Plist corruption
Guys
Try to make this short.
For months now I have been struggling with LaCie senior tech support trying to find out why my 12T RAID keeps going down.
It will show in the DUtil but will not mount, nor will it allow any other action to change behavior.
This led the techs to corrupt data. This happened a few months ago and I wound up re-buyilding my entire array. Luckily, I have a second 12T that is a mirror of the first.
This time, no such luck. I did, however manage to rebuild the directory structure through DiskWarrior and the drive seesm to mount.
I also ran a scan on the file structure to see if I could pin-point where the corruption was coming from. Out of millions of files,
the Aperture .plist files ( 67 of them ) were corrupt.
My question is - what to do next ? How to avoid this from happening and what are the implications ?
What exactly does the .plist carry ( i know its prefs, but what exactly ? ) and can I just nuke these altogether with no effect to my workflow.
The library, at fist glance does not seem to be affected.
Aperture also seems to be moving slowly and crashing //
Any direction or similar experiences welcome //
