Rebuild a tm archive moved by cp

Hello,
I moved the whole Backups.backupdb directory from an external HDD to another (internal) HDD.
The reason was that I had to re-initialize the backup HDD, which could not be repaired otherwise by the Disk Utility.
The scheme was to re-initialize the external HDD then move the backup directory back to the external HDD.
Now I know that things would have been simple through a block type copy, using Disk Util to create an image and then restore from this image.
But ... I did the move using cp -pPR to the internal HDD (after removing the restrictive ACLs from the backup directory).
The internal HDD is formatted in Apple GUID partition table, and I copied on a Journaled HFS Plus volume.
The OS is X.7.5
After the move I noted that the size of the backup directory, once moved to the other HDD, and as shown by finder, was totally erroneous:
about 600 Gb instead of 100 Gb
Perhaps an issue with hard links? The symptoms are similar.
However, I thought OS X.7.5 could handle hard links through cp.
The thing is, 600 Gb is too big to copy back the backup directory to the external HDD.
Moreover, since the hard links are possibly messed up, I think some sort of repair is required to get back the backup as it was.
Another note: as it is now on the internal HDD, Time Machine fonctionalities are available on this backup: I can open and browse through the different snapshots and recover old files. But 600 Gb is definitively too big to keep it as such.
At least if I could recover a few consistent (complete) snapshots, that would be great.
Is there any solution, apart from a fresh restart of time machine?
Thanks for your kind help.
Thierry

Hello baltwo,
I did spend a few hours trying to find the solution there, and that was very profitable, as a starter.
However, my issue goes beyond the materials available.
I guess I did the wrong thing with the cp -pPR command, but this does not appears among the usual errors.
Thanks for directing me to that excellent reference, anyway.
Best Regards
Thierry

Help! Is there a way to rebuild the mail archive? all mail scrambled...

All my archive is scrambled... The emails are connected to the incorrect "from", "subject" etc. in the finder. I'll highlight, for example, an email from "susan x." in the mail finder and the email attached to that will be a totally unrelated email from a different person or company or something. It is a complete mess.
Is there any way to fix this?

In Mail, select the problematic mailbox and go to the "Mailbox" menu. At the bottom select "Rebuild".

Rebuild seems to have moved sent attachments to the Trash!

I just rebuilt my mailboxes in OSX 10.4.3. I happened to look in my trash afterwards, and all these files have magically appeared. They are files that I had attached to outgoing mails. Correspondingly, my Mail Downloads folder is much emptier than it used to be. What's going on? I dragged all the attached files out of the trash into a folder on the Desktop until I figure out what to do.
Thanks!

Oh, and when I go into Mail and find some of the mails with the attachments that got put into the Trash, if I open the attachment it reappears in the Mail Downloads folder. Weird.

Which index rebuild?

Hi,
i have question about index rebuild
how can findout which index rebulid?

Generally speaking, none of your indexes will need rebuilding, so forget all about them and let them do their work without fiddling with them.
Right: there will always be a few exceptions to such general rules. There are no easy rules to follow, though, despite what some so-called experts will tell you.
Classically, you are supposed to do analyze index blah validate structure and then query the view INDEX_STATS. If DEL_LF_ROWS divided by LF_ROWS is greater than about 0.25 (that is, 25% of the index is marked as deletable but hasn't been lately), and if that ratio doesn't improve by itself over the course of the next few days, then the index might be considered a candidate for a rebuild.
Rather less classically, but rather more practicably, if you have metrics for how queries are supposed to perform and you regularly track against those metrics, then when the metric indicates a slow-down, you might at least investigate whether the index has blown out and could do with a bit of re-compaction.
You might also reasonably rebuild your index if moving it into archive partitions or soon-to-be read-only tablespace, for then you will want the index to be as compact as possible.
You might also very reasonably drop indexes before a bulk load and therefore equally reasonably re-create them after the load.
Similarly, if you discover you got the order of columns wrong (because your queries always want to select things by column S and D, but your index is built on columns D, G and S), then you will be looking to drop and re-create the index from scratch.
But most indexes really don't need routine maintenance.

