Mirrorerd boot drive and separate service partition - unsupported ?!?

Hello
i have setup my SL MacMini (2 internal HDs) in a way that I have splitt the harddrives into two parttitions and mirrored them.
Which is possible in the Installer (and even with Lion) . Which gives you the layout shown below. On the seperat partition are also all service data (Mail,Web,...).
From the beginning I had once per month one partition dropping out of the mirror. it was always the same partition/disk having issues.
It was no problem getting it back via: "diskutil appleraid repairmirror 5B12C7D9-89DC-4593-8BEB-28B3F6F6C5FA disk1s2".
As the frequency has gone up i decided to give the MacMini to AppleCare. They found that the motherboard had some issues and exchanged it. But they also mentioned that this way of setting up the drives is unsupported by Apple. You always have to use the full harddrives and mirror them.
Can anyone confirm this ?
For me this sounds stupid. Any process from a user filling up the the homedirectory will make the full system unusable.
Yours
Wieland
P.S.: By exchanging the motherboard the issue didnt go away.

Everything I've seen about about professional apps and looking for extra speed suggests partitioning the boot drive to put your system on the outer, fastest part of the disk and separating your boot/apps and your data.
There was, or is, slightly conflicting info here:
http://macperformanceguide.com/
On the one hand, Lloyd discounted boot drive speed as a factor in day to day work, and emphasized putting DATA on the outer partition, particularly for scratch. However, once he tried a superfast solid state boot drive:
http://macperformanceguide.com/Mac-LightingFast.html
He was sold! Your set-up and purchases clearly indicate performance is your priority. With 4 1 TB drives in RAID, the extra space on the 300 raptor doesn't seem significant for extra data storage.
I looked hard and had trouble finding a definite recommendation for boot partition size or ratio, but 80 GB seems a ballpark number. You want a cushion. If you can guesstimate the potential size of your boot and apps, some of the speed junkies might be able to give you the optimal number. Nice set up, by the way.

Time Machine Won't Work - Using a BOOT DISK and separate DATA DISK Drives

Ok, so I'm up and running the my new MacPro.
I did a boot drive and then I did a 3 drive "Data Volume" RAID for increased performance and am getting about 235mb speeds on the "data" drive.
Everything is great... except... TIME MACHINE doesn't work. I'm a backup fanatic, so I have TIME MACHINE to save "versions" of my files, plus I use SUPER DUPER, DROBO's etc.
So, I've tried deleting the network preferences file in the library folder and restarting, but to no avail.
Basically, if I open TIME MACHINE PREFS, it says backup failed and I cannot "change" the drive. It's like the MAC doesn't see if through the TIME MACHINE PREFERENCES, but the Time Capsule Disk is "mounted" in the finder and I can copy files directly.
Anyone have any advice?
Thanks!

Open Airport Utility and check that you have the TC properly configured with the drive shared and file sharing enabled. The TC drive must mount on the Desktop. It should also be partitioned using GUID partition map and formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled. You might consider using Airport Utility to erase the TC disk.
I believe the TC user manual should provide information on how to set up the TC to use with TM.

Each drive mounts as a separate volume. There is no convenient way to make them look like one contiguous volume.*
Franky, with an hdd and a ssd I would recommend you put your home dir on the hdd and leave the ssd for the OS and your key applications. It's relatively easy to do and I think better than moving only portions of your stuff.

No bootable device --- insert boot drive and press any key?

A while back I tried installing windows 7 on the iMac which is now running on Mountain Lion. Installing windows wouldn't work. I tried every possible option and tried so many times to get it to work but it wouldn't. Now I have another issue. I went to disk utility and have erased the partition that was created. Except everytime that I boot up my iMac, it tells me
No bootable device --- insert boot drive and press any key?
I have no idea how to get rid of that. I have to always hold down option so that I can choose my apple partition. I was reading online and people say that there is a problem with the Hard Drive, that Master Boot Record is currupt. How do I fix that? Would I need a new harddrive? I dont care if I have to loose all my files, except I dont want to beleive that the only way to fix it is to reinstall Mountain Lion, because in the process of trying to install Windows 7 I reinstalled Mountain Lion like 3 times... So doubt that reinstalling Mountain Lion would fix this issue. Is something wrong with my Hard Drive and is there a away to fix it?

