Stipr Sets with Apple Disk Utility DU

We have installed a Raid System with two Raid Volumes, partitioned into 2 spaces, striped together as Stripe Level0. After expanding the two Volumes trough adding new disks, we will have two new Bigger Raid Volumes which can the DU see, but the two Stripe Sets based on the two new bigger Volumes will have the same size we had before!
I can remember that we have done the same in Panther, which was running fine,
after expanding we have the same Partitiones like before, just bigger!
How to solve the problem without Backup 2TB, restriping it again etc.???
G5 PCIx   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Atto/ Driver 3.0

You cannot assume that someone else reading your post is as familiar with your problem as you are.
If you make the message clearer someone may be able to help you.
Good luck.

    Hi,
    I have a grey screen and grey rotating wheel startup probs. I have tried repairing with the disk utility, resetting PRAM, booting in safe mode (which gave a subset of the errors that 'disk repair' did- namely- 'invalid sibling link,invalid record count, invalid node structure, invalid key length)  and finally trying to get to archive&install the o/s, but it cannot find the destination volume. Is an erase the only option? PS I have backed up most files individually, but my daughter did not back up any from her user account. Any help would be appreciated. J

  • Apple Disk Utility made thing substantially WORSE!

    Our Powerbook 1.67 Ghz 15" Aluminum wouldn't run iCal (it quit unexpectedly) so we ran Apple Disk Utility. It said it couldn't verify so ran repair, then - 1 HFS volume checked couldn't be repaired. After this the computer would not run at all! Gray Apple screen with spinner until shutdown. Bought Apple tech support and went through all options of restarting with option button, etc, etc. Tried to do target disk something or another with fire wire between desktop and powerbook, that didn't work. HDD doesn't show as destination in utility "startup". They eventually said "All is Lost". What gives here? The thing was running fine, except for iCal, I ran Disk Repair - and now ALL is Lost? How can this be? Any advise GREATLY appreciated. We have family and business photos that number in the thousands at risk.

    I agree, Disk Utility didn't kill your hard drive. The fact that it said it could not repair the disk says there is a problem that is more complex than Disk Utility can handle. Often, programs like Disk Warrior are one option used to fix those problems Disk Utility can't fix. You may want to try that. If Disk Warrior can't fix it, then you'll need to use a data recovery service to pull the data off. If you don't have one, buy a firewire backup (Powerbooks can only boot from a firewire device) to use with your replacement hard drive. One example might be http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/on-the-go . SuperDuper is a good backup program: http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
    Do you have OS X CDs that you can boot from? Insert the first one and boot holding the C key down. That should boot to the CD. Pull up Disk Utility from the Utilities on the menu bar. First, what does it say for SMART status? If it's anything but verified, there's a pretty serious problem on the hard drive, as in close to failing. If it says verified, nothing has tripped the SMART sensors. Run disk utility and repair the disk ... does it still say it can't be repaired? If so, proceed as above.
    Replacement hard drive would be a 2.5" parallel ATA interface hard drive. Serial ATA or SATA hard drives won't work in our Powerbooks. New drives mostly come in 5400rpm speed, some are slower and there's no reason to buy them.

    Unless you tell us what it is telling you we can't help.

  • Always have Permission Errors running Apple Disk Utility

    I always have Permissions errors when running Apple Disk Utility. Even after a clean install (and restore of User prefs using Time Capsule).
    Most of the errors are "Repaired" but are still there if I "Repair Permissions" immediately again.
    Is this a problem that I can just ignore of should I try and rid my system of them?
    For example:   
    Permissions differ on “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Support/Rem ote Desktop Message.app/Contents/Resources/pl.lproj/UIAgent.nib”; should be -rw-r--r-- ; they are drw-r--r-- .
    Repaired “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Support/Rem ote Desktop Message.app/Contents/Resources/pl.lproj/UIAgent.nib”
    The above error will still be there if I re-repair.

    You can just ignore them all.

  • My mac can't find the volume" Data" on Time Capsule. Also Ican't find with the disk utility program the hard disk in the Time Capule; so I can't format the disk again. What can I do?

    So I can't format the disk in the Time Capsule
    Deconnevt and then connecting the power tp the Time Capsule gives also no solution.
    What can I do?
    Joe

    I listed the commands.. that is how you manually mount the disk.. follow exactly the commands I gave you.
    In finder use top menu, go, connect to server.
    Type in the following.
    AFP://TCname or AFP://TCIpaddress (obviously you replace with the actual name or the actual IP address).
    If that fails..
    try
    SMB://TCname
    Here is the screenshot.
    tardis4 being the name of my TC.
    It should then ask you for your credentials.
    And it should remember them in the keychain and be able to then get TM to connect.

  • Can you help with automator & disk utility?

