Invalid Extent Entry error

I have an iBook 9.2.2 and am getting an error message "Problem: Invalid extent entry, 44165, 4075" when running Disk First Aid. It says Disk First Aid cannot repair this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to repair this problem? THis is a laptop for special needs children.

Welcome to Apple discussions!
The directory on the Hard drive has been corrupted. The "index" of what files are where is out of whack, and there is no way to repair it that is completely risk-free. You will need to take one of two approaches:
1) use an Industrial strength Disk- or File- Repair Utility. Popular ones include alsoft Disk Warrior and Tech Tools (now supplied by Apple when you have an Applecare contract). DO NOT INSTALL these programs until the damage is completely fixed -- Get the CD version and boot from the CD, do the Repair, check again with Disk First Aid, THEN they can be installed, if you wish.
Norton Utilities for Mac has repeatedly failed Mac users by not keeping their software appropriately upgraded to match the Mac Operating System. Using the wrong version can wipe out your Hard Drive.
If you are working within a School System, the school's Tech Support should have a plan and the necessary Utilities and know-how to address these sorts of problems. When you have a large number of computers to look after, these problems come up regularly in Macs and PCs.
-OR-
2) Back up the files you can still read and re-initialize the Hard drive.

Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit / INVALID EXTENT ENTRY

In trying to verify my HD, I get this error message:
Verify and Repair disk “Macintosh HD”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Invalid extent entry
Volume check failed.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit

I've tried Disk Utility (not from startup volume) with no luck. I've also run DiskWarrior several times and still get the same message... What am I missing? How do you repair an INVALID EXTENT ENTRY? Is my HD about to bite the dust?
Any help would be much appreciated!

1derfullymad,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I am surprised that Diskwarrior was not able to take care of this problem, but Handling "overlapped extent allocation" errors reported by Disk Utility or fsck may provide the ultimate solution for you.
Make sure to use Disk Utility to check the S.M.A.R.T. status of your drive. If you get a good report the drive should be OK.
This problem is a characteristic of a full Hard Drive. If that describes your Hard Drive, Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk, by Dr. Smoke may prove to be helpful.

'fsck -fy' yields "invalid extent entry, invalid node structure"

Hello all,
System seems unstable. Many different apps, including System Preferences, crash on launch.
In Single-User mode (Command-S at boot), ran 'fsck -fy' (multiple times) and the receive the following errors that cannot be repaired:
Invalid extent entry
Invalid node structure
Volume check failed
What options do I have to fix this? No claims by Alsoft (or other disk-fixing utilities I know of) that DiskWarrior works on Intel-based Macs to resolve an issue such as this. Are there really no disk-fixing tools for Intel Macs?
Is the only option to format and reinstall and if so do I have to "zero all data"? And if I have to zero all data, how long will it take?
Thanks for any insight.
Cheers,
Derek

Thanks again, iVmichael.
Thanks for your suggestion... So I did boot off of Install DVD and ran Disk Utility from there and here is what it reported:
Checking HFS Plus volume
Checking Extents Overflow file
Checking Catalog file
Invalid extent entry
Volume check failed
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
1 volume could not be repaired because of an error
I tried another suggestion I got from the EIMS-L list which was to use another Mac to repair the MBP in FireWire target disk mode. I did that and was able to run Disk Utility from my other Mac (1.33GHz PowerBook G4) but it reported same errors. On the other Mac I tried to run DiskWarrior 3.0.3 (latest) but it failed to "see" the MBP's disk even though it was mounted and Disk Utility saw it.
So I will probably reformat and reinstall everything!
Thanks for your suggestions...

Kernel Panic (Invalid extent entry)

While trying to run CampTune to expand my Windows partition, I encountered an error. With each OS X reboot attempt, I get a Kernel Panic. Windows partition was not affected. I attempted to repair the disc using the install disc, but initially was getting "no valid packages,"message, but now it says "Invalid extent entry." Fortunately everything was backed up days ago in TM. I first tried an Archive and Install, but that failed. Now as I attempt to re-install Leopard, it's saying that the destination disc needs to be erased.
Re: "no valid packages" "Invalid extent entry" messages; will a clean install fix the problem?

