kuuldor Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I've just installed iAtkos v4i on my Dell XPS M1330 laptop. After some tuning it works fine except one thing. A daemon program named /usr/bin/ResDaemon access disk so frequently that my hard drive makes a very annoying clucking sound. It worried me the hard drive will fail 10 times faster than it should be. After I removed the program and killed the process, I found the following messages in the Console: com.apple.launchd[138] (org.nawcom.ResDaemon) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds com.apple.launchd[138] (org.nawcom.ResDaemon[3204]) posix_spawnp("/usr/bin/ResDaemon", ...): No such file or directory Anybody has idea what does this program do?

gustl Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hi i got the same problem. With iAtkos V7. Noticed a lot of harddrive access and looked with fseventer. It showed that the file /private/tmp/Resolution is accessed very often (3 times per second). by killing the resdaemon the access stops and i noticed no other changes. So how do i disable the daemon permanently? Or change it not to access the drive so often? Thanks! edit: login root password: cd /usr/bin/ mv ResDaemon ResDaemon.bak simply renamed - it doesn't respawn. now rebooting and hoping^^ edit2: booted very well with no errors ... and even the speed of the drive is better now. -gb- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
