Well, my night wasn't over yet. Everything looked good, then I thought I'd better repair permissions on the newly-minted backup clone. Half-way through Perm Repair gets stuck, with the drive making it's repetitive sound pattern that I couldn't stop.
Finally, after trying to eject the CCC disk icon and getting the Still in Use message, I quit the browser open on the CCC instructions page, and when I then ejected CCC, the drive's endless fit stopped.
Now I'm wondering if there was a problem here w/CCC, not my drive.
DU repairs perms fine on the old (source) drive, but I hesitate to run it again on the cloned partition, lest I wear a groove right through it... Should I erase and start again, cloning w/DU this time??
