USB disk size decrease

Ok well i do both programming and video editing which means i have to touch the devil OS at times which means using my USB pen between OSX and "windows" quite alot, the other day i noticed it was 1.4mb as the capacity instead of 256mb usual, i decided seeing i keep back ups that i would format it, it was in a windows pc so formated it there and just thought it would be fine but alas it wasnt so i formatted it in disk utilty today on my mac and still no change.
Could somebody tell me what is wrong and it its posible to fix it?
Thanks

  • Disk Utility hangs attempting to erase SimpleTech 100gb external USB disk

    I'm attempting to erase and format a SimpleTech 100gb external USB disk. Disk Utility hangs. The system error log says:
    "AppleUSBEHCI[0x1d59000]::Found a transaction past the completion deadline on bus 91, timing out!
    Jul 21 17:30:35 Kari-Hohnbaums-Computer-2 kernel[0]: USBF:"
    The console log (and Disk Utility log) shows:
    Preparing to erase : “PBEX1”
    Creating Partition Map
    error writing partition map: Device not configured (6)
    Disk Erase failed with the error:
    What is the problem? This disk is recognized by Tiger but only as read-only as it ships as an NTFS volume and must be erased and reformatted before it can be used by a MAC.
    All help appreciated.

    I tried the partition approach and it unfortunately failed as well. The same "hung" symptoms as before. The green light (disk activity) on the disk flashed several times at the initial request, but that was all. I eventually interrupted it after a hourn which generated the same system log message: AppleUSBEHCI[0x1d59000]::Found a transaction past the completion deadline on bus 91, timing out!
    The disk utility log says:

    I don't have easy access to a Window's box. I do have access to a Linux system. Perhaps I can configure it there and it will work on my PB.

  • USB disk won't mount on startup (have tried everything)

    Hi!
    I'm having big problems getting my USB disk to mount on startup.:(
    It used to work perfectly by having 'mount /dev/sdc1 /media/disk' in rc.local (and umount in local.shutdown) but recently it started saying that 'filesystem type must be defined' (or something like that). So I changed the line to 'mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc1 /media/disk' but now I get a message that '/dev/sdc1 does not exist'.
    So I decided to get this fixed in fstab once and for all.
    I checked the designations of the disks with 'fdisk -l' and noticed that the USB disk would alternate between /dev/sdc, /dev/sde and /dev/sdd quite random on every reboot. In other words I couldn't mount it in fstab by using one of those paths cause I'd get the same problem with '/dev/sdc or -e or -d does not exist'. I figured the sollution must be to mount the disk by using UUID. I checked the uuid's and got the following (as you can see the USB disk is on this reboot registered as '/dev/sde'):
    bash-3.2$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
    total 0
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2009-02-07 11:56 6cf5e803-429a-44c3-bcf9-0f007df623f3 -> ../../sda1

    I other words the UUID of the disk should be '94911fb3-def7-4440-b6a5-5e09f91b19f6' so I added that to the fstab file, but I still get the same error that the disk doesn't exist. How is this possible? Isn't the UUID supposed to be the same no matter what? When the disk is clearly labeled with this UUID every time I check it why can't it be used in fstab??
    Here's my fstab (I've commented out the lines that I've been trying out):
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information
    # <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
    none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
    /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
    /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
    /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
    /dev/sda2 / ext3 defaults 0 1
    /dev/sda3 /var reiserfs defaults 0 1
    /dev/sda4 /home ext3 defaults 0 1
    /dev/sdb1 /extra ext3 defaults 0 1
    #/dev/sdc1 /media/disk defaults 0 0
    #UUID=94911fb3-def7-4440-b6a5-5e09f91b19f6 /media/disk defaults 0 0
    What am I doing wrong here? I've also tried to use different options like 'rw,auto,exec' but it won't work.

    It seems I'm able to mount the disk from the terminal by doing '# sudo mount UUID=94911fb3-def7-4440-b6a5-5e09f91b19f6 /media/disk'.
    But this only works when I do it manually. Adding 'mount UUID=94911fb3-def7-4440-b6a5-5e09f91b19f6 /media/disk' to rc.local only gives the error that filesystem must be defined and when it's defined I get the error that device is not found.
    How can it work manually, but not in fstab or rc.local?
    Here's my dmesg:

  • My Airport disconnects randomly when USB disk is attached..HELP NEEDED !!!!

