Title: Disk Utility
Post by: sokukodo on July 21, 2003, 06:46:57 PM

I've noticed that when I run Disk Utility from the boot disk and choose "verify disk", it tells me that the volume needs to be repaired; after repairing, I choose "verify disk" again, and I get the same message that it needs to be repaired, so I repair once again, verify, same message ... I've repeated this procedure 5 times and I still get the same message. Should I keep repairing until I get a message that "volume 10.2.6 appears to be ok"?

What is the message you get? I.e. what is it that Disk Utility want to repair?

Stoip.  Twice is sufficient.  Boot your mac  in Verbose Mode.  Hold down Command - V  while booting ino the comnmand-line.  type sudo/sbin fsck -y    This will run a more complete File System Check (fsck)  Run twice if need be. IF this  fails  run  Disk Warrior 3.0 from the boot CD -  or, as an alternative, Norton Disk Doctor 8.0  off of the new Norton SystemWorks 3.0 boot CD.

I usually run Disk Utility from a Partition.

I never bother to verify. I just Repair.

What brought this up? Anything go wrong?

Actually, things were getting sluggish, and when that happens I usually prebind and/or do the disk utilty thing ...