Unsupported image format after moving from one project to another

I scanned several thousands of images to my Aperture library. Went thru all of them providing adjustments to many of them, keywords to all of them and adjust date/time to all of them. All of the pics were visible, format is jpeg.
This is a managed library (all pics within Aperture db).
This morning started to restructure the project files (had three of them). After moving couple of hundred images to newly created project file I started seeing "unsupported image format" red screen after clicking the jpeg. 20-30% of the pictures clicked showed on viewer "unsupported image format".
Tried regenerating the previews. Tried command-option start with first fix the preferences option. Then with rebuild option.
Tried moving the pictures back to their original project file.
No joy... Still 20-30% of the pictures show the "unsupported image format".
Aperture 2.1.
Amy other tricks I could try?
Reported this to Apple aperture feedback of course.
--h

Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network, Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
+Note: there is no importing involved+
The thumbs appear, but the images are added 2 or 3 times each and the events are all messed up.
This happens when you import one Library to another, which you've done by drag and drop:
Creating a black library and over writing the new with the old.
Your problem is arising because of the Network Share. iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.

CL_ABAP_ZIP not creating proper archive - incorrect CRC?

Hello,
I am using CL_ABAP_ZIP to upload zipped archive (it's a XSLX with zipped XML's), modifying one of the contained files, zipping it back and downloading to PC. It is opened by Excel application, but with a message that it's a damaged archive (values inside are OK). If I rebuild/repair the archive by WINRAR, then everything is OK and message is not reported any more. I assume that it's the wrong CRC.
Here is my code:
lo_zip->get(
    EXPORTING name                    = lc_shared_strings
    IMPORTING content                 = l_xstr ).
*... change content of L_XSTR, get new L_NEW_SHARED_STRINGS_XSTR
lo_zip->delete( name = lc_shared_strings ).
lo_zip->add( name    = lc_shared_strings
               content = l_new_shared_strings_xstr ).
* get ZIP content as XSTRING
l_xstr = lo_zip->save( ).
* save ZIP file to PC
CLEAR gt_upload.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
    EXPORTING
      buffer     = l_xstr
    TABLES
      binary_tab = gt_upload.
cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download(
           EXPORTING filename   = p_file
                      filetype   = 'BIN'
*           IMPORTING filelength = g_len
           CHANGING   data_tab   = gt_upload
           EXCEPTIONS OTHERS     = 19 ).
I also tried another approach: take what I needed from the original ZIP and re-pack it into another:
lo_zip->delete( name = lc_shared_strings ).
l_xstr_old = lo_zip->save( ).
lt_splice = lo_zip->splice( l_xstr_old ).
CREATE OBJECT lo_new_zip.
LOOP AT lt_splice ASSIGNING <ls_splice>.
    lo_zip->get( EXPORTING name    = <ls_splice>-name
                  IMPORTING content = l_xstr_old ).
    lo_new_zip->add( name    = <ls_splice>-name
                     content = l_xstr_old ).
ENDLOOP.
lo_new_zip->add( name    = lc_shared_strings
                   content = l_shared_strings_xstr ).
l_xstr = lo_new_zip->save( ).
*... save file to PC
The result was the same.
There is also a method CL_ABAP_ZIP=>CRC32 which returns integer CRC for given XSTRING, but I don't know how what to do with it (if anything).
I also found the following fourm posts claiming that the CRC is taken care of by CL_ABAP_ZIP:
1. [abap gzip zip|abap gzip zip;
2. [zip binary data and save zip file to disk at bsp|zip binary data and save zip file to disk at bsp;
3. [How to Zip the data in an internal table|How to Zip the data in an internal table;
They all suggest that it's as simple as my example above, but still, there's something wrong with my solution.
What could be wrong with my ZIP?
Thanks!
KR,
Igor

Solved: This unspecified "*... save file to PC" part of the code was wrong - I was saving a BIN file without filesize parameter supplied. The parameter was optional, but obviously important. Now it works perfect!

Why not both trash and archive for gmail? & Save draft?

1. For gmail that I'm through with, I understand I can go to settings and choose to have it either trashed (moved to trash file) or archived (moved to all mail file). But, why an either/or choice? Why can't there be both icons for trash and archive? They are pretty different functions, each useful.
If Mail is incapable of this, is there another email app that can do it?
2. How do you save a draft of an email?

