Snow leopard install wiped out sparse image?
On our Mac Pro computer I just did a successful install of Snow Leopard, but immediately found that after it restarted, a sparse disk image that I use for my Aperture library failed to mount as it usually does on startup. When I originally set this up, I added the disk image to "System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items" so it would mount whenever I logged in. This worked great until the Snow Leopard install tonight.
Now, the disk image is nowhere to be found. In the login items, I can see what I had called "Aperture volume" listed as unknown kind. I can see other disk images in disk utility. But I cannot find any trace of the sparse image that should still be there.
Also, not that I was keeping track, but the SL install seemed to give me a huge amount of disk space back. I mean unusually huge. Like missing the 200-300 gigs worth of Aperture library that was on the sparse image huge.
Why, oh why, might have the upgrade have wiped out my disk image, and how might I be able to get it back?
I do have a vault that's within a day, so I can rebuild the Aperture library, I guess. Because I update the Vault every day, I was having time machine skip the disk image, because it only contained the Aperture library.
Does anybody out there have any suggestions that might help me out here? I would really like to avoid having to wait for a day while my huge Aperture library is restored from a vault.
