Yes I'd thought maybe a FireWire problem too. I just had a quick look at the source - that panic looks like it is there to protect against a condition that shouldn't happen... I'm beat - but running fsck over both disks wouldn't hurt.

I'd guess that the HFS+ (I assume) metadata structures are corrupted on your 200 GB drive - umount and run fsck (Darwin method) or Disk Utility (Mac OS X) over the filesystem. Second look at the panic string and backtrace, I'm guessing the later. Cheers, -- Paul Ripke Unix/OpenVMS/TSM/DBA I love deadlines.

I've used fsck, applejack, onyx countless times. I'd really like to re-install without reformatting though. On Sat, Dec 23, 2006 at 02:52:16PM +0800, Vince Loden wrote: Thanks.

I haven't checked the source - what does Darwin do on metadata write failures? Panic? This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
