It does nothing else, so this is usless for my "invalid node structure" error. Using 10.6.5.

You are a true saint! I had an issue with a failed install of MS Office 2011 on my MBPro and it blew out my OS X partition. All I was left with was the Boot Camp partition Windows 7 (which led straight to a BSOD). the OS X install disk just churned away and failed so I created a Das Boot flash drive (and still had to boot that in single-user mode) and spent hours trying to use fsck -fy and fsck_hfs -fy Nothing was working and I was just inches from wiping the hard drive and starting over. Your post saved me much heartache and a great deal of lost data. THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! You are a true saint!

I first booted with the OS X install disk and went into Terminal from there, with no results. I then booted into safe mode and did the "fsck" from there... it worked! Needless to say, I owe you my life! Thanks so much for sharing this! Oh, and by the way, my Mac Book Pro is now ten times faster than it was before... I mean, it's like new again! Thanks!

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 http://devlab.ca/?p=4507&cpage=1#comment-4861 Froehliche Sun, 25 Jul 2010 01:00:21 +0000 http://devlab.ca/?p=4507#comment-4861 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.

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!

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. 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.

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.
