Restart you Mac...
Quote:
Restart my Mac??? Really? What am I a Windoze user? (Not since June of last year thank you.) Sigh. All is not right with my MacWorld. I did restart and things worked this time. There was a time in my life I would have made restarting the computer one of the first troubleshooting steps. Now, obviously, I don't really consider it. I did try restarting the LaCie Backup drive first. That didn't work. So why is it that a Restart was needed? Is there a better drive other than the LaCie 500 Gig? I'm using firewire. Anyway, thanks for your as always timely good help. Randall |

When the LaCie failed, it left a bad "mount point" in /Volumes. These are cleaned up on restart so... fixed!

Volumes?
I just opened up a terminal window.
cd /Volumes ls Then I see: 20070310 LaCie Backup Macintosh HD 20070310 is the DMG. Could I have dismounted the backup dmg and the Lacie Backup Volume, turn off the LaCie drive and then used the command line to clean up whatever LaCie Backup was left in that folder and thereby avoid a reboot? |

Nah. Just do the reboot.
