okay, gathering the info shared here and trying to clean up my Mac Mini (which has been chugging along nicely since i booted from my external), i erased my internal and recloned the external partition i'm booted from onto the internal. so far so good. then i decided to run Disk Utility on the internal before i reboot onto it. Repaired permissions. fine. ran disk repair. PROBLEM. hmmm. ran disk verify. PROBLEM - disk needs to be repaired! i run repair again. this is the message:
Verify and Repair disk “Macintosh HD”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Invalid key length
Volume check failed.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
1 volume could not be repaired because of an error
oh crap! now what? should i run Disk Warrior? should i go ahead and boot from the internal any way and see what happens?
