any of that and want to know if any of those two methods will make the disk initialize wITHOUT loosing the data on the drive?
i looked on so many forums and some people say that it will and others that it will not erase the data.
can you please tell me what is correct?? also a suggestion is to add some more wording to that initializaiton dialog box so that we can know what initialization does and doesnt
thank you so much
t

Try connecting it to a different computer to see if you can access the data, under no circumstances should you Initialize the drive as all existing data will be lost.
If you still can't access your files, then remove the drive from the case and connect it via an extra SATA cable and power connector (you usually need a desktop PC in order to do this if the drive is a 3.5 inch model, a 2.5in drive will fit into a laptop
if you have a spare slot).

How to save the data from AI Read.vi?

Hi,
The main target is that testing the strength of a object which is extended by a force. The desired results are
1. The strength of object under the force(main target, I am trying now);
2. Displacement of object being extended(I have mimicly done);
3. Images of deformation of the object extended(I have mimicly done).
4. The sub procedure will stop when the object under testing is broken. I intend to use the big pulse from force sensor by analizing the data acquired.( it is more difficult if using machine vision).
What I am mainly trying to do now is implementation of a sub vi to collect the data which is acquired from channel 0 of PCI-6052E which is connected to a force sensor. I have tried to use an existing exam
ple as attached with some modifications. I have tested the data from the sensor by comparing to measurement by multimeter and it takes sense. But
1. I still don't know how to save data displayed by AI Read.vi? And use what kind data type could save more memory?
2. I think that memory management is very important because each points of the result includes its strength, image and displacement. How can I acquire enough significant points for the final results being reliable and save these data down to an array or cluster synchronously? (each sub procedure has no time limited)
3.Because I think that a continuous data acquisition would occupy ALL CPU TIME and their related images and displacements would have no chance to be taken down by CPU at the same moment. Am I right?--I am sure that it is not very difficult problem but my mind is still in caose and the time is quite limited to me now.
I am looking for your sugguestion or solution or control philosophy too. You can modify the fi
le attached if you can. I will learn from your idea.
Thank you very much for your time and energy!

Acquire_N_Scans_1_10.vi ‏75 KB

Hello;
Regarding your question on the data type that would use less storage space, the answer is binary type. Actually, you can use another shipping example as start point of your application. The example I'm mentioning is a data logger, that saves binary data to a file on your hard drive. You can find that example at Search Examples->I/O Interfaces->Data Acquisition->Data Logger->High Speed Data Logger.
Regarding your question about the CPU time, the statement is valid. In case you use a synchronous AI task, the CPU execution will get stuck inside the AI Read.vi untill the buffer is ready to be read. One thing you can do about that is to change the acquisition task to be asynchronous. There is a good example in Labview showing how you can accomplish that.
You can find the example at Search Examples->I/O Interfaces->Data Acquisition->Analog Input->DAQ Occurrences.
You can combine both examples to accomplish the task you need.
Hope this helps.

The data that is in the table is from excel, so the data to be read can changed?

for example the data before is EXEC 1,how if i'll changed the value to 1 how can i read those data if he changed the EXEC 1 to 1. that's why i said the data is changeable.
can you give me a simple example about this?
Thank You

You need to some extend what will the data be. If you know that it is either a string+space+number or just a number, than you can use match pattern function to look for the space character.
If there is a space character, you will read the string after the space, which in your case is a number. If there is no space character, and you are only passing a numeric string, then just read the whole string.
I create an example that does that.

Getting the date to be read in an example.

Hi,
Im using the below example for a self project:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3421
and in the example below it says you can read the date as well however I can't get this to work. I've trited a few things but everytime when I add a new point on a different date but same time as a previous point they just overlap.
The reason I am using this example is the device I have hooked up outputs data in this exact format so it works really well.
One thing is my dates are set up as :2007.02.28 not like the example as:2/28/2007
If someone could help me out in getting that graph to read the date too that would be great.
Thanks
-D

Hi Darren,
I changed the main vi of the example to also convert the date string to a number. Read the comments in the code!
I made the changes in LV6.1, with newer LabView-version you will get more possibilities like date/time data type...

Disk Image Resizing

I have created a dmg disk image of 100mb. It is now full and won’t allow me to put any more files on it. I would appreciate knowing how to: 1) Delete files from the disk image. At present, every time a try to send any files to trash, it says that it is not possible and that the files/folders cannot be deleted. 2). How to increase the capacity of the disk image. Is it easier to create a new disk of a larger capacity or is there a simple way of increasing the size? I have TM operating from a 500 Gb hard drive. Thanks for your help. Cheers. And a Happy New Year to you all from sunny Bangalore!

Launch the Terminal app in /Applications/Utilities/, copy & paste this command into the window that pops up, hit the return key until you get a beep, and type a q and hit the return key:
*man hdiutil*
Now, search for resize and see how to do that. Do note that a sparse disk image will grow to fit the data. Alternatively, launch Disk Utility and search for *sparse disk image* which should bring up a hint on how to resize one.

How do I change the password of an encrypted Sparse Bundle disk image?

I tried to change the password of an encrypted 'Sparse Bundle' disk image but it seems Disk Util doesn't let me choose this type of disk image for the Change Password function (Menu Imgaes->Change Password...)
How am I supposed to change the password? Do I really have to create a new disk image with a new password and copy the old one? (I'm using the 256 bits encryption)

There is no error. Just nothing happens. The problem is a little different for the sparse image and the sparse bundle image. When using the menu command Images->Change Password... you get a file dialog where you must point to the image. The sparse image is selectable (not grayed) but when selected nothing else happens. The sparse bundle image is grayed out in the file dialog so you can't even select it.
Something else. When creating a new blank disk image it shows up in the left pane of the Disk Utility app. But after unmounting the images I'm left with Disk1, Disk2 in this list. Re-mounting doesn't change that. It seems rather useless as you can't do anything with them.
All this happens consistently on multiple Mac's, all with 10.5.2
