To Journal Or Not To Journal An External FW HD ?

I have always journaled my FW HDs.
However, I notice in this article by Ken Stone, it says HDs should NOT be journaled unless they are going to be used as a boot volume.
What are the pros and cons for this?
Ian.

Thanks Piero.
Everything I have read up to now has recommended journaling.
This afternoon I noticed what you said in the Ken Stone article, but he doesn't give a reason.
I like people to tell me what to do and then explain why - just like in Tom's books.
Ian.

    Who is the builder of the external enclosure?
    What type of interface does the external drive have USB2, USB3, Firewire 400, Firewire 800, thunderbolt?

  • When I back up my library, the pictures do not go to my external HD as albums/pastes, they are copied all together, so I have to arrange one by one to get all organized. It takes too long. Is there any option to organize it automatically? Thanks

    If you backup correctly to a correctly formatted drive (Mac OS extended (journaled)  )then everything can be restored exactly as it was prir to the backup
    How exactly are you "backing up"?

  • Cannot add hub-managed content type with external list lookup columns to a list -- Error:Id field is not set on the external data field

    This is a variation on the issue mentioned in this
    post
    We are using SP 2010 Content Hub to manage our content types.  On the content hub we've created a couple of exteranl lists, and then created some site columns as lookups against these lists.  We then added the columns to one of our content types
    and set it to publish.
    After the publishing job executed, I tried adding the content type (which now appears on the subscriber sites) to one of the document libraries on one of the subscriber sites.  When I did that it threw the following error:
    Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.BusinessDataListConfigurationException: Id field is not set on the external data field

    I checked the external  content type configuration and it did specify an "id column".  Anyone know if what I am attempting to do is possible and if so, what special configurations are required?
    Thanks

    The issue is not External Content type or external list but the look up column.
    It's not possible to publish a look up column via the Content Type Hub.
    If you need to do this then an alternate way is to use a Managed Metadata column instead, otherwise you will have to implement this via a feature.

  • I upgraded to Maverick and now Time Machine will not connect to the external hard drive to back up files.  The external hard drive is a Western Digital "My Book Live" 2 TB.  How do I solve problem?

    I upgraded to Maverick and now Time Machine will not connect to the external hard drive to back up files.  The external hard drive is a Western Digital "My Book Live" 2 TB.  How do I solve problem?

    I also had problem accessing my WD MyBookLive after upgrading to Maverick.
    To resolve the problem, I used  Connect To Server (Cmd K) to specify the IP address.
    Then I enter a user id and password I created in the MyBookLive.
    You can also verify that you have admin access to the MyBookLive using Safari or Chrome.
    Just enter the MyBookLive IP address as the URL.

  • My computer was totally destroyed & I do not have backup or external hard drive with my iTunes library. Will I be able to access my iTunes library when I purchase a new computer? It was the only computer authorized to play library.

    My computer was totally destroyed & I do not have backup or external hard drive with my saved iTunes library from it. That was the only computer authorized to play library. I do not have an iPod or iPhone with any of that library (which has over $2K in music purchases & over 5K in songs I ripped). Will I be able to access my iTunes library when I purchase a new computer?

    You should be able to access your past iTunes purchases. You'll need to re-rip your CDs See: HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.
    See also this backup tip so you don't get caught out again.

    Reinstall MacFuse with the one from http://www.tuxera.com/mac/macfuse-core-10.5-2.1.9.dmg. If that doesn't work, you can use Paragon NTFS for Mac 9.0 which has been designed to work with Lion.

  • Itunes will not store in an external hard drive

    I use an external hard drive to store my music.
    The last few CDs we have put onto itunes do not appear in the external hard drive, why?

    Hello compsec1951,
    It sounds like the content may have been saved in the default iTunes folder location in the Music folder.
    Use this article to determine how iTunes is setup and where it is saving the new content. While it may be accessing the library on the external drive, it may be saving new media to a different location.
    Where are my iTunes files located?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
    Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences.
    Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    Click the Advanced pane. iTunes displays the location of your iTunes Media folder.
    You can then:
    Note where your media folder is, such as for backing up your media.
    Use the Reset button to reset it's location to the default (which is the iTunes folder).
    Click the Change button to select a folder for a new location. Once you change this location:
    If you make a new or alternate iTunes library, the new location will be used by that library.
    Existing files will not be moved unless you choose File > Library > Organize library and choose the option to "Consolidate files."
    Regards,
    Sterling
