[Hidden-tech] lacie extreme disk error messages

[Kevin Phillips]

The power brick often dies due to heat, it kills the capacitors in them and
the voltage becomes noisy and low.
You should take the drive out and mount it in a new enclosure and it should
be OK.
They tend to use lesser quality drives and run them hot and this kills the
drive itself too...I don't know why people think so highly of them, look
good but poor engineering in my humble opinion.

Hello,




looks like my 1TB lacie backup "extreme disk" has finally decided to play
with my sanity. I tried runnin' apple's disk utility to no avail. The discs
icon shows up in the left panel but will not mount- here are the messages I
got:

=========

Verify and Repair volume Time Machine _BU

Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.

Detected a case-sensitive catalog.

Checking Extents Overflow file.

Invalid leaf record count

(It should be 4500 instead of 4505)

Checking Catalog file.




>>Disk Utility stopped repairing Time Machine _BU because the following
error was encountered:

Filesystem verify or repair failed.




(It should be 4500 instead of 4505)

Checking Catalog file.

Invalid node structure

Volume check failed.

Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.

=============




anyone have any insight or suggestions about what I should do next. I know
that Lacie has had problems with the "extreme disks" power cords not giving
the units enough juice but this doesn't seem related at all.




trying not to wig out too much...but I do happen to have a A LOT of
important stuff on this drive. Help?


Regards,

Tom Adams