Setting it to archive is a one time step that is applied to the account.
Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calenders>
Sellect the gmail account you want then slide "On" the Archive Messages feature on this page.
From the inbox you do have the the 2 options you're after and both take 2 clicks. One is the archive icon (an arrow pointing into a box. This send mail to the All Mail folder and the 2nd is an arrow label on a folder. The second option is the move function and with 2 click a message is trashed from your inbox.
Drafts Mailbox set to Drafts (On the Server)
Deleted Mailbox set to Trash

Error with boot-archive - Machine completely corrupted

Hello!
About two weeks ago I installed the current Solaris Os on two v240 to form a cluster. For the first install I used ZFS, but that was incompatible with the cluster software. So I reinstalled the OS, chose "UFS" as the filesystem and mirrored all partitions onto the second drive in each machine with the Solaris Volume Manager.
Today I wanted to patch these machines and rebooted one of them into single user mode. Instead of booting correctly, I got this message:
WARNING: The following files in / differ from the boot archive:
changed /kernel/drv/did.conf
The recommended action is to reboot to the failsafe archive to correct
the above inconsistency. To accomplish this, on a GRUB-based platform,
reboot and select the "Solaris failsafe" option from the boot menu.
On an OBP-based platform, reboot then type "boot -F failsafe". Then
follow the prompts to update the boot archive. Alternately, to continue
booting at your own risk, you may clear the service by running:
"svcadm clear system/boot-archive"
{code}
So I booted the machine into failsafe mode and used the instructions from http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1985/gglbw?a=view to update the boot-archive. During this procedure I was confused that my first disk was listed as c0t0d0s0 and not c1t0d0s0. Also the output of metastat did not work and the system asked me if I wanted to mount a zpool which it found during startup. But there should not be any more zpool now, all partitions are UFS.
The reboot did not work with c0t0d0s0 in the vfstab, so I rebooted once again into failsafe. From this point, the whole system is corrupted. I am unable to boot anymore. The OpenBoot prompt tells me this:
[code]
Rebooting with command: boot
Boot device: disk File and args:
ERROR: Last Trap: Fast Data Access MMU Miss
{1} ok boot
ERROR: /pci@1c,600000: Last Trap: Fast Data Access MMU Miss
{1} ok
[/code]
I am unsure how to proceed from this point. The second machine tells me exactly the same error about "/kernel/drv/did.conf", so I do not think that in both servers a hard drive failed simultaniously.

Yeah, I posted a warning about a week ago about this issue.
If you have SVM mirrored root, then
following the "recommended actions" warnings that solaris gives in this situation results in a corrupted filesytem.
I have a job open with sun about it, and they have confirmed the problem..
From where you are, I recommend you rebuild the machines from scratch..
You might be able to split the mirror and fsck your way out, but its not worth the hassle.
I posted a way to "fix" the root cause of the issue, ie prevent the inconsistent boot archive in the first place yesterday in the "out of sync boot archive" thread in this forum.
So. you can avoid the problem the next time around..
What would have worked when it reported the inconsistent boot archive is to simply ignore it and do the "svcadm clear" command it mentions instead.
Then another reboot.
Alternatively, if you do the failsafe boot, make sure you rebuild the boot archive on both halves of the mirror..

Options to Archive Tables in 10g

Hi
I just want to archive one table in oracle 10g data base. Can any on tell me the options to do that?
I have 65M records in that table. Also Do I need to rebuild indexes after archiving the tables?

What do you mean with archiving ??
We e.g. purge data from tables every three months.
This data then is stored in a history database, with an identical schema and identical tables.
To access this historical data an overall history view is created in the source database, that accesses the local real-time table and - through a database link - the history table
After purging data from a table it is smart to shrink (oracle 10g and above ) or rebuild the table and the indexes

Zen died on Rebuilding???

I last used my Zen yesterday morning and it was working perfectly as usual.
Last night I turn it on and out of the blue it starts "Rebuilding", it does that when I reset it or it momentarily freezes so I'm not surprised.
But this time it freezes after 2 seconds of Rebuilding, the "yellow bar" moved for one second and that's it.
So I reset a few times to see if something changes but it does the same thing.
I went through the Recovery mode, even deleted everything because it's no problem if I have to put everything up again.
STILL it's not working.
What can I do??
Pleaaaaaaaaase Help.
THANK YOU.

