  Problem with Leopard and P2 Cards

  Posted by Marcus Van bavel on December 5, 2007 at 6:30 pm

  When you mount a P2 Card in Leopard (OS 10.5.1), using either the HVX200, or the Dual System Adaptor, or a P2 Drive, the CONTENTS folder and all the subfolders have file locks on them.

  So you cannot write a new clip or modify the metadata.

  Trying to remove the lock with Finder (command-I and uncheck the lock) does not work. Anyone have any luck removing these locks in Leopard?

  Just a silly question.

  Is the card in write protect?

  I have experienced this myself, and have heard from others with the same problem.

  Obviously, Apple has changed something in Leopard.

  Yep

  I’m discussing it now with Apple developer support. I’ll post an update here when they have something constructive to say about it.

  They’ve declared it an official bug and will be sending me progress reports. It affects all FAT-16 volumes apparently (a P2 Card is a FAT-16 volume).

  Their only suggested workaround was put it on a Windows machine and turn off the Read-Only flags. Since that’s not really practical I guess we just have to wait for the fix.
