I have a Drobo that I am attempting to transfer files *from* - onto another unit.
The "bad" volume mounts but is read-only - regardless of what I try to do about it (this includes Disk Utility repair, Disk Warrior rebuild, Cocktail (unavailable)) etc. The permissions are actually displayed correctly - but they are greyed out.
I thought that I would be able to at least get the files off of the troublesome drive using Super Duper (the files are mostly a Time Machine volume) and then perhaps have better luck getting the permissions straightened out on the new volume.
When I attempt to perform a copy using SD, I get an error that SD couldn't take ownership of the bad volume and in the log, this is displayed:
| 04:44:37 PM | Error | vsdbutil: Couldn't update volume information for '/Volumes/DeLorean': Read-only file system
| 04:44:37 PM | Error | vsdbutil: no valid volume UUID found on '/Volumes/DeLorean': Read-only file system
It appears that the volume is there... but isn't - at the same time.
I attempted the command
sudo cp -r /DeLorean /Drobo
which resulted in this error:
cp: /DeLorean: No such file or directory
Using the same command without the "/" before "DeLorean" (the bad volume) started the file copy but there were tons of errors, I assume due to the Time Machine file structure.
Is there anything I can do to get SD to copy these files across? It is read-only... so it should be able to at least READ them?
Thanks so much