    I'm trying to set up an automated "permissions repair" to run every night. I set up a workflow using automator and saved it as an iCal item. If I double-click on the resulting .app, or run from Automator, the workflow works as I expected, but all I find in the morning is an open Disk Utility with no repair performed & no error messages. Examining the log file confirms that nothing happened except the launch.
    Here's what the wf does: Launch Application-Disk Utility, Watch Me Do-Click in the text "Macintosh HD" Click the "Repair DIsk Permissions" button, Pause-for 10 seconds, Play QuicKeys Shortcut-(types admin username, tab, admin password, enter).
    Like I said, works just fine except when iCal runs it. What am I doing wrong?

    ..."I'm trying to set up an automated "permissions repair" to run every night."...
    As others have mentioned, it shouldn't be necessary to "repair permissions" every night.
    And if you are an administrator in charge computers used in a shared environment (eg. schools, libraries, a shared machine in a work place, etc.), I would go further and say that "repair permissions" should definitely not be run at all without verifying them first to make sure everything checks out, and certainly should not be automated unless some sort of verification routine is included.
    With Leopard's version of "repair permissions", failure to exercise sufficient caution could allow even "standard" users to gain "root" level privileges.

  • Formatting With The Disk Utility?

    Hi! Is anyone having good success using Leopard's disk utility? I was trying to partition on the fly with little success (getting the message that it had to be OSX Extended journaled-which it was already) so I decided to erase using case sensitive journaled with no other options selected. It was a 120 gig drive and now after 4 1/2 hours I'm beginning to think it's doing a zero data option. Needless to say the disk utility's status bar isn't much help either. Tom

    Hope this link helps. This should also apply to Leopard.

  • Drive imaging with Apples 'disk utility'.

    If I open the Disk Utility in my Utilities folder, I notice that I can create images of the various partitions on my internal drive. In fact I've already created a few images, just to use as backups. However, quite early on, I installed Windows (via Boot Camp) and it wasn't long before I realised that it's not a good idea to tamper with a Boot Camped drive (at least, not using Apple's own utility - Coriolis's iPartition seems to be better at messing with partitions, if the drive has been Boot camped). So although I've saved a few partition images, I've never had the courage to try and restore one!
    But today I realised that the Disk Utility can (apparently) produce a image of the whole drive - presumably complete with it's existing partition layout. I'm guessing that this would be reasonably safe to restore, since the entire partition layout would hopefully be preserved intact.
    1) Firstly, has anyone here ever created an image of their internal drive with two or more partitions? If so, did you manage to restore it successfully - either to the same drive or some other drive?
    2) Secondly, assuming that this works, how would I go about restoring such an image to my internal hard drive? I assume I'd need to boot up from a DVD or something because obviously, I can't go around erasing the partition table on my internal drive, if OS-X is currently running from it!
    I know there are some other utilities (e.g. Coriolis's iPartition) that can run from a DVD. I assume they must install a bootable version of OS-X onto it. So is there an easy way to create a bootable version of OS-X on CD or DVD?

    johne53 wrote:
    But of course, if I'm going to resort to Boot Camp (plus a completely fresh Windows installation, plus re-activation and everything else that entails) I'm already into a procedure that's considerably more complex than just restoring an entire drive image in one fell swoop.
    Which brings me back to my original question... is it possible to create an OS-X "rescue disk" - i.e. a CD or DVD that can boot the basic OS, without needing to load anything from the internal drive?
    In case anyone else is curious about doing this, two of the stages succeeed but one fails....
    1) Success.... Yes it's possible to create an image of your entire drive, with all partitions. And it's not a lengthy process. My (500GB) internal drive took around 30 mins to image (though to be fair, only about 40GB of space is used, across all the partitions). The image gets compressed along the way and in my case, ended up as a single image file of around 19GB. Therefore, be careful what you save it to.... several file systems have a maximum file size of only 4GB!
    2) Another success.... Yes, it's possible to boot from the OS-X install disk. By pressing 'C' during bootup, you'll end up with a basic, but workable system, including the Disk Utility app.
    3) But now for the downside.... No, it isn't possible to restore the image you created above. Disk Utility will only let you select an existing volume (i.e. a partition) as the restore destination. You can't select the physical drive as your destination and nor (bizarrely) can you restore to unallocated space.
    So AFAICT there is no utility currently available (either for OS-X or Windows) which can back up a Boot Camped hard drive and restore the partitions in such a way that both OS-X and Windows will both be bootable. Nor -with a small caveat - can this currently be achieved with any combination of products. SuperDuper will work for the OS-X partition. WinClone claims to work for the Windows partition - but only as long as you don't compress the backup image. However at the time of writing, WinClone is no longer officially supported. Lack of support and lack of compression effectively make it too risky and too unwieldy to use, IMHO.
    If I ever find a combination of products that can achieve this I'll post the information here - but don't hold your breath..!

