rogerbil Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 A month ago I had to restore a backup from a removable disk set to a new (new to me, but second-hand) intel imac. it worked fine. Now the 250g drive in that iMac has failed and I have replaced it with a new 500g. Following instructions I reinstalled leopard and updated to same as dead disk - 10.5.8. All goes smoothly on restore until it suddenly stops with message in log: - 5/11/2009 12:14:43: Restoring from MWF… Can't write file “libHPIOnetsnmp.5.dylibâ€, error -34 (volume full), path: “Michael's Disk/Library/Frameworks/HPServicesInterface.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libHPIOnetsnmp.5.dylibâ€. Trouble writing files, error -34 (volume full). This has happened three times and I do not know what is the cause. Disk isn't full - there's 300g available. What makes it worse is that the iMac refuses to startup and the sytems have to be reinstalled each time. Any ideas what can be causing this? I read in one post about a '.DS_' file being the cause, but I don't seem to have on on my backup? Any other workable solutions? (sorry for dual post, I think I originally put this in wrong forum) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 How is the disk formatted? Is it Mac OS Extended? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennart_T Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 You should check the disk with Apple Disk Utility. If that is the (current) boot drive, you have to do that in Single Use Mode or by booting the install DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerbil Posted November 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Problem resolved by attaching iMac to Retrospect Server via firewire and restoring in Target disk mode. No conflict with a live system - all seems to be working OK. Thanks for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