Time Machine, External Hard drive, and the Windows Partition

Is it possible for me to back up my mac with Time machine, and also back up my windows partition on the same HD? I just got the External HD today, so I'm very new at this. Thanks for your help.

Time machine does not work with windows drives.
however the way I have backed up my bootcamp partition is to use diskutility to make a dmg of the windows partition. I then only make regular backups of my user account on the windows partition.
You could partition the new external drive and make 1 partition hfs+ and the other fat32. Then when booted into windows it will see the fat32 partition on the external drive. Then you can carry out backups from within windows to that partition.
Timemachine will backup your mac partition with no problems.

Creating a Boot drive and a data drives

I have just installed a new 750 GB hard drive into a PowerMac G5, it had a 160 GB drive already, and I left that in there. I would like to use the older smaller drive as the boot drive, and the newer bigger one as the user data drive.
How do I go about doing it to minimize problems? I can clone the older drive onto the newer one, using disk utility. Once I do that, then what? Please give me some detailed steps.
Where do I divide things up, put system and applications on the boot drive, and users on the data drive? What about Library? What about things like etc, tmp, and var? Will I have problems cloning users? Please help

You do not need to clone to the new drive, unless you want to be able to startup from it.
Just use Disk Utility. Select the new drive in the Disk Utility sidebar. If you just want one partition on the drive, you can use the Erase tab to format it. Select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format type. If you want to partition it and format it, use the Partition tab. One possibility is to create two partition, with one partition being about the size of the 160GB startup drive. You can then periodically clone your regular startup drive to that smaller partition to have a bootable backup (very useful for trouble-shooting). The second partition can be the rest of the space. How you partition the drive is up to you...
You should keep your system and library files on the startup drive. You should generally keep your application files on your startup drive, in the Application folder. You may also want to keep all of default first level folders in your Home (user) folder on the startup drive. These are the folders like Documents, Music, Movies, etc. that are created during the OS installation.
Inside these user folders, I have moved my large folders (such as +iTunes Music+ at <home>/Music/iTunes/) to my second drive. Then I create an alias named exactly like the moved folder, and put it back in the original location. When iTunes is started, it should act like the folder was still on startup drive in the default location. Alternately, you can move the folder and tell iTunes where the new location is in its preferences, but I like using the default settings when possible.
You should be able to take similar actions to put your iPhoto library folder and others on your second drive. If you have sub-folders in your documents folder, you can also alias them to folders on your second drive. Essentially, most of your user-created data can be on the second drive, but it will look like a default setup in Finder and to the system.
There are more technical things you can do, such as move your entire user folder to the second drive. You can look at those possibilities as well...

I have one 120GB SSD and one 1TB SSHD, how do do I make one of them my boot drive and the other my data drive?

I'm currently upgrading my mid-2010 Macbook Pro 13", I've purchased some new RAM and also a 120GB SSD and a 1TB SSHD (Hybrid SSD and HD) with the intention of using an OWC data doubler to get rid of my dvd drive and place the SSD drive there instead. So after I've placed everything into the Mac, how do I make the SSD my boot drive with the OS on it and everything, and the SSHD where all my data (music, photos etc) are stored?

