Verify Volume Error

My dad verified the volume on his iMac running Leopard, and he got the following error;
Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Performing live verification.
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Missing thread record (id = 3416115)
Incorrect number of thread records
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.
Invalid volume file count
(It should be 733626 instead of 733627)
Checking Extended Attributes file.
Checking volume bitmap.
Checking volume information.
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.
We did a repair permissions after getting this error, and the error repeated when I verified the volume. Is this error something to be worried about? Thanks in advance for any help.

You need to use Repair Disk instead of Repair Disk Permissions. You can't repair the startup disk, so you will need to restart using your system installation DVD and run Disk Utility from the Installer menu. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417 for more detailed information.

Verify volume failed with error Could not unmount disk!!

Im having weird things with my fw lacie 200gb. I come across these weird white cubes which pop up in the search mode in finder. So i tried to repair permissions of the Lacie disc and i get this sign
Verify volume failed with error Could not unmount disk
What is this?
What are those white cubes in the finder?

Hi gizeh12!
Are you able to verify the volume of the disc (not permissions)? It could possibly be some bad/corrupt sectors on the drive. Is it a white box with a dashed line outline? Does the file size show the accurate value in "Get Info" when you click on the file?
Are those files somewhere else as well?

Disk utility verify drive error

When I run disk utility I receive the following error. In reading previous posts I discoverd that I needed to use the OSX install disk. So I get it showing in the utilities window on the left side and attempt to get disk utility running by following this path on the disk -- Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Double clicking disk utility has no result.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
The error when running verify disk from disk utility on the iMac:
Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Invalid node structure
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair

As Doug has said, & indeed you have tried....you need to run diskutility from the OS install disk. Or more accurately, you need to run diskutility when booted from the install disk.
The following ( from diskutility help) should explain it clearly.
Start up your computer using another disk.
To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc and restart your computer holding down the Option key, then select the Install Mac OS X disc and click the arrow.
Open Disk Utility.
If you're using the Mac OS X Install disk, follow the onscreen instructions until the menu bar appears with the Utilities menu in it., and then choose Utilities > Open Disk Utility.
Select the startup disk in the list of disks and volumes, then click First Aid.
Check the S.M.A.R.T. Status at the bottom of the window. If you can't see it, be sure you selected the hard disk your volume is on, and not the volume itself.
If the S.M.A.R.T. Status is "About to Fail," back up your files on the disk as soon as possible and replace the disk.
If the S.M.A.R.T. Status is "Verified" or "Not supported," click Repair Disk to repair the disk.
If Disk Utility tells you to look for links to corrupt files in the DamagedFiles directory, two or more files occupy the same space on your hard disk and at least one of them is likely to be corrupt. Examine each affected file in the DamagedFiles folder, which at the top-level of the affected disk. If you can replace it or recreate the file, delete it. If it contains necessary information, open it and examine its data to make sure it has not been corrupted.
If Disk Utility reports "The underlying task reported failure," Disk Utility encountered a problem it could not repair. Back up as much of your data as possible, reformat your disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and restore your backed up data.

Diskutil - Verify disk - error in log

Sorry for the long post.
I have a iMac Late 2012 with 1TB Fusion drive and been running Yosemite for the past several months. Installed Bootcamp to run Windows 7 and after couple of weeks later wanted to also install Mavericks for my development work as the software that I was trying to use doesn't support Yosemite yet. I tried to remove Bootcamp partition from Disk Utility but unable to do so as the "-" sign wasn't enabled.
Launched Terminal and used some Core Storage commands which messed my parititon I think. After doing this, I got kernel panics while rebooting. I booted into the Recovery HD partition and ran VerifyDisk from Disk Utility and one of the lines has this displayed in red:
Invalid Logical volume header @<some number>
The last line says "The drive appears to be OK". I tried to reinstall Yosemite from a bootable flash drive and to my dismay, the installer didn't list my 1TB Fusion drive. I called up support and have an appointment with Apple care next week.
Meanwhile, as a last resort, I checked on other forums and ran these commands from Terminal:
diskutil cs list
diskutil cs delete <core storage partition>
diskutil eraseDisk jhfs+ <label> <disk id1>
diskutil eraseDisk jhfs+ <label> <disk id2>
After this I continued with the Disk Utillity and it gave me a message saying "No Core Storage found...". Do you want to fix it?
I clicked on the Fix button and it did everything successfully. I partitioned the Macintosh HD into two partitions and and was able to install Yosemite 10.10.1 with no issues. I then ran VerifyDisk from within Yosemite and getting this on the Yosemite (first partition):

