"Failed to Enable Ownership" with Leopard
I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Leopard, set everything up all nice and spiffy, tried to create a sparse disk image on an external drive, and got this:
X Failed to enable ownership on MBPWhere "MBP" is the name of the hard drive in my MacBook Pro. I repaired permissions — no luck. I logged in as administrator — still no luck. As a last resort, I connected a firewire external drive with a copy of my Tiger install, booted that, and launched SD. Syccess! I created a sparse disk image of MBP on the external drive with no problems. I am assuming that this "failed to enable ownership" thing is a Leopard-specific glitch. If so, any idea as to when this can be resolved? Not that I'm in a hurry — it's just that the availability of a SD upgrade is one of the factors that will determine when I upgrade my Mac Pro, which is my primary, mission-critical computer. Thanks! |

We're not yet compatible with Leopard, but I'd need to see the log from those runs to be able to tell what was going on.

Ooops! Logs are gone — I'll re-do
Too late — the logs are gone. When I'm finished doing some other "fun" stuff with the computer, I'll try to run SD again from the Leopard volume, and I'll post the log info. All I remember from the previous versions was that the last line in the log repeated the "failed to enable ownership" bit and suggested I restart the computer, which didn't fix the problem.
Cheers! |

The logs shouldn't be gone: cmd+click the title bar of the log and choose the "logs" folder. Or, better, click "Send to shirt pocket" and send them all to me.
