Comment on Invalid node structure under Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard by Vas

Please help me, I am running a macbook 10.5.8 and I have the invalid node structure problem, this is all a bit technical for me, can someone please give me an idiots guide to running this wonderful script. I wasted 99 dollars on diskwarrior with no success. My hard drive is playing up and disc utility wont fix it. if someone could tell me how to bring up the prompt to run the command and the exact command I need to enter that will really help me.

I hope someone has the time to guide an old timer like me.

Comment on Bicycle Licensing in #Toronto: Why revisit this idea, Councillor Michael Walker? by Froehliche

Walker is wrong, or someone posting here is wrong about Walker’s statement.

The City does have the power to license bicycles and/or riders, it has done so in the past and doing so now would not contravene or otherwise involve provincial laws on the books.

That the City chooses not to do so is good. It is too bad that the City cannot license bicycle messengers though. That is at this time not possible.

Comment on Copenhagenize battles the Bike-Helmet Industrial Complex by Carolyn

I could not agree with you more about Copenhagenize and his obsession with helmet laws and agree with you on all points. I am an avid commuter bicyclist, and used to read Copenhagenize regularly, but I really have gotten turned off by that blog because of all the anti-helmet rhetoric. He’s doing exactly what the anti-helmet folks get mad about with the negative oriented ads for helmet laws. It’s time to get back to positive bicycling advocacy!

Worked for me too. Had a friend whose iMac wouldn’t boot. She took it to the Apple Store, was told the hard drive died. She was under AppleCare, so they replaced the hard drive.

Asked her to get the old hard drive back from Apple. She didn’t have a current backup.

Plugged her old drive into my USB Drive Dock. Wouldn’t mount. Disk Utility and Drive Genius came up with the Node Error.

Googled it – most links said to use DiskWarrior. Didn’t want to spend $99.

Kept searching and came across the fsck command. Googled that and found this post.

Ran diskutil info to get drive info. Ran fsck_hfs command – “Could not be repaired after three attempts”. Ran Disk Utility. Disk repaired. Was able to mount.

Only four files were corrupted – two photos and two songs.

This is like the feel good post of the decade. So many catastrophes avoided. I am thankful to have found this post. I happy to report:
** The volume Macintosh HD was repaired successfully.
A collection of insight from the post author and all the commenters’ has made this issue go away peacefully.

FYI: I used fsck_hfs -rf dev/disk1s2, while booted from the 10.5 install DVD. The command output read almost same as authors in post. Total time for command to complete was about 30 min.
Thanks everyone!

Comment on Wonderland being sorta-kinda abandoned by Sun/Oracle by Neil Canham

Neil Canham — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:51:32 +0000

Well said, I entirely agree that there is no need at all for this to spell the end of Wonderland. I’ve been following it closely and think it has huge potential given that it was designed specifically for serious rather than social/entertainment use. I look forward to getting my hands on the 0.5 release, which I’m sure will still happen.

I’m going to have to try this when I get home; if you’ve got a shell prompt with a “#” in it, you’re already root (the administrative user) so you won’t have to sudo.

What if the disk not mounting is the Start Up disk? I tried running this but it say:

“the volume XXX cannot be repaired when it is in use”

I tried booting from the Installation DVDs but then it wont allow me to run “sudo”…

Any advice?

Thanks in advance!!

You are the man!

My wife came up to me today and said “I think the mac has some problems…” fsck -fy no love.
fsck_hfs -rf /dev/disk0s0 and all was good with the world.

Had a jungledisk backup to fall back on, but it made me super happy to be able to have the mac book back up.