Youll need to CLONE your internal HD to your target (temporarily) external drive.
1. grab carbon copy cloner or (my fave) superDuper CLONE app.
2. attach target clone drive via USB in an enclosure or HD dock. Firstly format the target (external new) HD in disk utility in “Mac OS extended journaled”
3. clone internal HD to target HD (external) [takes about 40 mins depending on size]
4. Boot ONCE from external (go to sys. preference to boot from external) to TEST the new Clone
5. open bottom (see videos on ifixit or youtube on same) and remove old, install new.
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Replacing+MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2012+Hard+ Drive/10378/1
Done
(FIRST TIME after installing, boot will be SLOW,...normal and ignore that).
Clone APPS
Superduper does not clone the recovery partition, but that is NOT necessary if you keep the original HD as a “backup clone”. Most don’t bother with the recovery partition in a clone, however that is your prerogative.

Changing Boot Drives and Keep Your Time Machine History

A problem with Time Machine is that it is specific to the target and backup drives. Change one or the other and TM will want to do a new full backup. If you don't have enough space, it will delete your old backups. HOWEVER, this is a way to install a new boot (or other) drive that TM is backing up and get it to pick up where it left off doing incremental backups. This is extremely helpful if you change your boot drive. In my case, I moved from a HDD to an SSD but wanted to keep my history intact. TIme Machine "knows" which drive to backup based on the UUID (unique drive identifier) so merely changing the name of the drive in the Finder won't do it. You need to change the UUID in the latest backup of TM.
Note: This is not for the faint of heart or technically challenged. It also requires a mild knowledge of unix or at least the ability to follow instructions TO THE LETTER! You will change the UUID from the Latest Backup in Time Machine from the "old" drive to the "new" drive thus tricking TM into thinking the new drive is the old drive and it will continue to do incremental backups of the new drive. The technique described below was originally developed under OS 10.5 (and posted on the MAC OS HINTS 10.5 blog but I have just used it under Snow Leopard. It might work for newer OSs but I haven't tried them. I actually did 2 things: 1) Installed a larger TM drive and 2) installed a SSD as a boot drive. I will post under a different title to provide information on installing a larger TM drive since putting that information here may be confusing.
You will need 2 Unix commands: xattr and fsaclctl. xattr is included in OS 10.6 Unix shell but fsaclctl is not. You will have to get fsaclctl from a version of OS 10.5 using the techniques described in the article posted below. I had an old 10.5 disc and found it in: /sbin/fsaclctl at the root directory of my 10.5 hard drive. I also performed the technicque described below logged in as root but this may merely logged in as an administrotor.
** How to change your boot (or any other) drive and get Time Machine to just pick up where it left off doing incremental backups and not do a full backup of the new drive:
1) Turn OFF Time Machine
2) Install the new drive
3) Clone the old drive to the new drive (in my case HDD -> SSD) using SuperDuper, CarbonCopyCloner or even Disk Utility
4) Make sure you have both xattr and fsaclctl commands installed
5) Open Terminal
6) Follow the instructions here:
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20090213071015789&query=time+machine +new+disc
Note: you may need to use the command switch "l" (the letter l) to see the ascii version of the UUID
sudo xattr -l com.apple.backupd.SnapshotVolumeUUID my_partition
Note: Unix uses spaces (white space) as delimiters and is always case sensitive so if you have spaces in the name of your drives, you MUST put the drive name in quotation marks:
if the drive name is: My HDD then to list the contents of the drive in Unix would use the command ls thus:
> ls "My HDD"
will list the contents of My HDD
(the command: > ls My HDD (without quotation marks) will produce an error - no such file or directory)
When you've followed the above procedure and turned Time Machine back on, the first time TM may warn you that the disc has been changed and "someone may be trying to trick your computer" into using the new drive. Answer: do the backup
I wish I could take credit for this brilliant technique but I just followed it and it worked for me. I also read the entire thread before starting.

The two drives are handled as separate drives, even if they have the same name.
In essence, the old backups are from a drive that's no longer connected; see #E3 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.

External Boot drive and time machine?

Been away from the mac/s for awhile... Just recieved my new mac mini hooked up to an external drive, in this case a very nice mini stack V2 with 500GB and more importantly 7200RPM drive. When I first turned on Leopard I of course designated the external drive as my backup for time machine.
That done can I still use the external drive as a bootable drive? I want to gain the increase in performance from that hard drive by doing so.
If YES I just install my OS on to that drive and then once done select it as my boot drive in system preferences? Any help appreciated.

