On my laptop, which backs up to a drive hanging off of my desktop, I often see 2 entries for the TimeMachine drive. I also often have the TimeMachine drive mounted on my laptop. The mounted copy is owned by me. The TimeMachine mounted copy, with "-1", is owned by root because TimeMachine is a root process and needs to have control over the drive. On my desktop the TM volume is mounted only once and owned by me, not root. Now, I also have both computers set up to use sparse images (this is automatic on the laptop, but I also wanted to limit the size of the backups from the desktop) so it is interesting that only on the laptop is a second mount required. I assume this is the difference between backing up locally and remotely. I haven't experienced anything as severe as you're seeing though. -- -- -- arno s hautala /-\ [email protected] -- -- _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
