[MBZ] OT: Mac Snow Leopard bug
Apparently, Snow Leopard (aka Mac OS X 10.6) has a habit of wiping out home directories when a user logs in to a Guest account following an upgrade from Apple's previous operating system: just Leopard (aka Mac OS X 10.5). Typically carrying the name of the user, the home directory includes all the standard user file folders, including Documents, Downloads, Music, Picture, and more. I had the Guest account enabled on my MacBook Pro, one user wrote on September 3, just after the release of Snow Leopard. I accidentally clicked on that when I went to log in. It took a few minutes to log in, then after I had logged out of that account and back into mine, my [entire] home directory had been wiped. All of doc, music, etc. gone. Another user was hit just this weekend. No!!! This morning I had access to Guest Account and than all my data were lost!!! he wrote. I had 250GB of data without backup and I lost everything: years and years of documents, pictures, video, music!!! Is it possible to recover something?

Hopefully not gone, but in some lost directory somewhere. This sort of thing is fairly unusual for Apple, most times there are not major oops sorta things in a released version, but I suppose anything is possible. Do a file search, it may all be there somewhere strange.

Apple rarely has bad releases but when they do they're doozys. 10.2.something would eat the MBR of any attached Firewire800 drives, all the data on the drive was lost... -Curt Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:40:15 -0500 (GMT-05:00) From: Peter Frederick psf...@earthlink.net Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT: Mac Snow Leopard bug To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Message-ID: 29985417.1255455615932.javamail.r...@mswamui-cedar.atl.sa.earthlink.net Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hopefully not gone, but in some lost directory somewhere.
