fseventsd and external drive problems
So, today I was working on my machine and noticed my cores were completely maxed.
Looking at the top, it was fseventsd. Anyway, I restarted and the processor usage went away. Now, my backups are to a 2tb external drive. It's encrypted through Time Machine. I also have other non-backup files on there. Because of the weird behavior and the Apple discussion here (which describes a similar problem I'm having, but it was from 10.5 not .7), I decided to do a disk check. My boot drive is fine, however my backup drive returns the following:
Verifying volume “Biclops”
Checking storage systemChecking volume.
disk2: Scan for Volume Headers
Invalid Volume Header @ 0: incorrect block type
Invalid Volume Header @ 1999734001152: incorrect block type
disk2 is not a CoreStorage volume
Error: Storage system verify or repair failed.
I can still seemingly use and stream and backup to this drive, but I'm now weary of proceeding due to this error I've never seen before. Do I have to move off the several hundred gbs of stuff and reformat? Or, is this drive turning to toast?
Also, another quick question, why aren't the 7200rpm drives in the new Mac minis SMART enabled? I find this odd in this day in age...