    My Airport Extreme disconnects randomly when USB disk is attached, I have searched this forum but found now obvious solution.
    The Airport Extreme has the latest firmware.
    Since the airdisk solution is quite useless at this time, I would kindly accept any kind of help .....thanks
    Sieber

    Len61 got my reply, I have copied below.
    Hi - I have been on the phone with support 4X since late December - all good calls. They have been scratching their heads on this issue.
    I have 2 printers and 2 drives on the airport -recent experieinces = printers have always behaved, drives have appeared / vanished / "drive needs repair" and it's just fine...
    Cutting out the interim fixes, here are the simple but important solutions and everything has been stable for days now.
    * rolled back to AEBS firmware 7.1.1
    * replaced the passive USB hub with a powered hub ** This is when joy arrived
    * make sure your drive has a block size of 512
    You can run guest mode however you want, since adding the new hub, it hasn't mattered.
    I haven't been brave enough to upgrade firmware to 7.2.1
    cheers

  • How do I grow an HFS partition on an external USB disk?

    I have a USB disk, MBR partitioned, with one ext4 and one HFS+ partition. There is 250GB of unpartitioned space following the HFS+ partition, into which I'd like to grow for Time Machine use.
    bash-3.2# diskutil list
    -snip-
    /dev/disk1
       #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
       0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *1.0 TB     disk1
       1:                      Linux Backup                  549.1 GB   disk1s1
       2:                  Apple_HFS Mackup                  233.1 GB   disk1s2
    -snip-
    diskutil refuses to touch the partition, probably because it's MBR ("FDisk") partitioned:
    bash-3.2# diskutil resizeVolume disk1s2 limits
    Error obtaining resizing information (is this a Mac OS 9 compatible "wrapped" HFS volume?)
    How am I going to fix this? Assuming I am unable to copy the contents of my HFS partition to another temporary place.
    Thanks

    I replaced my MBR with a GPT partition table using gdisk on Linux.
    Now diskutil correctly identifies it as GPT:
    /dev/disk2
       #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
       0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *1.0 TB     disk2
       1:       Microsoft Basic Data Backup                  549.1 GB   disk2s1
       2:                  Apple_HFS Mackup                  233.1 GB   disk2s2
    however it still refuses to touch it
    bash-3.2# diskutil resizeVolume disk2s2 limits
    Error obtaining resizing information (is this a Mac OS 9 compatible "wrapped" HFS volume?)

  • Cannot  mount USB disk in SIngle-user mode (solaris 10)

    Hi all ,
    I need some help please :
    I can read/write to my USB disks when i'm in muti-user mode but when to I swith to single-user mode ( init S ), I cannot mount it.
    in Single-user mode , i started volume management daemon :
    #/etc/init.d/volgmt start
    #volcheck
    but i'm still not able to mount it.
    I tried to mount manually:
    #mount /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0 /testpoint , i have this error: < mount : not a UFS magic number ( 0x0) , dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0 is not of this fstype.
    My system recognizes the USB device though in single-user mode:
    This is an output of #iostat -En
    c2t0d0 Soft Errors: 1 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0
    Vendor: BUFFALO Product: ClipDrive Revision: 2.00 Serial No:

    Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0
    Illegal Request: 1 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0

    Hi ,
    thanks for your advice. My problem is resolved.
    The USB drive was actually a FAT filesystem.
    so I did # mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0:c /testpoint and everything went fine
    I can read/write to my USB disks when i'm in
    muti-user mode but when to I swith to single-user
    mode ( init S ), I cannot mount it.
    in Single-user mode , i started volume management
    daemon :
    /etc/init.d/volgmt start
    #volcheck
    but i'm still not able to mount it.It probably requires other items to be started
    first.
    I tried to mount manually:
    #mount /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0 /testpoint , i have
    this
    error: < mount : not a UFS magic number ( 0x0) ,
    dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0 is not of this fstype.
    Looks like it's assuming UFS. If this is a pcfs
    filesystem, give it the type on the mount line.
    # mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0 /testpointYeah, this was the right command, I had to specify option < -F pcfs >.
    but I read somethere on this forum i had to specify :c as the drive for FAT at the end of c2t0d0p0 , so the full command was:
    # mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0:c /testpoint

