EV_DELETE failed for filewatcher [BUG]

[sukkel]

I searched along, but could not find any related topic, so here is my question.

 

Am I the only one who get this messages?

Is there a fix or something?

I also see a WindowServer bug!

Several issues which doesn't seem to harm the OS, but it would be nice if I can solve it.

 

 

02-10-09 15:47:20	com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[150]	(com.apple.ReportCrash) Falling back to default Mach exception handler. Could not find: com.apple.ReportCrash.Self

Does "error = Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-35" has something to do with UUID? It did made the folder, an alias of it and it works as normal, the error doesn't seem to have any impact.

Any Help is apreciated

I'm getting the same messages. Any joy on a fix?

I had the same problem and found a fix:

this error comes from the file_watcher module from notifyd when some permissions are buggy (unknown)

So check that / and the first level files and folder under / are not unknown. (use 'ls -l / 'command in terminal to check them)

If they are with bad owner and/or group 'unknown' (or some of them),

use chown root:wheel my_file to correct them (where myfile is a file with weird owner/group)

then execute the following in a Terminal window:

 

sudo chown root:admin /

sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel

sudo kextcache -system-caches

 

It solved the problem for me.

 

Hope this help.
