Repair disk from single user mode (fsck fails) @mouviciel You're right, I went back through my apple boxes and found it. |

Repair disk from single user mode (fsck fails) You're right, it was a malfunctioning hard drive as opposed to just dodgy entries in the filesystem. I do have backups, specifically Time Machine, but I ended up just using DiskWarrior to create a "preview" of the hard drive, cloning that to an external drive, and booting from the external drive. It's temporary until I get a chance to replace the internal hard drive, but all's working smoothly at the moment. |

Repair disk from single user mode (fsck fails) And by "launchd'ing" i mean: launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.kextd.plist
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.notifyd.plist
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.configd.plist
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemon/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist
I then did some other stuff, don't know if it was necessary, and then shutdown -h now, and when that didn't work, exit. |

Repair disk from single user mode (fsck fails) Okay I seem to have accidentally managed to boot it after manually launchd'ing several services and then exiting single-user mode. Which is good enough for this afternoon. I think I'm gonna try diskwarrior and/or techtool pro tomorrow, see what problems they report. Thanks for the help |

Repair disk from single user mode (fsck fails) Never had an install DVD, it came pre-installed. I've been considering trying to burn one with this old laptop I dug out. I've also been considering DiskWarrior, is it likely to be able to fix it? |

Repair disk from single user mode (fsck fails) I actually tried it with -r (-Rc doesn't seem to work). It gave the error "invalid node structure" always, and "invalid key length" only 75% of the time. |

So, my iPhone 4 just decided to restore itself I very nearly put a proviso in my question instructing people not to say that @Dan Ray. I have one iPhone. I develop for iPhone. My app is targeted at iOS 5. -_- |
