| Feb 11, 2011 at 15:34 | comment | added | Brant Bobby | @Gordon: I did a filesystem repair with 10.5's Disk Utility and it didn't complain about any of my compressed files, so I believe @CajunLuke is right. | |
| Feb 11, 2011 at 3:18 | comment | added | Cajunluke | The filesystem compression (if I believe) uses a file system fork (like the data/resource forks), so 10.5 should support it as just another file fork. | |
| Feb 11, 2011 at 1:10 | comment | added | Gordon Davisson | @Mark: true, but the permissions repair portion is best run from the live system anyway; I doubt Onyx would've recommended booting from DVD for a permissions repair. BTW, I'm leery of using 10.5's filesystem repair on 10.6, because Apple added at least one feature filesystem-level compression) to 10.6 that 10.5 and its repair tool won't understand. | |
| Feb 11, 2011 at 1:06 | comment | added | Brant Bobby | All I needed to do was run the filesystem checks, not repair permissions, and it worked fine. (I didn't try verifying/repairing permissions at all, so I have no idea if that would have worked.) | |
