skredii Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Hello, I'm trying to defrag my primary hackint0sh partition from within hackint0sh, with the iDefrag 1.2.2 software. As I hit the defrag button, I got the following error message: I even tried on my backup primary os x partition, same error. So it's not related to the partition beeing used by the system. Any idea anyone? - edit - The error reported in console.log hfs_journal.c:95 (from 0xb6b0): (12) The journal header seems incorrect icon-helper: cannot open volume for device "/dev/disk0s2": Invalid argument - edit - P.S.: Please I don't want to debate here if defrag is useful or not, i know os x has it's own internal defrag system. But hey, I just want o give it a try, see If I can get better perf with a defrag tool. cheers, -skr3dii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-TiLT- Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Maybe you should try to repair the disk and the permissions with diskutil first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolBits Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 1.2.2 does not work on intel mac and even less on hackintosh...thats why that error... there is a 1.5 beta that works so you should wait and upgrade when it comes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skredii Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 Damn right! It's on their website: "iDefrag does not yet support Intel Macs". How do you know there is a 1.5 beta and where is it available? ThX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuXb Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 - run disk utility from your Mac OS x86 install DVD - in the left pane, click on your HFS drive or partiton - in the top menu disable journalling for that drive/ partition - quit disk utility and the installer and boot back into your Mac OS x86 installation. Now iDefrag 1.2.2 should at least start to defrag (after entering one's admin PW a couple of times). However, on my config iDefrag quits after about a minute.

Billmaster Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Guys OSX and HFS+ defrag themselfs. You should not have to defrag. Plus becareful some defrag programs will F your OSX up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc dahle Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Enlightment, please - I would like to get hold of that 1.5 beta, too. If you have a legal copy of 1.2.2 and install it on an Intel based machine, the 15 beta will load during autoupdate..works like a charm defrag.tiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skredii Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 In order to obtain the 1.5 beta, go to IDefrag -> Preferences... Then under updates, uncheck 'Ignore pre-release software' And hit the 'Check for updates now' button. Upgrade now! The update is 3,9 MB. Enjoy! - edit - Just testing it! Works great! Now what is the best algorithm to choose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With my config only "Online" is choosable because the only partition I have is the sys partition which can not be unmounted, and for all the other opts the partition would have to be unmounted. If you ask me the most thorough job would be "Full defrag", right? Anyway, iDefrag just went through doing a online-defrag, even with journalling still active, so that's cool. BTW, HFS is quite good in staying little defragmented, that's rather true, however it's not perfect .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernando Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Hi all, the new iDefrag 1.5.2 is out, has anyone test it ? Does it work with x86 ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teo4 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I got the following error message: I even tried on my backup primary os x partition, same error. So it's not related to the partition beeing used by the system. Any idea anyone? - edit - The error reported in console.log hfs_journal.c:95 (from 0xb6b0): (12) The journal header seems incorrect icon-helper: cannot open volume for device "/dev/disk0s2": Invalid argument I got the exact same error with iDefrag, googled and found this discussion, kept googling around and found: http://dmunsie.wordpress.com/code/hacks/ Which showed how to hack and turn off journaling, but then googling "disable journaling" I got: http://www.castyour.net/node/40 Which (make sure you put the www, it didn't work without it for me) at the bottom of the page solved it so easy I should be embarassed! ..In Disk Utility turn off journaling..Wow! As simple as that was, I turned off journaling and am now doing a full defrag NO PROBLEM! I am so happy I solved this (the disk has 20GB free but the largest block is 15MB???), I had to join this forum and give a reply - hopefully this solves it for you too SKReddie! Go into DiskUtility application and turn off journaling, you may have to hold down the option key to get the menu selection. -Teo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
