Q: Full Server upgrade and permissions
Hello All,
I maintain a Mac Pro 3.2 Xeon file server running Lion 10.7.5 with eight IMac's connected to it and I have been getting a lot of "Permissions Differ ...... " error messages when I run the built in Disk Utility.
I would like to run a GUI or command line syntax that actually checks the physical surface of the mirrored RAID array like CHKDSK /r does for Windows because even the SMART status is "Not Supported" in Disk utility.
The ONLY application that is not Macintosh on this server is Carbon Copy Cloner ........ only because Time Machine only support the boot drive. I never install non-vetted third party software........ My Windows end-users do that enough to keep me eating steaks ....so I know better (LOL).
I perform scheduled backups to 2 swapped out external FireWire hard drives.
And no one but else touches "Wall-e"....... so there are no Trojans, spy ware or ad ware on it.
The other question I would like to ask is.........
If I upgrade this server to Mavericks 10.9 is there anything in particular that I need to watch out for?
Thanks in advance (smile)
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5), File server
