![]() ![]() ![]() I would be inclined to use Apple Disk Utility to reformat the disk and make sure it's journaled. Journaling helps to recover from such problems but I don't know if the Lacie supplied utility would enable journaling or not. This could cause interrupted writes to disk which can cause filesystem corruption. I have sometimes seen Firewire devices interfere with each other. If so, I would copy everything to your new 3TB drive. If not, Disk Utility may tell you that there are hardware problems with the drive and you need to copy files off of it while you still can. If you are lucky, that will take care of the problem. Then you can try and fix it with Disk Utility or a third party tool like Alsoft DiskWarrior. I gather from your description that some other disk is your startup disk but you will also have to log out from the account which has its home on the 1 TB Drive. To fix this, you will have to see that the disk is not in use. Sometimes OS X will mount a device as read only when the filesystem is corrupted. ![]() Not sure why this has happened, question is - how do I fix it please? 4) The updater will also update DiskWarrior 5.0 or 5.1 that is located on any attached DiskWarrior recovery flash drives that were created with earlier versions of DiskWarrior Recovery Maker. I ran Diskutil/first aid and it did not help. The persistent message has now stopped, but some of the apps will not work, so I ran a terminal window and noted an error message stating the file system (relating to my data drive) was read-only. So, I disconnected the new drive and then went into recovery mode and used TimeMachine to reset to a time before I added the new drive. For some reason, OSX had pointed my /users/myname path to the new drive!!! So, I reset it to where it was, re-booted and then had problems in that although the apps had all re-appeared, nothing would execute and I had a persistent pop up telling my the Library was corrupt, enter password to repair (It didn't work). I then re-booted and noticed my desktop and all its app's had disappeared. All good, and formatted HFS+ using the Lacie supplied utility. As it is getting short on space, I purchased a second Lacie 3TB drive and daisy chained it to the first drive. The drive is used for data only and is where the /users/myname path points. I have a 1TB Lacie drive on a Firewire 800 interfaced to my iMac, running El-Capitan. ![]()