  • Apple Disk Utility message

    Hi all,
    I opened Apple's Disk Utility, chose "Macintosh HD," and clicked "Verify Disk."  No more than 1 minute into the Verify, I got a message (in red) in the Show Details output box saying "Incorrect number of file hard links."
    Before I boot from the OS X Recovery HD (command-r) and try to fix it with Apple's Disk Utility, I was wondering if anyone had any insight about the message I got. My HD is not experiencing any problems.
    MacBookPro8,3. OS X 10.8.3.

    Thanks birmingham for responding to my post. I think the problem i encountered is more common than i at first thought, so i'm gonna sum up what i learned.
    Sometimes, when upgrading the OS a full dot point -- 10.7. to 10.8. for example -- via Mac Application Store, the User will get an error saying, " Incorrect number of file hard links" when running apple's Disk Utility. The error is an "inode" error -- look it up at wikipedia. The solution is simple enough: Don't freak out and run apple's Disk Utility from the Recovery HD (command-r).  Don't use DiskWarrior, Drive Genius, TechTool Pro, or anything other than apple's Disk Utility. Also no need to reinstall the OS or anything like that.
    hope this helps someone in the future,
    jim
    she's from birmingham, way down in alabam.  whoa black betty. BAM-BA-LAM.

  • Problems with startup, disk utility, everything else (it seems)

    So I've been having problems with my iMac for about a week (I believe I'm running OSX 10.5 with whatever the most recent update is) (also, it's a 24" that I bought refurbed last October). I kept getting the ?file screen upon startup, but eventually it would start just fine.
    I thought I managed to start and restart in safe-boot yesterday, but now I'm not so sure.
    This morning I tried to do a Disk Utility from the install disk, only I'm a bit confused. This is supposed to find the hard drive, right? so I can do the tests to it and hopefully fix whatever problem there is? Because the utility was only finding the install disk, and then that got stuck and won't even eject (this is where I stopped because I had to leave for work). And when the install to where screen came up, there were no options for where to install the OS.
    I haven't been able to get anywhere to run the hardware test or do a safe-boot or any of those options. I also have not yet called Apple or taken the mac into a store.
    So I am starting to think that perhaps my hard drive is screwed. Am I right, or are there other things I should try first? (And if anyone has any suggestions for how to get that install disk to eject, I'd love to hear them--every time I tried that from the Disk Utility screen, I got an error.)

    Hello b:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    To eject the disk, restart the computer while holding the mouse button down.
    The rest of it sounds like hardware, but without being able to boot from the software install DVD, I cannot think of a way to go further. I would take the computer to an Apple store for diagnosis.

  • Can't format HDD with Leopard Disk Utility

    I have two identical drives P/N: WD 7500AAK (Western Digital 750GB MyBook (USB)). I formatted one drive using 'Disk Utility' under Tiger with a Volume Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with no problem. I am now trying to format the other drive under Lepoard and the formatting fails 100% of the time. The drive will format to Fat16, but not to the desired Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Unfortunately I no longer have a computer with the Tiger OS. Any idea what is going wrong? The drive is useless if I can't format it.

    Try partitioning the drive GUID before formatting it. This article explains how to format a drive for Time Machine. Once you have gotten rid of the Master Boot Record you should be able to reformat the drive the way you want.
    One poster reported that zeroing out a Maxtor did not get rid of the Master Boot Record but I don't know if that would necessarily be true for a WD drive.

  • Using Apple "Disk Utility" to partition a disk drive

    I have seen some incorrect info on the forums about partitioning disks.
    You CAN do this with Disk Utility.
    To do this will erase the new partitions you create, so BE CAREFUL.
    To partition a disk, start Disk Utility and click on the DRIVE (not Volume) you want to partition.
    The DRIVEs are the icons all the way on the left side of the Disk/Volume window area.
    If you click on a Drive, the PARTITION tab will appear. Click on it and it's pretty self-explanatory.
    Good luck.

    It looks like the mountable image option only applies to NTFS partitions. The preferences interface does not show a choice for FAT32.

  • SD Card not mounting with Yosemite, Disk Utility Yes, Finder No

    Hi Everyone!
    mid-2012 15" rMBP
    2.7 GHz i7
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Yosemite 10.10
    Installed Yosemite about 2 weeks ago.  So far things have been fine.
    Just this morning tried reading a Nikon formatted Sony Class 10 (40MB/s) 16 GB SD card through the internal SD card reader - and nothing happened.  After some poking around I noticed that the SD card is recognized by both the Disk Utility and the System Software, but not by Finder.  The SD card will not mount.
    It is not the SD card because it will mount on my buddies MBP running Mavericks (I had to upload the photos through Dropbox off his MBP).
    I have already tried resetting both the PRAM and the SMC - it did not change anything.  The system would still not mount the SD Card.
    Here is the interesting thing.  I have taken an old Class 4 8GB SD card which also wasn't being recognized and using Disk Utility, reformatted from MS DOS FAT to EXFat.  Now Finder will in fact mount the drive.  However, my Nikon or other devices will not accept an ExFAT formatted SD Card.
    Check this out:
    Anyone have any ideas?
    THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
