Problem cloning old world disk |

A few months ago, I successfully cloned one scsi disk to another (don't remember which version of CCC was used). I vaguely recall blessing the sys folder, and maybe reinstalling xpf kernel extensions and bootx, but I'm not sure. Now, with CCC 2.1 and later 2.2, I can't perform the same task (although I am cloning to a different SCSI disk on the same chain). It looks like the sys is about to boot, but it just stops on the grey apple screen with the spinning pin wheel forever. Tried the usual stuff mentioned in the first paragraph above, but maybe the order is critical. Can someone please lay out precisely the steps that are needed (blessing, reinstalling extensions, etc.) and in precisely what order? System details: Mac 7500, Sonnet 800 G4, ATI Radeon Mac Edition, OS 10.2.4, ATTO/Apple OEM U2LD w/firmware 1.5, now have 3 scsi drives on channel 2 (internal bus) in LVD mode: 36GB 7200rpm IBM, 9GB 10krpm Seagate, and 36GB 10krpm IBM. SCSI ids are 1, 0, 2 respectively. A few months ago, I successfully cloned from the first to the second (and erased the first to store video). Now, I am trying to clone from the 2nd to the third drive (because I am running out of room on the 9GB Seagate). Thanks! |

Thanks for the suggestions, but I did the following first, in desperation: Backed up almost full 9GB source to Dantz Retrospect file backup. Fresh installed 10.2 on 34GB target. Updated to 10.2.4 on target, to agree with source's version. Restored source from Dantz Retrospect to target (that is the way Dantz says to do it). No boot (the grey screen telling you your computer needs to be rebooted). Reinstalled extensions and bootx from XPF. It booted. Updated target to 10.2.6 (because I now have the room to do that). End. |

I've got 10.1.5 on a 7300/180 and a SCSI drive, and I am unable to run CCC to clone the drive. It is fairly vanilla (stock SCSI drive, no PCI cards). When I run CCC, it sees the source drive but it does not see the destination drive. I've tried putting the second drive on both the internal and external bus, and but still CCC does not see the drive. So, I can't clone the boot volume. The drive is visible in the finder. I'm running v1.31, as the site says that v2.x requires 10.2 or higher. Any suggestions? Thanks! John Feinberg |

Of course the disk0s9 part might have to change on another system.... Marty |

I had a hang at that same line, and this on B&W, I had forgotten to select "make bootable" in CCC (I was cloning just data files - wish preferences were 'out' in front). Came across how to bless from command line, ie during startup - online man pages for "bless." boot {from the OS X 10.2 CD} in single user mode. Mount the HD: mount -t hfs /dev/disk0s9 /tmp command run the bless command bless -folder /tmp/System/Library/CoreServices -bootinfo /tmp/usr/standalone/ppc/bootx.bootinfo http://www.hmug.org/man/1/bless.html |

Repairing permissions didn't help: Verbosity: ATTO,ExpressPCIProUL2D: match category IODefaultMatchCategory exists Got boot device = IOService: (a bunch of stuff about my powersurge model and ATTO card). . ./IOApplePartitionScheme/IBMfastX@9 BSD root: disk2s9, major 24, minor 28 Hangs up here. IBMfastX is the name of the problem boot volume. Any ideas? |

What has worked for me was first blessing and then repairing permissions the extentions should follow the clone but there should be no harm in reinstalling them too. OH did you format using the OS 9.1 disk tools or something else? and did you format standard or extended? Hope that helps? Jim |

I would give Disk Warrior 3 a shot at repairing the volume structure. |

hold down the command key and the v key after the startup chime which will put you in verbose mode, and report back as to where the hangup is... Marty |

By the way, the new 10krpm IBM is bootable, if I do a fresh install instead of a cloning. So I know the drive is capable of booting. |
