I had a 12TB WD drive go wonky on me just lately. It will present on Disk Utility however not mount. I attempted some Terminal instructions to power mount which failed. There are two partitions on my drive. One is about 12TB and the opposite is 150MB or so. I used to be in a position to mount the 150MB partition simply wonderful utilizing Terminal, however not the partition I want (with all my backup video initiatives).
I had the brilliant concept of making a disc picture of the 12TB parition onto a RAID drive. It took about 26 hours however it made it efficiently, however break up the dmg recordsdata into components. I attempted to open the primary dmg file and it did not work, as I learn ought to work. Nice. So I learn someplace that I might attempt to piece the components again collectively. I began to create a folder disk picture of all of the dmg components. It was at about 90% carried out on the progress bar after an entire day so I left it clinking away in a single day.
I come again this morning and the progress bar is at perhaps 5%. There isn’t a cancel button and I am afraid so screwing my new RAID drive up by power quitting Disk Utility. I do not thoughts if I screw up the picture file I am attempting to create however I simply bought this RAID drive.
Please assist! Ought to I simply wait to see if it finishes? Why did the progress bar return down? Is the RAID drive I am creating the disc picture folder on in any hazard of corruption if I power stop Disk Utility?
Any insights can be drastically appreciated!
Thanks
- I checked Exercise Monitor and evidently Disk Utility isn’t doing a lot of something. It did pop as much as 0.1% CPU at one level. I even have one thing referred to as com.apple.hiservices-xpcservice that is not responding. And the System share is crimson between 5-8%.
