Dear Simon,
Let us see how it works, I am reworking on it. I suspect LACIE is
causing
the problem, hence I am coping the data by simple SCP command.
I will say that if you know that your disk image is going to have to
contain lots of stuff, using a sparse image is probably not the right
way to go.
My intention is to have encrypted backup of my all the servers of the
company and to keep in the safe bank locker. Hence I am trying to have
encrypted and password protected "sparse image"
I created it by the command line
# cd /Desktop/LACIE
# hdiutil create -size 400g -encryption -type SPARSE -fs HFS+
<FileName>
Thanks
Ashwin Patil

1. "Encrypted sparse image" is in the LACIE disk, mounted on the G5

2. Mounted the image file by double clicking the "encrypted sparse

3. Then created the folder "xxx" inside the image mounted.[Not in
the LACIE]
4. Copied [By silver Keeper] the date around 300 GB from the NFS
mounted
drive on the same server.
5. Next I wanted to copy another 333 GB from one more NFS mounted
drive, by
creating another folder "yyy" inside the image mounted.
Here the point I got the error,
Just pasting in here from the original:
next when tried to create another folder "YYY" inside the mounted
image it
says error message "do not have permission" even it has full
permissions/ownwership.
and tried with repair the encrypted sparse
image" inside the LACIE. That after even it is failed mounts the
image if I
double click on the "encrypted sparse image".
So the sparse image was on an external hard disk attached to the
client computer, not the server. Okay, I have no idea why you should
have that problem. I wonder if Silver Keeper is causing the problem.
Delete the entire image file, and make a new one. Copy a smaller
folder to it using the Finder, instead of your original XXX folder.
Then copy another small folder to it. Same problem ? If so, try it
with an unencrypted sparse image. Then try it with a normal (not
sparse) image.
I will say that if you know that your disk image is going to have to
contain lots of stuff, using a sparse image is probably not the right
way to go. No reason why it should give you error messages but
you'll
lose a lot of time and space. Better to create a normal read/write
image to start with. But I still have no idea what's causing your
problem.