  • Performance of WRT610N (v1) with attached USB disk

    Greetings, I've had my WRT610N for a while now and have had no complaints on performance.  Over this past weekend, however, I attached a USB disk to it (cheaper than adding a NAS).  I can mount it without problem on my Vista box, but it seems that when the disk is being accessed (read or write), I get severe performance degradation on my network connection.  Severe enough to render the network unusable.
    Is this to be expected?  Is there a setting in the firmware that will prioritize network activity over disk activity?
    The PCs in question are wired and the router is running the latest firmware (1.00.03.15).  The disk (previously formatted on my computer) is NTFS.  If there are any other pertinent pieces of information, please let me know.
    Thanks.
    Message Edited by msfeinstein on 10-05-2009 04:27 PM

    Try reducing the MTU size to 1300 on the router's GUI and check if the problem resolve...If not then,try upgrading/reflashing the router's firmware and reconfigure it from the scratch....

  • TC restoring from a USB disk

    I have a problem trying to restore from a USB drive.
    The setup is simple with 2 disks (La Cie) connected to the TC and backing up as planned, at least I can find all files in TM so should be working.
    One disk is holding all music file, appox. 100GB. I lost some music files so I wanted to restore.
    Restore starts up and ask whether I want to "keep original" "Keep both" or "replace" the folder. Problem is no matter what i do the following message comes up
    +The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “Music Content” can’t be read or written. (Error code -36)+
    That is regardless which drive I want to recover to, I even make the "Music Content" folder unique but same result.
    I hope somebody have an idea on how to recover my data from TC, in the mean time I try whatever I can figure out

    Hi Podini,
    Thank you for your answer.
    I did all the stuff you have mentioned in your guides, before asking. Your guide is excellent as you cover the issues not described anywhere else, as setting up and running a TC is not really flawless. I had 3 crashes since I bought it a few years ago. But this issue was new.
    I did just found a solution, of cause not ideal at all but it works.
    1. Instead of recovering to the USB drive I recovered to my harddisk (desktop) -with "recover to.." after securing the size of the recovery files was not take more space than what I have on my HD.
    2. Then move the USB drive to the laptop and copy over to the USB.
    3. Then move the USB back to the TC and make a recover of the desktop again.
    etc. etc.
    I tried to recover to another USB disk connected to the TC, but that took forever, worked but slow.
    I had to do it in 4 steps as I did not have 100GB space on my laptop HD.
    It is not ideal but works, which is of cause the main purpose.
    I really like the TC but it does takes a bit of insight to get it up running and utilizing everything. It could be nice if setup software was more clear and comprehensive. As there is a lot of good and relevant questions in this forum.
    Thanks again and hope you can use my solition

  • Aperture Library on External USB disk

    Hello
    My internal, 250GB disk on my iMac is almost full.
    Are there any performance / reliability issues I should be aware of of moving my 50GB aperture library to an external USB disk ??
    I don't use time machine to back it up - just the aperture vaults. I would probably back it up to a second external USB drive.
    Any help much appreciated.
    Andrew

    USB2 is a poor connectivity method for hard drives on Macs, adequate for backup where speed is unimportant but bad news for a Library. Aperture performance is largely about the Library, so you want it on a relatively unfilled internal drive, definitely not on an external USB drive.
    Hard drives slow as they fill above 40% or so. Take enough data off the internal drive to maintain at least 100 GB free space and keep the Aperture Library on the internal drive with Referenced Masters on external drives.
    In the future buy large hard drives (currently the 1 TB size is cost effective) that have multiple connectivity methods that include Firewire800 and eSATA. One good source is OWC: <http://www.owcomputing.com/>.
    Good luck!

  • Disk utility gives "Error: Partition map repair failed while adjusting structures to fit current whole disk size"

    I am getting the following error when running Disk Utility (under ML) on an exteral USB hard drive:
    Error: Partition map repair failed while adjusting structures to fit current whole disk size.
    I get thsi when I ask Disk Utility to "Repair Disk" at the top level of the disk hierarchy (i.e. not on one of the partitions within the disk but on the disk itself).  I was not getting this error with Lion on the same disk before I upgraded from Lion to ML.
    It seems like a bug in ML.  I found websites where they suggest that you just run Lion's Disk Utility and it will show the disk to be fine.
    Any thoughts?

