After roughly twenty four hours of working and waiting on Danielle’s computer I have the hard drive uncorrupted and Time Machine<\/a> working! It turns out that despite my previous thought that the corrupt drive was preventing backups from happening<\/a> it was actually something else: the entries for the shared drive on the AirPort in the System Keychain<\/a> somehow weren’t working right. Deleting them and allowing them to be recreated fixed things.<\/p>\n

Since I have syslog<\/a> on the AirPorts logging to pfSense<\/a> (on the alix2d1<\/a>). By using that along with logs on the Mac I could see that everything was pointing to an authentication issue. The user account could access the drive just fine, but Time Machine sets the shared drive’s password in the System<\/em> Keychain during setup, so I then looked there. Seeing a number of entries for Core<\/em>, the name of the AP, I removed them all and set things up again. Suddenly Time Machine created its .sparsebundle<\/a>, mounted it, and set off backing things up. While I don’t know exactly what was wrong (conflicting Keychain entries? wrong one getting read? defective Keychain?) at least I know what got things working again.<\/p>\n

I’ve plugged the machine into a wired connection to hurry things along, but hopefully the remaining ~107GB of data will be backed up before Danielle gets here. Then hopefully it’ll keep working…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