You would need to use Disk Warrior to rebuild the directory in order to fix the error. Erasing the drive and reinstalling OS X should also fix the problem.
"No valid packages" occurs if the /Library/Receipts/ folder or its contents is deleted or corrupted.
Using third-party software to alter the Windows partition will result in the partition no longer being manageable by Boot Camp Assistant. This is not advisable because if you later decide to remove the Windows partition you will have to repartition and reformat the entire hard drive.

What now? I got repair failed "Keys out of order" and "Invalid extent entry"

What now? I tried to verify & then repair disk and I got "repair failed" "Keys out of order" and "Invalid extent entry"

You've booted from your OS installer disk, ran Repair Disk from Disk Utility? If so then you need a stronger disk repair utility like DiskWarrier to rebuild the directory.
BTW, update your profile information.

Missing Thread Record and Invalid Extent entry when booting

Hi all,
When I boot up my PowerBook G4 it freezes. When I boot into single user mode and run fsck -fy I get the following messages:
** /dev/rdisk0s3
** Root file system
** Checking HFS Plus volume
** Checking Extents Overflow file.
** Checking Catalog file.
Missing thread record (id = 72)
Invalid extent entry
(4, 14531)
** Volume check failed.
I do not have Disk Warrior nor the Apple disks with me. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. Navigating my disk in single user mode seems to have all my directories etc.
Thanks!

I am trying to back up my data now. I only have my FAT32 formated iPod with me and I'm trying to mount it to backup my photos before I reinstall. Unfortunately I do not see my iPod popping up in /dev at all so I cannot even mount it.
It's a USB connection so I suspect that single user mode doesn't pick it up... Any advice on how to mount a filesystem from my iPod in single user mode is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Kindly help me to resolve this error.

If you create a new application and try to create a new JSF page there are you still getting this error?
If you do then I think something in your installation went wrong - the first step would then be to delete the system directory at: C:\Documents and Settings\youruser\Application Data\JDeveloper and restart JDeveloper.

Disc Utility says it fixed the invalid extent entry but it lied!

Hi guys and gals
Just wondering if anyone else came up with this problem:
My powermac G4 running OS 10.2 only starts up to a blue screen and nothing else. I ran Disc Utility first aid on it and it said it had an "invaild extent entry" which it fixed, but the problem is still there.
I ran Nortons Disc Doctor, which never completely finished but freezes about 3/4 of the way through. Can't run Speed Disc because the drive won't mount.
Ran to the Disc Warrior which did fix some bad directories, but then froze at the "Building Report" stage.
Again I may have to suck it up and erase and reformat the drive, but I didn't back up lately (I know I know bad girl) and again there are some important files that I need to get to.
Any help would be much appriciated!
Thanks in advance!

Hi htmlneophytea,
1. disk utility in 10.3.x cannot repair this error. This was only implimented in the Tiger version of disk utility.
2. Your problem has a name: Norton Disc Doctor! Norton Utilities and Disk Doctor were discontinued more than a year ago (for some very good reasons!). It caused much more trouble than it solved.
Here are the articles:

How can I fix an invalid sibling link error message without my original install disk?

How can I fix an invalid sibling link error message without my original install disk?

Hi Jeff,
It's not even likely the Install Disc could fix that, but if you want to try...
Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
(Space between fsck AND -fy important).
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

Finally, you should run DiskWarrior if your Mac explicitly warns you of a problem with your disk in the form of an error message. Most of these errors are reported by the built-in Disk Utility whether your Mac OS X version is 10.3 Panther, 10.4 Tiger, 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard or 10.7 Lion. Here are some of the most common messages:
Disk Repair: The disk was not repairable by this computer. It is being made available to you with limited functionality. You must back up your data and reformat the disk as soon as possible.
The underlying task reported failure on exit.
Invalid node structure.
Keys out of order.
Invalid key length.
Invalid directory item count.
Invalid extent entry.
Invalid record count.
Invalid index key.
Invalid sibling link.

