(It usually messes up all of the file permissions and you can't write to them or even move them afterward when you're back in OS9) You just can't search them by / for keywords and such with Spotlight and of course, you'll have to backup OS9 with something other than Time Machine - which is fine because Time Machine won't make a useable OS9 restoration anyway. You'll find that you can still "see" all the OS9 files from OSX so you can open them, copy them etc. If you upgrade OSX or add another version of OSX to the computer, IMMEDIATELY go to all OSX prefs and confirm that OS9 is locked out. Just never, never again allow those pref settings to get changed back. Restore your OS9 files from your backup folder by folder. Boot OS9 from CD (either your own or MacTron's Rescue CD is perfect) and reinstall OS9.Ĩ. You cannot just restore the entire volume whole because it probably also contains a corrupted header… SOħ. NOW: You can erase your b-tree-corrupted OS9 volume and then restore it from backup (which you of course, have, right?) BUT Click "Options"…you'll get the same kind of drop-down form called "Do not back up".Ħ. Drag your OS9 volume icon onto the list.ĥ. You'll see a list form "Prevent Spotlight from searching these locations".Ĥ. You have to first repair the damage and then stop the process causing it. No no no no! You are completely overthinking it!Īctually, it's ridiculously simple. You MUST lock your OS9 volume out from them in their System Prefs settings even if you don't use Spotlight or Time Machine. Quote from: GaryN on November 30, 2015, 04:05:43 PM I repeat: In my long experience, it is Spotlight and Time Machine (if you have Leopard) that both write stuff on ALL of the drives / partitions in your computer that cause the b-tree errors in OS9. My MDD now has 4 drives, 7 volumes, 3 OS's (9, 10.4 and 10.5) and no b-tree issues. Since I did the above over 4 years ago, I have not had a single one of those b-tree issues! I'm pretty damn sure I've found the cause and the cure. But I'm Polish and very stubborn, so I just kept at it and at it. I was about to give up on my MDD entirely at one point because of this insanity. It does the same thing if you run Disk Utility on a volume.ĭisk First Aid in OS9 can't fix it because it doesn't understand it.ĭisk Utility in OSX won't fix it because as far as it knows, there's nothing wrong! When you see your system slow down in OSX and there's that little "mds" owned by "nobody" running in Activity monitor, OSX is busy indexing every single file it can find wherever it's allowed to go look and writing little notes to itself in that volume header. It's the indexing function in OSX that writes the gobbledegook. I repeat: In my long experience, it is Spotlight and Time Machine (if you have Leopard) that both write stuff on ALL of the drives / partitions in your computer that cause the b-tree errors in OS9. My MDD booted and everything looks good but i'm getting now the famous "Invalid Btree Header, 0, 0" scanning with FirstAidUtility.sure this bad did the evil MacOSX but do i have to worry about it? I only changed the configuration as before the 2 ones were connected to the same ATA100 bus as master/slave configuration so i put the system on the ATA66 and left the other one on the ATA100 bus. I made backups of the 2 harddrives with Superduper to an external Firewire one and did nothing else as to put the 2 harddrives back into the MDD as they didn't seem to be dead. Well, i grabbed finally my Mavericks Macbook and connected them with the same USB-IDE adapter and got immediately all partitions shown on the desktop.should have tried that in the first place. I'll request a refund as soon as possible if it's not working. I searched the support forum but couldn't find any information about mac os9 partitions.Does anyone use their Program successfully ? i tried on the windows 7 partition first installing their program and after that on my XP partition. But it already passed the trial period so i had the stupid idea of buying their 2in1 bundle for 29$ only to see that it isn't working with OS9 partitions.at least it's not working for me. Harddrives dead i thought and so i got the idea to try to connect them to my windows box with an USB-IDE bridge adapter as i recently installed the demo version of Paragons HFS+ for windows. Last night the harddrives of my MDD halted and after forcing the reboot i got the blinking Question mark Folder.
