AE CS3 Mac causing Volume Bit Map Errors
I have dug down to the root cause my CCC & SuperDuper cloning failure of my boot volume.
AE CS3 Mac is producing a Volume Bit Map error with some of it’s MC Pref files.
Repairing the volume while booted from another OSX volume or disk utility like Disc Warrior, provides a temporary solution.
Following the disc repair, the volume can be cloned.
Opening AE CS3 does just enough new volume bit damage, that the volume must be repaired again before any cloning operation.
If any Adobe Tech Support folks see this post, please respond.
Thanks
RJ

if you haven’t already, you should post this in adobe’s ae forum.
i’ve been using cs3 on a macpro for a month now, and i haven’t had any major problems… but i haven’t been cloning the hard drive either….

Maybe you could try running your disc utility, the verify disc operation and see what it reports.

yep, it reported and error with adobe after effects 8~2.0 mc pref.
disk utility stated:
(should be 1 instead of 0)
incorrect number of thread records
volume bit map needs minor repair.i was able to repair with disk utility from the macpro install disk. i rebooted, opened ae cs3, and then ran disk utility again to see if ae created a new ‘bad’ pref, but the disk checked out ok… this time anyway.

It is the “~” character. It is an illegal character. I had the same problem too. Just delete that preference and it will clone, at least with SuperDuper!
For some reason CS3 makes multiple pref files of the same preference with the ~, sometimes it doesn’t. You should only have one pref file with that name, the other ones with the ~ are temp prefs that should be erased at quit, I suspect, but for some reason don’t get erased.