Invalid File Name Errors when syncing to Ipod

Ever since an update last fall I have been getting Invalid file name errors when I try to sync my ipod. A window would pop up saying "Windows could not copy 'SONGNAME' to the iPod 'IPODNAME' because an unkown error occurred (-37)." I would press OK and another window would immediately pop up that would say, "Attempting to copy to the disk 'IPODNAME' failed. the file name is invalid or too long."
The windows would keep popping up countless times until the sync would just seem to time out and stop.
The problem songs would have no problem playing in iTunes.
Prior to the update this did not happen. No new songs were added around this time and nothing was changed to my file directory structure. I was too busy to troubleshoot this problem at the time and hoped that another update would fix it. Well, here I am many months and updates later and still no fix. After fiddling with iTunes and resetting my Ipod multiple times (goodbye saved angry bird games)I have found out that:
1. By writing down the file name when the error windows pop up I can get a partial list of the problem file names. I could not get a complete list of the problem files because the sync would time out before a full list could be compiled (the list appears to be in the hundreds).
2. If I changed the name of the file by adding OR deleting one character, remapping the song in itunes, the song would then sync properly.
3. If I changed the name of the file, remapped the location of the file within iTunes, changed the name of the file BACK to the original name that iTunes supposedly had a problem with, and then remapped the location of the song within iTunes, the song would then sync properly
4. If I moved the song to a different directory without changing the file name, remapped the song within iTunes, the song would sync properly.
5. If I moved the song to a different directory without changing the file name, remapped the song within iTunes, moved the file BACK to the original directory, remapped the song again, the song would sync properly.
6. If I renamed the file and then named it back to the original file name WITHOUT remapping the file location in iTunes, the song would still not sync properly
7. If I moved the file into a different directory and then back again without remapping the file location, the song would still not sync properly.
8. Changing or deleting the tags has no effect at all.
9. File name lengths are already under 200 characters and there are no special characters used.
So, to sum up, I have found out a way to fix the issue. The problem is, that there are hundreds of songs that appear to be affected and renaming or moving every single one individually and then remapping is extremely inefficient and ignores the cause of the problem. I also did not want to delete the itunes library and then add all of the songs back in because I have many custom playlists that I have spent hours creating and I do not want to delete them.
Is there a better way to fix the problem? Especially if someone knows the root cause?

I got a procmon log file and examined it. I have the file and I could also provide you with that or screenshots of it.
There is nothing unusual about it. I can see entires in which CR has successfully opened the report and has cached in a c:\windows\temp.
However there is one or two non-successful entries that may be related, especially that examining the stack trace brings us to a call to get_ProductLocaleID():
- A call to read reg entry HKU\S-1-5-20\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\Locale fails with NAME NOT FOUND.
- immediately after that and from the same process (w3wp.ex) there is a call to open directory "c:\" which is logged as ACCESS DENIED.
Any subsequent unsuccessful calls seem to be results of exception handling in the debug code.
Does this point to any setup issues with CR? We always run the redistributable x86 runtime when installing it.

Invalid Time Interval error

Hi Friends,
I am loading HR data from Source. It loaded correctly without issues upto PSA and when i trigger the DTP from the PSA to the IO 0EMPLOYEE, I am getting the following error.
"0EMPLOYEE : Data record 25 ('00001028 ') : Invalid time interval '['20070731'/'20070527'] '[from/to]     RSDMD     189".
It shows about 7 entries in the error for employee 00001028.
When i check the data in PSA the from and to Values are correct.
Person           Start Date        End Date
1028              01.10.2002      26.05.2007
                      27.05.2007      31.07.2007
                      01.08.2007      31.01.2008
                      01.02.2008      29.02.2008

                      01.01.2009      31.12.9999
So, the from Data and to Date is correct yet I am getting the Invalid Time Interval error and my data load is failing.
It is happening for a all the records.
Can someone please tell me /suggets me how to resolve this issue?.
Yore help is appreciated.

