Hi,
i encounter a problem with the kextcache command under Tiger (8A428).
I would like to update cache on an external volume.
Why? Because on startup, the volume is read online, so the caches
can't be updated.
So i need to update the cache before booting on this volume, from
an "alive" system.
Here is how i did under Panther, and it worked well:
sudo kextcache -l -m /Volumes/ExternalDisk/System/Library/
Extensions.mkext /Volumes/ExternalDisk/System/Library/Extensions
The supported way to do this is:
sudo touch /Volumes/ExternalDisk/System/Library/Extensions
When the volume is next booted, the boot loader will notice that the
KEXT caches are out of date and rebuild them.
The problem with manually tweaking the caches is that each version of
Mac OS X implements a different set of caches, and how they work is
considered an implementation detail that developers shouldn't care
about. Touching the Extensions directory will assure that the proper
caches are rebuilt on all versions of Mac OS X.
Please help or give advices.
Thanks.
Gilles
