Re: How to restore /var/db/dyld cache?

If you read the man page for update_dyld_shared_cache you will see that
you can run it with -root and the supply the path to the mounted volume. I
have done this in the past to solve similar issues in a restore situation
(there was some funkiness otherwise).

RTFM. Ouch. Yes, you're absolutely correct. I didn't see that option. That might be a workable solution.

I'd still like to know, however, if the cache will automatically rebuild itself or whether it has to be built manually on 10.6.

If you are worried about the version of update_dyld_shared_cache used,
then use the one from the target volume. Unless you have huge deltas in
the versions of MacOS X, you should be able to do this.

Big deltas aren't a problem; small ones might be. Big deltas aren't an issue because you *can't* restore one major version of the OS using another. Apple keeps changing the HFS format so things like compressed extended attributes make it impossible to write a bootable OS X 10.6 system using 10.5 (trust me, I've tried).
