I'm well aware that this list might not be the most appropriate place
for my question, but I've spent a long, long time looking for an
answer on the web and didn't find anything helpful.
Ok, so here's I go: On three different Intel-based Macs, when letting
Disk Utility check the boot volume (journaled HFS+), I'm occasionally
getting, in big read letters, a message saying that verification of
the volume failed and that the "Volume header needs minor repair".
The document at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107250
says that this error message can safely be ignored on journaled HFS+
volumes. However, the document specifically claims to apply to Mac OS
X 10.3.9 or earlier only.
I've always booted into single user mode and run fsck manually. It
found and fixed whatever was wrong. Still, I'm wondering if that's
really necessary, or if the information in the above mentioned
document also applies to Mac OS X 10.4 and up, and the error can
still safely be ignored.
As a side note, I've got the strange (but as of yet unproven) feeling
that the issue regularely occurs after installing a new Software
Update that requires a reboot. I guess I'll keep an eye on that, but
for now let's only sum the question up again: Does the information in
the above mentioned document still apply to 10.4+ and can the error
messages mentioned in there still safely be ignored?
Any hints would be much appreciated!
Greetings,
Nils
