Any thoughts?



thoughts?

I'd suggest clean installing Leopard to the internal drive, then -- when prompted to "copy from another Mac" -- point it at the backup. It'll bring in your applications and data.

[AdmiralAdama]

Thnx for the swift reply. Any reason for that? Are you seeing anything in the log in partcular?

[dnanian]

Well, the error implies some HFS+ damage in part of the "zoneinfo" hive, which is reinstalled by the DVD. So, rather than have you repair the drive with Disk Warrior (Disk Utility doesn't do it), I thought it would be easier for you to use the technique I mentioned to avoid copying that file at all...

Thnx, gonna try

I seem to be having the same problem. I have been unable to clone a working boot drive to another hard drive because of the error message about the usr > timezone > cuba metadata.

Running DiskWarrior accomplished nothing.

I am able to find the timezone > cuba on the target drive, but not the source drive. Can anyone help me with finding it?

Is it possible to edit the metadata? If so, how?

I deleted the usr > timezone > cuba file from the target drive and reinstalled the OS 10.5.7 Combo Update on the source drive and attempted a smart update with SD. The smart update has gone past the timezone > cuba file. (I looked and there is now a file present were the one I deleted was.) The smart update has continued and is presently within about 10 GB of finishing. (Fingers crossed.)

My next step, if necessary, is an archive and install. I am not sure how well I would be able to do a clean install as I have the OS and Apps on one drive and another drive that has the primary user (home) folder.

I am still unable to find the timezone files on the source drive searching with Spotlight and in the finder. I also have no idea what the problem is with the metadata on this file, but it seems odd that SD can not simply copy it in whatever state it is in.

Any other ideas would be appreciated.
