Problem
I have a Time Machine backup which contains a lot of valuable information and I'm trying to access it. What's the problem? I'm trying to mount it and nothing1 happens.
- Nothing happens? So I tried to eject the network disk containing the sparsebundle and I got an error saying:
"The disk backups couldn't be ejected because finder it using it"
What??? My guess is DiskImageMounter is mounting but is ridiculously slow?
Notes / Updates
Note:
installd
is eating up my CPU usage, is this in anyway related to DiskImageMounterNote 2: If I go to "Browse Other Backup Disks" it finds the sparsebundle but none of the backups show.
Update: Seems like
mds
is going crazy on the backup drive. I'll try to disable spotlight and see what I can do
There must surely be a better way to browse a Time Machine backup on a network disk
If not, how can my problem be fixed?
installd
see What is installd, and why is it eating my CPU?installd
but I just added it if it has anything to do with mounting the disk imageinstalld
have you looked at Open Files and Ports for it in Activity Monitor to see if it shows anything pointing to the Time Machine sparse bundle?fsck_hfs
looks like it's something to do with mounting. It does persist if I restart. I'm not seeing anOpen Files and Ports
tab...diskimages-helper
which is accessing the disk images... It's been over 30 minutes and no mount so I'll see if anything happens