Now, my questions are, initially, I got the "Invalid Logical volume header @ <some number>. Is this cause of concern that the Fusion drive is failing and chances of occurring again?
My next question is, based on the log, does it look OK?. Also, what does this mean "Logical Volume Group E2086E44-46AF-471C-A0F4-AC1449DAC936 spans 2 devices disk0s2+disk1s2: Logical Volume Group has a 24 MB Metadata Volume with double redundancy"?. Is this normal or cause of concern?
Surprisingly, I ran VerifyDisk on the 2nd partition (Mavericks) which I haven't installed Mavericks yet and I see this:

The volume Mavericks appears to be OK.
File system check exit code is 0.
Why is the 2nd partition NOT showing the "Logical Volume Group has a 24 MB Metadata Volume with double redundancy" in the log? Also, is the 2nd partition ok?
On an unrelated task, I have to do this for a software that I'm trying to install and issued the following commands from Terminal.
sudo cp ~/Desktop/com.lsreset.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/<appconfig.plist>
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/<appconfig.plist>
and seeing this:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/appconfig.plist: Operation already in progress
Previously, I didn't see this error (last month or so)? Is this related to the HDD issue that I'm facing?
Thanks.

Anybody please?
even though I'm covered under Apple Care, I would like to be confident enough to know whats going on before I run to the store.
Thanks guys.

Verify Disk Error after Freezing and CD Drive Issues!

Now, I know I need to reboot from the installation CD but my drive isn't working. Can anyone think of a solution for me/tell me what the problem is?
Thanks in advance. It's a super bad time for my Mac to be doing this to me. :[

You can perform directory repairs very similar to Disk Utility's *Repair Disk* routine by booting into Single User Mode and running fsck:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Any other repair method will require using your nonfunctioning optical drive or being able to start the computer from an external drive containing Disk Utility, so try fsck first.

Disk Utility unable to verify disk (Error -9972)

Please help! I downloaded the Security Update 2007-004 and my comp crashed! When I turn my computer on I get a folder icon in the middle of the screen and it won't start.
I tried using Disk 1 to get to my harddrive. I got to Disk Utility and tried to verify disk. But I got the following message.
Invalid B-tree node size.
Volume check failed.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit. (-9972)
So I can't verify and therefore can't repair my disk. I need my computer for my school assignment. Please please help.

Welcome To Discussions jo*!
Do you know what size the Hard Drive is, and how much space is available?
Although that error is not exactly good news, it is not necessarily a death knell.
DiskWarrior, does indeed, have a high success rate at rebuilding when Disk Utility reports "Underlying task reported failure" when repairing a volume (Error -9972).
In the above link it states;
*Back up as much of your important data and files as you can, then try using a third-party disk utility to repair the drive. Be sure that you use one that works with your version of Mac OS X."
DiskWarrior, also linked above, is just such a third-party utility.
But just in case it is unsuccessful, and you need to perform an Erase & Install, I suggest that if possible, you back up the system, or at least any data that you cannot afford to lose.
If you have access to another Mac that is Firewire enabled, you might be able to backup, or retrieve data, using Firewire Target Disk Mode.
Good Luck!

Verify volume failed: Invalid request.

Hi,
I've just installed Bootcamp 4.0 on my MBP, installed Windows 7 - and all was working fine.
In the past 20 minutes I tried to boot into my Bootcamp but it failed and said that it couldn't find the operating system.
I then booted back into Lion and went to disk utilities and now my Bootcamp partition gives me:
Verify volume failed: Invalid request.
Any ideas what I can do?

You could also download and burn (slowly) Windows 8 ISO.
No I am not a bit-mind-reader but sometimes those Microsoft Windows Patch Tuesday do bite some systems, which is why restore check points, regular maintenance like CCleaner are handy.

