Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy File I/O Error

  • Posted by Bob Davis on August 7, 2008 at 9:00 pm

    Last month I added a 2nd GSpeed-es 2tb drive to my Mac Pro/FCP system. It is configured in Raid 5.

    I haven’t had any problems until yesterday. While editing in FCP I tried to render a clip and got the File I/O error message. There was nothing wrong with the clip as I had rendered it in the timeline moments earlier w/o any problems.

    I also got the same message in Soundtrack Pro… so what do I need to do to track this down and resolve the issue.

    Permissions maybe? Check to see if you are ignoring permissions on the volume with ‘Get Info’ (Apple+I).

    Nope that wasn’t it. The drive has Read & Write permission…any other ideas….

    Disk Utility > Repair Disk. Maybe a bad sector on the volume?!?

    Ran Disk Utility and got this:

    Verify and Repair disk “dp 01”
    Checking HFS Plus volume.
    Checking Extents Overflow file.
    Checking Catalog file.
    Invalid sibling link
    Volume check failed.

    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit

    1 HFS volume checked
    1 volume could not be repaired because of an error

    Now if I only knew what that all means….

    There you go. Copy everything off, repartition the drive using disk utility. Name the new partition the exact same as now and when you copy everything back you shouldn’t have any reconnection issues.

    Bob,

    Having paid $1000 per gigabyte at the start of digital revolution, I will let no one who complains about inadequate disk space these days escape here unscathed. So, consider yourself therefore duly scathed.

    Now, tomorrow go out and spend $160 and get yourself a 1Tb drive and a cheap firewire enclosure at Fryes, please.
