If you know how to provoke this problem, please file a bug report with as much information as you can:

From my poking around, I gather that that XcodeSnapshots is actually a disk image mounted in the temp directory? Could that image have gotten corrupted somehow?


Yes, the backing store for Xcode Snapshots is a disk image, and while it could possibly get corrupted, I don't think that's necessarily what's causing this problem.


It doesn't really show up anywhere, but Finder shows XcodeSnapshots is an alias, and double-clicking it opens a volume named Snapshots at the "computer" level, even though opening the "computer" does not show that volume.


You're typically not supposed to see, or have to care about, either the disk image, or its corresponding mounted volume. They are an implementation detail, and private to, the Xcode Snapshot machinery and hidden to the extent that they can be.


Should just nuke the disk image and start from scratch? Where does it live? Other suggestions?


You can nuke it, but please don't do that before you've collected enough data for a bug report:

~/Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/ SnapshotRepository.sparseimage

Alternatively, just move it aside to see if that fixes the problem. Quit Xcode before you do so, it will be re-created as needed.


Thanks,
