GroundZero Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I installed 10.4.4 from cd to a usb hard drive and was having problems that seemed to be related to permissions. I tried to do a diskutil repairPermissions and it told me operation not permitted when trying to set the proper permissions. I checked the partition with DiskUtil on the 10.4.4 cd and an installed 10.4.5 system. Neither system allows me to verify or repair permissions and Owners Enabled says No. I tried Apple, PC, and GUID Partition Schemes in Partition Options, but nothing seems to enable owners on the partition. Anyone know of a way to format an external drive on the usb bus with Owners Enabled?

GroundZero Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 Tried dd'ing my working drive to my usb disk to no avail. I wonder if Owner are blocked on usb somehow.
