Ownership & Read-only Volume - Help! :)
I have a Drobo that I am attempting to transfer files *from* - onto another unit.
The "bad" volume mounts but is read-only - regardless of what I try to do about it (this includes Disk Utility repair, Disk Warrior rebuild, Cocktail (unavailable)) etc. The permissions are actually displayed correctly - but they are greyed out. I thought that I would be able to at least get the files off of the troublesome drive using Super Duper (the files are mostly a Time Machine volume) and then perhaps have better luck getting the permissions straightened out on the new volume. When I attempt to perform a copy using SD, I get an error that SD couldn't take ownership of the bad volume and in the log, this is displayed: | 04:44:37 PM | Error | vsdbutil: Couldn't update volume information for '/Volumes/DeLorean': Read-only file system | 04:44:37 PM | Error | vsdbutil: no valid volume UUID found on '/Volumes/DeLorean': Read-only file system It appears that the volume is there... but isn't - at the same time. I attempted the command sudo cp -r /DeLorean /Drobo which resulted in this error: cp: /DeLorean: No such file or directory Using the same command without the "/" before "DeLorean" (the bad volume) started the file copy but there were tons of errors, I assume due to the Time Machine file structure. Is there anything I can do to get SD to copy these files across? It is read-only... so it should be able to at least READ them? Thanks so much Eric Happy Registered SD User! |
Unfortunately, if it won't let us enable ownership for the volume, we can't copy it, Eric. Sounds like it's badly damaged anyway, actually, so any copy would have likely failed.