Invalid printer name error (-41002)

While I use 'Print Report.vi with new HP Deskjet 5443 printer (connected to the computer by USB and configured as a deafault) I get Invalid printer name error (-41002).
The application is working properly with other printers.
The "HP Deskjet 5400 Series" name appears in the printers list that was found by "Get Printers list.vi".
The printer is printing properly with Word, Excel and other applications.
I am working with Labview v8.00.

Hi Alex,
I have found a corrective action request in our R&D database that addresses this very error occurring, with HP-5940(USB) printers. I plan to add your feedback that it is happening for you as well with the HP 5443.
Have you tried going to the printers entry in the control panel, getting the printer name there, and then entering that as a string constant into Print Report.vi ? Also, you can try leaving the input terminal empty and it should use the default printer.
Let me know if either of these works for you.

Invalid Flow Context error in Inbound Queues

I am new to CRM middleware.
We are getting lot of entries in CRM Inbound Queue (SMQ2) in our production system with error description,
"Invalid Flow Context".
The queues are of type, "R3AD_CONNOBJXXXXXXXXXX" and the FM the error was caused in, is "BAPI_CRM_SAVE".
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!
Rajiv

Thanks Rohit,
When I debugged an entry with this "Invalid Flow Context" error, In method, CRM_GENERIC_CRM_IN, in the call to function, SMOF0_READ_SMOFSUBINT, in read statement,
   read table t_smofsubint binary search
           with key objclass = i_objclass
                    objname = space.
I am getting sy-subrc = 4.
i.e. entries do not exist for SI_POD in table SMOFSUBINT.
Has this behaviour got anything to do with this error?

Invalid Extent Pointer (-408)

My iMac G5 ran great until after installing software updates this morning. After restart, could get nothing but a blue screen. Ran disk untility and TechTool Pro v. 4. I get the message that I have an "invalid extent pointer (-408)". This error message says that the Allocation file (bitmap) failed. I called Apple and talked to a tech. Since my two year old iMac is no longer under warranty, he said I should take it to an authorized repair place. I've not been able to get a phone call from this authorized repair place returned all day. Does anyone think that a total erasure of the harddrive would help? My experience with hardware repair is extremely limited but I'm willing to try anything that might solve the problem.

Invalid numeric entry

Hi,
I need to create a new channel with only a portion of data.
I want to use the command : ChnTimeAreaCopy but I get always the same error : Invalid numeric entry
my code is
Dim myvalue02
myvalue02 = str(chd(ChnFind("Ch(""[2]/velocity"")<0",1),"[2]/Time"),"d.ddd")
Call ChnTimeAreaCopy("[2]/Time","[2]/Displacement","[2]/Time_enj","[2]/Displacement_enj",0,myvalue02) '... XW,Y,E,E,TimeAreaCopyBeg,TimeAreaCopyEnd
my intention is to assign to myvalue02 the value of Time channel when the "velocity" channel i less than 0 (first value)
Then I want to create new channels "Displacement_enj" and "Time_enj" with only a portion of data between Time =0 and Time = myvalue02.
I suppose the problem is that myvalue02 is a text value.
How can I convert to numeric value?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Giova
Yes, you are right, you assigned myvalue02 as a string, while ChnTimeAreaCopy(XW, Y, E, E, TimeAreaCopyBeg, TimeAreaCopyEnd) should be a real variable.
By writing
myvalue02 = val(myvalue02)
you will convert your string into a numeric.
Try to write it after your second line where you declare myvalue02 and I think you will not be receiving the same error any more.
