sometimes, not all volumes at the Computer level in Finder

Post by grahamperrin » Fri Oct 26, 2012 1:55 am

For my pool named tall, it's normal for nine volumes to mount – a root file system tall plus a variety of children (mostly grandchildren and lower).

Recently, two incidents:

  1. 2012-10-23 18:49 only eight of nine were at the Computer level in Finder – the ninth (child file system backups) was found by a mount command but not present in Finder; children of that missing file system were present
  2. another in which maybe only seven of nine were at the Computer level.

That second incident might have preceded the symptoms noted under root file system not mounted, some children mounted.

Whilst I didn't investigate thoroughly on either occasion, my gut feeling is:

  • simple mount point conflicts were not responsible for the problems.

A recurrence of this symptom, plus other symptoms: for a new child file system, the application can't be found

Another incident

In today's screenshots at http://www.wuala.com/grahamperrin/publi ... de=gallery Finder lost sight of the following volume:

  • com.apple.backupd

File system hierarchy:
tall/com.apple.backupd

If I recall correctly, disappearance was shortly after a command line export of a different pool:

Code: Select all
macbookpro08-centrim:~ gjp22$ zpool history zhandy | grep export | grep 2013-03-23.00:3
2013-03-23.00:31:37 zpool export zhandy


Logs confirm that the file system, which I use to store a .sparsebundle for Time Machine backups, remained mounted and usable whilst invisible.
