The easiest way that occurs to me ... (possibly there are easier ways?) ... to check if Spotlight is causing this problem is to turn off Spotlight indexing for those drives. Open Spotlight in System Preferences and add the external drives to the "Privacy" tab. That should turn off indexing for those drives. (The drives will of course need to be attached to the machine so that they can been "seen" by OS X in order to exclude from indexing). Since your son's machine is using Snow Leopard I would hope it's not a case of Spotlight being fooed up.

If HFS+ journaling was the problem then you'd see it all the time since (I'm guessing) the boot drive on the iMac uses the journaled version of OS Extended. (I would expect that is how Apple ships it). I would think the problem is with something else. Is there an app which starts when the system boots which might be trying to catalog/scan the (video?) files on the externals? -irrational john -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