Thanks. That's the first thing I did and it actually did not cost me a dime. You do have to pay for Customer Support over the phone, though. I'm very bummed out, actually. My Zen MicroPhoto was my only source of entertainment at work, and I really cannot afford another MP3 player.

Multiple identical mailboxes after Archive task

The Mountain Lion install went very smoothly, with the exception of Mail, but I've got it up and running again.
Here's my current issue: I just did an Archive on messages on my IMAP inbox which were more than six months old. But rather than add them to the previous existing Archive mailboxes for each account, it created six "On My Mac" mailboxes, all of which appear to contain the identical set of 577 messages (see below). I tried "Rebuild" on the "Archive" mailbox, and quit and relaunched Mail, but the oddity persists.
Any suggestions?

You would reuse the same XPath but change the following highlighted parameters, removing the brackets:
<QueryList>
<Query Id="0" Path="[Path to Scheduled job]">
<Select Path="[Path to Scheduled job]">*[EventData
[@Name='TaskSuccessEvent'][Data[@Name='TaskName']='\[Task_Name]']]</Select>
</Query>
</QueryList>
For example, if you create a task called 'test' in the Task Scheduler path called 'Test' your XPath would look like this:
<QueryList>
<Query Id="0" Path="Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler/Test">
<Select Path="Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler/Test">*[EventData
[@Name='TaskSuccessEvent'][Data[@Name='TaskName']='\Test']]</Select>
</Query>
</QueryList>
Good Luck,
Steve

I have just experienced this issue while patching Solaris 10 on a V240 system using Live Upgrade.
The issue was resolved by performing a failsafe boot from the console ("boot -F failsafe"), splitting the (new/alt) root mirror, mounting the primary half, performing fsck several times (as filesystem issues were apparrent), then mounting the slice and installing the new bootblock using the version of installboot from the new root and rebuilding the boot archive manually:
# mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s4 /a
# /a/usr/sbin/installboot /a/usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s4
# bootadm update-archive -R /aI note that the OpenSolaris bug linked to above lists four criteria for reproducing this problem:
1. Install u6 ( SUNWCreq ( no mkisofs so we build ufs boot archive )
2. Limit /tmp to 512M ( so forcing the ufs build to happen in /var/run
3. Have seperate /var ( bootadm.c only lofs nosub mounts / when creating the alt root for DAP patching build of boot archive )
4. Install 139555-08
The system I was patching met the last three of these, but not the first one (pkginfo does not show SUNWCreq as being installed). However, this was not an OpenSolaris system, which may make a difference.

IPhoto Library is gone, gone, gone ... but ...

Here's a chronology of what happened...
I've kept my photos on an external hard drive for the past two years because there were so many of them. Everything was fine.
Three things happened sort of simultaneously, so I don't know which might have been the original culprit: I bought the new iPod (w/ video), which is my first with any kind of image capabilities, I had to do an erase and install of my OS (Tiger), and I imported photos from my friend's Yahoo photo account. I was able to import all of my photos to the iPod, but not the ones from my friend.
After downloading my friend's photos and reinstalling the OS (in that order), I copied all of my photos to the new iPod. A few days later, I opened iPhoto to find all of the keywords there, but the albums and the photos were missing (although all 2900 photos showed up by shape and keyword, but no images). I tried to import a few manually, and I got a message that the files types were unrecognizable.
I upgraded to iLife '05 and tried again. Same exact thing happened.
I went to the discussion boards, which usually helps me, but this time, I did myself in, I fear. I found a couple of discussions that mapped out moving the library to the hard drive and then restarting iPhoto with the command + option buttons and rebuilding, etc.
I moved the library to the hard drive and (here's where I'm stupid, I know) erased the library from the external hard drive. I then opened iPhoto with the option key held down and chose the library on my hard drive. 0 photos. 0 albums. Default keywords. I then tried the command + option restart to rebuild and rebuilt from the library on my hard drive.
Now, when I look in the folders on my hard drive, all of my photos are gone.
After collecting myself, I looked on my iPod and the photos are still on it. I don't know if the quality was altered when they were copied to the iPod, but I'm hoping I can get them off of there. I've used third party software to get my music libraries back and I'm wondering if there's anything like that for photos.
Any advice from anyone? Please help.