I'm not sure you would want to have a backup to the same drive you boot the system from, and Time Machine won't give you the option to select the same partition your boot copy of MacOS is in. You may be able to repartition the drive into two (or more) logical drives and do it that way, but realistically to get the best performance from the system you'd probably want to use the external not just as the boot drive, but also for data storage. That being so, you clearly wouldn't gain any real benefit backing up to the same drive even if you could do so, so you might perhaps instead designate the mini's internal drive for Time Machine use, or add a second external and designate that.

New boot drive and a clean install of Lion

I have a Mac Pro with multiple internal hard drives. My Lightroom catalogs are on one disk, my actual photos are on another, and my OS is on a 3rd. I recently decided to upgrade my 7200rpm SATA boot drive to SSD. In the process, I also did a clean install of Lion. None of my data was moved, as it was all on separate internal drives.
I have the new OS installed, and I reinstalled Lightroom 3. I should also mention that whenever I import files from CF cards (using a card reader), I import as DNG. I only shoot RAW.
When I launch Lightroom and look at my previous work, or the shoot that I was working on prior to the upgrade, I notice that (at least) the following is missing: flags, ratings, edits. I think I can live without the flags and ratings (though I would love to get them back), but I thought the whole idea of DNG was to store the sidecar "edits" file with the RAW file in one package. Shouldn't I be able to see my crops, treatments, localized brush edits, etc.?
What am I doing wrong and what can I do to remedy the situation?
Thanks very much in advance.

You need the original catalog file. You should have copied this over to your new instillation and then just opened it, rather than reimporting files.
If, as you seem to be saying, your catalog is not on the OS disk then all you need to do is open this after reinstalling LR, rather than creating a new catalog as you seem to have done. Just find the original catalog and open it from LR, or double click on it from Finder when LR is closed.
If you have not kept a copy of the catalog file, then you could use your most recent back up of the catalog, hopefully you made regular backups using LR's backup system and did this to a separate drive.
However if you have re imported the files then any edits that have been actually saved to the files will be read by LR. You do have to actually write the edits to the files, either by choosing to do this automatically in LR's preferences or by clicking on the update metadata in LR, otherwise these edits are not written to the files (or as xmp files when using propitiatory file types. If you didn't write the changes to file then LR has nothing to read.

Using external hard drive as both a boot drive and time machine backup

My internal 1TB hard drive on my iMac is dead and I don't have the money to replace it at the moment.
I have everything backed up on an external 1TB drive using Time Machine. As a workaround for the time being,
Is there any way I can install the system on the external drive and use that as the boot drive without erasing the Time Machine
Backups? It seems to me I would have to have two partitions for the external drive, one for the system, and
one for Time Machine. But is there any way to add a partition without erasing the existing one with
Time Machine only on it?
Sorry if line breaks here are weird. Doing this from iPhone.

Neil , I have a mid 2010 27" imac running 10.6.8 and i want to install Lion , when i purchase Lion from app store will it give me any install options as I would like to be able to dual boot using SL and Lion , I have 500 gigs left on my 1 tb drive (should I do this) or would I be better of using an external bootable drive as I also want to use Ubuntu and or Linux down the line.
Any and all support , help and advice will be appreciated.