Volume error

Hi I need some assistance. My 5yr old Ibook G4 has been 'acting funny' for quite some time now. I figured it was nearing its end. But yesterday I thought it had finally called it quits. It wouldn't save anything to the HD or mount any other drives. So I shut 'er down. Well, it wouldn't come back. I went to bed knowing I was going to be out of a laptop until I could afford to buy another. This morning, it fired right up. So i figured I'd better take some precautionary action and ran the verify disc under the disc utility. This is what was returned:

Hi jaredvanscoder
Welcome to Discussion.
Try repairing it using mac OS X's Disk Utility, but note that the startup drive can only be repaired from another drive. Simply loading the install disk is not sufficient. You have to boot from the install disk.
To do this: Insert the Install Disk 1 into the drive and then select Restart, then hold down the C key until you hear the chime.
This will take you to the installation software, but you do not want to install.
Select your language, then go up to the top menu bar to First Aid or Disk Utilities, depending on the system and navigate to the Disk Utilities app.
Then you will be able to Repair Disk on the start up drive.
If it finds errors, repeat the process until it reports no errors.
Then run Repair Permissions.
After these repairs, quit the application, and restart normally.

Santiago,
In order to repair your hard disk, you must run Disk Utility while actually booted to the "Software Restore" disk.
With the disk inserted, restart, then hold down the "C" key. When the installer loads, choose a language, then open Disk Utility from the "Utilities" menu.
If you still receive an error when attempting to repair your hard disk while booted to the Software Restore disk, you must format (erase) the hard drive.

How can I fix this problem? I don't understand how to "start up your computer with another disk..." ??

R61 R&R won't start after "unmountable boot volume" error

Hello all,
New user, first post - after problem, of course.
I have an R61 Thinkpad with Windows XP on it. (SP2 or SP3, not sure). Has worked flawlessly for years, then the other day I got the dreaded "unmountable boot volume" error and it would not start.
No problem - I re-start, hit the ThinkVantage button, then hit F11 to use the R&R hidden on a separate partition of the hard drive........I get the black screen with the big progress bar, ok, then a blue screen......then nothing. Hangs up and sits there. I have repeated this about 5 times now.
No problem! - I was smart enough to make an R&R CD set a while ago! Put the primary R&R disk in the CD drive, start the machine, ThinkPad button, F12 this time to choose boot from CD.....much CD activity ensues and I once again get the black screen with the big progress bar. It takes much longer, and I get teh blue screen - BUT - then it goes one extra step to display the "ThinkVantage Rescue & Recovery 4" screen with the life preserver image.
Excellent, I thing - except it then hangs there. Just sits there. No disk activity. No keys will do anything.
I can find no threads here or on any other forum with this particular issue.
Am I fubar? Or is there something else I can do?
Thanks a bunch.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi jim, welcome to the forums,
Is the hard drive recognised in BIOS, was there an entry in the boot list against HDD0?
Regardless of it being shown in BIOS / boot list or not, the first thing I would do is to reseat the hard drive and see if that helps, maybe over time it's lost contact to the mainboard socket. If you don't know how to do this you can find out at the R61 movies site.
The next thing I would do is run a hard drive diagnosis check from a bootable cd, these can be downloaded from all HDD manufacturer's websites e.g. Hitachi's Drive Fitness Test. It may be that the drive has simply gone bad after all those years of work.
Let us know how you get on

Unmountable Boot Volume error in Z61T

Hi Members,
I just encountered the the Error Unmountable Boot volume error(Blue Screen) in my Z61T Think pad laptop.
I'm not sure what caused this error. Is it possible to fix the error?
I tried to go in to Recovery Console using XP CD and then repair the OS, but unfortunately when i go to repair mode i get another error which says unable to recognize the hard drive. Im really confused as of what is the exact problem with my laptop and also im worried about that data.
appreciate if anyone can throw some light in to the issue and help me out in fixing the same.
Thanks
Rajesh

If you believe that your hard disk/file system may be corrupted, try using any bootable diagnostic cd.They are operating system independent and will let you know if your HDD is getting corrupted.
Try the data life guard diagnostics(bootable).

"Unable to create volume" error when exporting

Exporting photos from iPhoto gives me the "unable to create Volume" error. iPhoto and Mountain Lion are the latest versions, and most recent updates. Library of 30,000 images is currently on an NAS. Destination drive is formatted Mac OSX Extended (Journaled, Encrypted).
Library has already been rebuilt. No change.
PNGs have been deleted from library. No change.
Tried batch re-titling every image in the library library, and exporting so that exported files were named according to title, followed by a number--thus no two files would have the same name. No change.
Any suggestions?

Library of 30,000 images is currently on an NAS.
Likely cause right there.
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.
Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?