Michael,
There is data-recovery software, but it can get very expensive depending on the number of files you need to recover. This is one others have had success with.
Virtual Lab
Do a search in Google for data or Image recovery and you will see many more.
here is the first one that came up in Google

I suggest you make a new post asking about data recovery. some here might have good suggestion on what to use from personal experience.
Good luck!

IPhoto Libary cannot be open

I have recently returned from a trip and tried to organise my photos in order to publish, print, etc.
My MBP has a 256Gb SSD and the MacOS partition is pretty small (dumb choice from me, I know) so I created a new library on the NTFS partition.
After importing photos from cameras and iPhone, created events, albums, flagged hundreds of pictures, etc I tried to create a slideshow with 660 pictures. The slideshow export took ages and eventually hanged so I had to cancel the export but the CPU was still 100% from the slideshow daemon (I wonder why the export didn't use more CPU's).
I quit iPhoto just to let the Mac breathe and when I tried to reopen it it wasn't possible: it asks me which photo library to use, I pick "Other Library...", navigate to the library folder and try to open the previously created library but it doesn't do anything. I don't get an error message (as in other similar posts) and the Open button flickers when I double-click the library or press the Open button.
This are the methods I tried to make it work:
open iPhoto with Command+Open, Command+Option+Open, Command+all modifiers+Open but it still opens with the same window: choose library (no option to rebuild, verify, etc)
double-click the library hoping to run iPhoto. In Pathfinder it just goes into the package contents, in Finder it runs iPhoto which asks me what library I want to use. Really? iPhoto got started by clicking right that library that I need.
moved the library to a freshly formatted drive with a MacOS partition (HFS+, extended, journaled) but with the same result: it cannot be open
restarted Mac (I come from the Windows world )
tried iPhoto Library Manager: it opens the library, sees every photo and movie but no events, albums, etc. I tried to rebuild the library but it creates a new one with no events, flagged photos, etc.
I have another library created on the same NTFS partition with pictures from a previous trip and I cannot open it either.
How can I find out what is the problem, what is the error or the "thing" that doesn't allow iPhoto to open my libraries even from the Mac partition? I looked into the console log but nothing shows up when I try to open a library.
How can I recover my photos and the way I organised them?
This is very annoying as I lost 2 full days trying to publish my photos and got stuck with this issue.
Thanks in advance for any help!
PS: I have iPhoto 9.5.1, Mavericks 10.9.4, MacbookPro Retina

Is the "Ignore ownership on this volume" flag set on the external drive?

After moving the library you need to select the library in the Finder to launch into the First Aid tools, not click the iPhoto icon. iPhoto needs to be directed to the library.
Select your moved library on the external drive with the correct formatting, hold down the ⌥⌘-keys, double-click the library to open in iPhoto, hold down the keys, until the First-Aid panel opens.

Iphoto error message

Help! I've spent weeks scanning and uploading photographs to iphoto, now to find that half of the thumbnails can't be expanded, edited or exported. When I double click on them I get this grey exclamation point in a triangle. What gives? I'm running on 10.6.8 with iphoto 9.2.3.

iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the original master files. Either the original files have accidentally been deleted and are missing or the internal databases of the iPhoto library need repairing or rebuilding.
Have you moved your iPhoto library to a different drive or accused it by other programs? Run any cleaning applications?
Back up your iPhoto library and try if repairing or rebuilding the library can reconnect the originals.
Launch the iPhoto's library first aid tools:
Hold down the key combination⌥⌘ (alt/option-command) .
Double click the iPhoto icon to launch iPhoto.
Keep holding down both the keys, until the "Library First Aid" panel opens.
Select "Repair database" from the panel.
If that does not help, try the next option "Rebuild Database".
And if all fails, try rebuilding with iPhoto Library Manager as described by Old Toad (Fix 2): Re: iPhoto 9 crashes when upgrading library