Cloning Hdd to SSD boot drive and what happens with Music/Logic Plugins

Hi, my computer is a mid-2012 Mac Pro 12 Core
It's a great computer but I'm considering upgrading my main boot drive (WD Caviar Black 1TB HDD) to a 1tB Samsung EVO 840 SSD drive (I'm using a sonnet tempo PCI card to mount an SSD that holds audio at the moment and will add another SSD for the boot drive I'm referring to) so I just had a question - if I clone the HDD to the new SSD, what happens with things like licenses for my audio plugins, such as Native Instruments Komplete, programs by IKMultemedia. programs that use an ILOK such as Steven Slate Plugins and also, WAVES plugins? Will this info all carry across to the new SSD drive or do you think I'll need to reauthorise some things? I have all the serials etc so this shouldn't be an issue, but just wondered.
Any help would be appreciated as it feels like quite a big step in that it's my main system drive!
Thanks in advance
Sam

CCC is excellent. If it doesn't work then sure, just always have a safety net of your system that is untouched.
Also, after a clean install, CLONE it!
And then use Setup Assistant. Migration Assistant.
Clone of the system can go on sparse disk images too so you don't have to partition (should have at least one though) and you can have clone from different stages and versions: 10.9.4, without Setup Assistant, migrated, full loaded with all your apps. Multiple versions.
CCC is designed to make a working bootable copy of a system so you can move the system to another boot device like hdd and SSDs without the worry.
But I think we were talking about a system that did not see a clean install of Mountain Lion or Mavericks so it is over due for one!

Nothing Boots on my Mac Pro 1,1 - Boot Drive, Installation Disc, Recovery Partition, etc.

I tested the boot drive on another Mac and boots just fine.
Situation:
On my Mac Pro, about 2 weeks ago I upgraded iTunes and everything worked just fine, used the computer on mulitiple occasions with no problems, power ups, etc. The last time I powered the computer on, my usual desktop image loaded but then frozed. I did a hard restarted by powering the computer off and restarted. But this time at the boot process the gray apple logo screen with the rotating gear came up as usual but then went to the white screen. I performed mutiple restarts, sometimes the blue screen came up. I restarted in safe mode and booted just fine. This may be a quick workaround but I can't do much in safe mode. I've done all of the troubleshooting I can do/find on the net. Zap pram, reset SMC, reinstall OS X Lion via USB(Does Not Boot at all), cloned another boot drive, reinstall OS X Lion on the boot drive via another Mac, etc. Any last suggestion before ditching computer?

If you can boot up in Safe Mode, take a look at
About this Mac > ( More Info ) > Memory
see if all modules are present, at their expected sizes, and have a Status of "OK". Anything else has likely failed.

It looks like there is a problem with the ODBC driver of Olite. I tried to see the configuration parameters in the Windows ODBC Data Source Administrator but when I click on the Configure button, the window closes and nothing appears. When I use another program (Aqua Data Studio) to query the Olite DB, everything works fine as long as I use basic queries without a "where" clause. When I use a "where" clause, windows opens a message box complaining about memory access error from the "olsv2040.exe", which is the Olite windows service, and it stops the service.
There is also this error message when I launch the SOA Suite and it comes to the part of loading the BPEL processes:

A file transaction.log is missing. It's strange because when I installed the SOA Suite, it never complained about the installation of the files. How can I re-install this file or generate it without installing the whole SOA Suite?
I am sorry if my message is too long, but all these problems are related to the Olite DB. Is there a way to re-install the ODBC drivers and the service without re-installing the whole SOA Suite?
Any would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, after having installed the Oracle XE database and configured the data-sources of the BPEL PM. I still had the same error message complaining about invalid column number. I changed the code and put directly the connection pool:
DataSource dataSource = (DataSource)_initialContext.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/BPELServerDataSource");
Connection con = dataSource.getConnection();
Statement stmt1 = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
ResultSet rs1 = stmt1.executeQuery("SELECT cikey, process_id FROM admin_list_cx WHERE index_1='"+deployedId+"'");
And now it works! The row is found and no error. I am wondering, is there a problem with my code (it worked with the former BPEL PM API 10.1.2) or is there a problem with the function listInstancesByIndex of the Locator object or something else (look at the Exception trace). Did somebody successfuly used this method of locating processe's instance using the index_1 parameter with the 10.1.3 API?
Cheers.

Mirrorerd boot drive and separate service partition - unsupported ?!?