    So, I finally seemed to have resolved things with the Seagate 4TB Firewire external drive.  If you Google about, you will find a thread on Seagate's own support forum that describes how to disable the sleep function on the drive.  You CANNOT ALLOW THE DRIVE TO SLEEP WHILE CONNECTED TO YOUR MAC.
    After a lot of reading, here's what I think is happening: the drive goes to sleep, after some period of inactivity, and when you shutdown your Mac, OS X tries to write something to the drive as part of the dismount / disconnect / shutdown process.  That fails in some manner, leaving the drive 'corrupted' at the filesystem or partition level.
    Then, on the next boot-up, Mountain Lion tells you that it cannot repair the drive and it mounts as read only.  Your only fix at that point is to re-partition / re-format and start over (which is big fun with 3TB of data to copy back on to the drive).
    If you prevent the drive from sleeping, whenever it's connected to the MacBook, then the above process doesn't occur and voila, the drive just works.  So far, I haven't had any problems with about a week of starting / shutting down my MacBook connected to the offending drive (translation: I was going to return the drive, but the problem is clearly with Mac OS X Mountain Lion).

  • Adding USB disk

    I am having trouble getting my 802.11n AEBS to recognize my USB disk drive. I am using a Buffalo Drive Station which I have formatted as HFS+. I will almost never see the drive when I first power it on without restarting the AEBS. Even then it only sees it some of the time. When it does see it, the data transfers to it are so slow as to be unuseable (sometimes as slow a 100kBps or less). I noticed that Apple posted a page saying the AEBS only supports USB drives with a block size of 512 bytes. Does anyone know how to tell what the block size is? I can't find it in any of the documentation. Could this be why I am having trouble with this disk drive?

    I have a similar problem, so maybe this can get answered at the same time.
    I hooked up my Maxtor 1TB in Fat 32 and it won't work. I can see the drive, but the files are not accessable. For instance, when I click on my iTunes folder on that drive, it starts to list the files, then after a second, goes blank and at the bottom says "0 items, 41GB available".
    I hooked up my Lacie 500GB supposedly in "AppleShare" or "Windows Sharing" or "SMB/CIFS" (are these drive formats?!?) and this drive works beautifully.
    Do I have a) too many files? Or b) AEx has limited/no Fat 32 capability? Or c) something I'm overlooking?
    Also, since my 1TB drive is packed, I'd have to buy another one to reformat!!!

  • Damaged partition on USB disk. Please help me reconstruct it.

    Hello,
    I have a Seagate 2TB USB 3.0 disk that suddenly has stopped working under Mac OS X Mavericks. The system won't recognise it. The funny thing is that if I attach the disk to my QNAP NAS, the disk is seen just fine by the OS. I've read multiple websites with similar experiences; it seems to me as if the Mac OS X isn't as permisive as linux OS... and boy, is that annoying
    I came across this article: http://perrohunter.com/repair-a-mac-os-x-hfs-partition-table/#comment-4644 . I must say that I got my hopes high when I started reading the post, because I felt it described my very same situation. Unfortunatelly, when I got to step #8, Mavericks would complain about the resource being busy, thus getting me stuck in there
    When the disk is hooked up on my NAS, I can see the data just fine. I just want to be able to mount the disk one last time under OS X in order to transfer all the Time Machine backups I have there...

    Yeah I'm not sure the problem is partition related at all. It might be file system corruption that OS X's fsck sees but can't fix, while it goes unnoticed on the NAS. But then this message is confusing:

    May 21 21:30:25 macminiserver kernel[0]: disk3s1: media is not present.
    When it's connected, what result do you get for 'diskutil list' is the drive in question listed? And if so what do you get for 'diskutil verifydisk /dev/diskX'? Use diskX not diskXsY.
    diskutil list displays the disk and partition just fine:
    macminiserver:~ marc$ diskutil list

    The disk in quesiton is the one in red. The rest of disks and partitions are system disks (Fusion Drive); they are not relevant.
    The result I get when I attempt to verify the disk is rather annoying given that I pretty much had assumed it did not contain any GPT scheme:
    macminiserver:~ marc$ diskutil verifydisk /dev/disk5
    Unable to verify this whole disk: A GUID Partition Table (GPT) partitioning scheme is required (-69773)
    I thought this could also help shed some light on the issue:

  • USB disk access of every type is hosed - HELP!?

