Yesterday evening I started my rsync-script which moved about 50 GB of flac-files from our MacBook to the external disk, which I have done many times before. Also knowing that after a period of inactivty after the script have finished the Mac would do a shutdown. No problem at all. So this morning I got up and wanted to unmount the disk, but for some reason it would not accept my well known password. After a few tries I rebooted the machine and voila&#8230;no account other than the guest account was available. <\/p>\n<p>Did some research during the day and realized that I would maybe have been able to get around the problem if logging in using another account and then enable root&#8230;but&#8230;using the guest account, seems impossible. Fu\u00a4%!! <\/p>\n<p>Luckily I do not think we have lost much data, but am I really pissed &#8211; YES!!! We have bought according to my standards an expensive computer with an operating system as expensive as the hardware, and then I find info saying &#8220;&#8230;disk image formats can become corrupted&#8230;&#8221;. If it had been my Linux-distro which I have costed me&#8230;zero&#8230;I could have managed, but OS X&#8230;aaaaarrrghhhh!!!<\/p>\n<p>So complete reinstall seems to be the only way&#8230;shoot!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;&#8230;.The file system directory in any of these disk image formats can become corrupted.
