![]() ![]() I figure I am mid-project on so many albums simultaneously - and all of them my own this time, so no waiting clients to worry about - that I might as well do it now, before the next OS X version comes out and El Capitan becomes much harder to choose (though I downloaded the installers and made a boot drive).Īnyway, all of this news about networking fixes makes me feel safer in doing the upgrade, and more confident that it will fix my current situation, which has been degrading for months but especially the past two weeks. So I did full backups last night, and plan to finally move to El Capitan tomorrow night (or tonight, if I get home early enough). I thought maybe it was due to running the latest Yosemite updates on Sunday or Monday, but due to creeping issues the past few months, have started to feel orphaned. I have in particular almost been unable at all to get anything done from home when I remote to my Windows box from my MacPro. Great information! I have been going through total technical nightmares these past few days, and was wondering if it was specific to my ISP (Wave/Astound), locality, or a general networking problem due to the RNC this week and all the major world events last week. Of course, when I do that, I lose access to everything else so I can't perform these functions in the background.įormatting new SSDs has been without incident in El Cap. I created a small Yosemite boot partition and, when I boot from that, DU works as it should and these drives now behave properly. Normally you fix this in Get Info but that isn't working. The issue is that none of my backup drives (Time Capsules excluded) allow me the proper privileges and permissions anymore. DU passes many drives that fail some parameters in TTP. I run the SMART test in TechTool Pro which gives me a graph on each parameter instead of Pass/Fail like Disk Utility. ![]() So known defective drives are behaving while known good drives are not. Both of those had SMART problems and I just wanted to write to zeros before recycling. I don't mind that but every HHD that I have tried to erase and reformat has become corrupted except for two. Erasing doesn't always remove partitions and many other issues. The buttons are there but they don't behave the same way-you can't write zeros on a drive anymore, only the volumes.

I haven't had need yet in El Capitan for DU, but this is bad. ![]()
