So if a hard drive is backed by a physical disk, time machine will back it up just fine. If it's backed up by an hdiutil mounted image, then it seems to refuse to back it up.
In both cases, a /dev/*disk* entry has it, and it's an HFS+J drive. /dev/disk0 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *1.0 TB disk0 1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1 2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 40.0 GB disk0s2 3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3 4: Apple_HFS UserData 832.8 GB disk0s4 5: Apple_HFS New Main 126.1 GB disk0s5 6: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s6 /dev/disk1 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *64.0 GB disk1 1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1 2: Apple_HFS DataDrive 63.7 GB disk1s2 /dev/disk2 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *6.0 TB disk2 1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk2s1 2: Apple_HFS rawKleimanMovies 2.3 TB disk2s2 3: Apple_HFS TimeMachine 3.7 TB disk2s3 /dev/disk3 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *5.8 GB disk3 1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk3s1 2: Apple_HFS OS X Install ESD 5.5 GB disk3s2 /dev/disk4 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *2.3 TB disk4 1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk4s1 2: Apple_HFS Kleiman Movies 2.3 TB disk4s2 /dev/disk6 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *64.0 GB disk6 1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk6s1 2: Apple_HFS Sierra10-12test 63.7 GB disk6s2 Time machine has no trouble with the USB sticks, or the USB attached real drives. But it refuses to read from the image drive. Is there any way to make an image look "real enough" for time machine? --- Entertaining minecraft videos http://YouTube.com/keybounce _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