    Newbie with the very latest "Don't Panic" running on a laptop.  I'm coming off a year with various bloateddistros, looking for something fast and stable.
    I've got my internal drive up, networking, x, gnome and openoffice all working great.  Next step is to plug in my external 160gig drive with all my data on it.  This is a very standard USB2-to-EIDE drive, I've had no problems with it in any distro.  It's split between a 32gig FAT32 partition and a 119gig Ext3.
    I followed the wiki on autofs.  Nothing.  Then played with HAL and the like.  Made my user a member of group "storage".  Still nothing.
    I've seen mount problems before of course, so I tried adding gparted via pacman and running that from a root command line just to see what's physically out there.  Not good: gparted never finishes getting past the "Scanning all devices....." process with the blue bar bouncing back and forth.  When gparted first starts I can hear the external disk spin up and chug for a few seconds, but then nothing.
    I tried a 1gig USB flash critter (probably Fat32), nothing there either.  I think something is fundamentally hosed in my USB disk support.  I do have a USB external trackball working though...so my ports are up.
    My daemons at present:
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond ntpd hal cups gdm alunnd)
    Heeeelp!  Neeeed my daaaata!
    Wait, something else weird: if I turn on the external disk I see some CPU activity on my gnome panel monitor.  Nothing major, a few light spikes.  I've got a Celeron 1.6 but with the new 533 memory bus and 2gigs RAM.  Once I run gparted it goes bananas and then once I close gparted CPU activity is pegged hard at 100% - yet there's no listed process eating that.  Then when I turn off the external drive, CPU activity falls back to normal.
    WTF, over?

    Well before reading Veek's post I got further along.  Almost there I think.
    I went and loaded XFCE4 plus extras, and logged in with a XFCE session.  I like having a backup desktop environment anyways in case Gnome gets squirrelly.
    In XFCE Thunar shows the disks, but when I try and access 'em I get:
    Failed to mount "128G Volume".
    (exo-mount:4613): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.
    You are not privileged to mount the volume "128G Volume".
    What I can't figure out is, what permissions?  I'm added to groups "storage" and "disks"...any more needed?
    The output from fdisk -l:
    bash-3.2$ fdisk -l

    I'm going to jump back to Gnome and try Veek's concepts...

  • Disk size in Solaris 10

    I have some confusion about disk subsystem in Solaris, i am trying to clarify from this forum.
    I have recently installed Solaris 10 in one SPARC box. After i installed, the format gives the bellow output.
    0 root wm 19491 - 29648 4.88GB (10158/0/0) 10239264
    1 swap wu 0 - 4062 1.95GB (4063/0/0) 4095504
    2 backup wm 0 - 29648 14.25GB (29649/0/0) 29886192
    From the above output, is the size of my disk is 14 GB ?, or the size of my disk is 14+2+5=21 GB ?
    I am trying to learn ZFS, so i want another partition in this disk so that i create ZFS on that partition.
    I have gone to single user mode by using CD. I assumed that, from the above "format" command output, i thought i have 21GB of disk size and 14GB of free space. So i created another partition with 14GB. Now the format command gives bellow output.
    0 root wm 19491 - 29648 4.88GB (10158/0/0) 10239264
    1 swap wu 0 - 4062 1.95GB (4063/0/0) 4095504
    2 backup wm 0 - 29648 14.25GB (29649/0/0) 29886192
    3 reserved wm 0 - 29127 14.00GB (29128/0/0) 29361024
    When i am creating ZFS, it given me a warning that the the partition i have specified is spanned into root partition (first partition), and it mentioned to use "-f" option.
    With "-f", it created successfully.
    If i assume now that the size of my disk is 14GB only then,
    (1) how come two partitions are pointing to the same area in the disk ?
    (2) How come two different filesystems are pointing to the same area ?
    Please anyone clarify my doubts. Thank you.

    Assuming a standard labeled disk it is standrad practice to have section/slice 2 being 'whole disk' for purposes of 'backup'. That would tend to indicate you have a 14GB disk. A prtvtoc /dev/dsk/c?t?d?s2 (change the ?s to the right values) will give a little more on the disk geometry.
    In the display from format column 4 is the start cylinder of the partition and column 5 is the end cylinder. From the first set out output it looks like cyclinders 4063 to 19490 are not allocated
    In the second set you have created a new slice (section 3) that overlaps both sections 0 and 1 - which is generally considered to be bad!
