Smart Update gets hung up after OS upgrade
First, let me apologize for asking two questions within minutes! (No hurry on the answers.)
A few weeks ago, I created my first bootable clone using SuperDuper. At that time, I was using Mac OS 10.4.2. Subsequent Smart Updates took about 10 minutes to perform. Recently, I upgraded to OS 10.4.11. Now, when I run a Smart Update, the process stalls each time for a period of about 10 minutes while it appears that no files are examined or copied. The Smart Updates eventually are completed successfully after 20-25 minutes (40GB HD with about 5GB available), but I'm wondering if this stalling is indicative of some kind of problem. (If it helps, after my last Smart Update, I looked at the log, and it showed many, many lines for the exact same time. Almost every line line contained in the log during the stall started "ignoring/private/var/temp/..., followed by a string of numbers.) Is this normal? Thanks, -Bob |
It means something's writing a lot of files to the temporary folder. Try restarting your Mac.

You're a damn genius, Dave! Thanks a lot.
I just ran a Smart Update after starting up my laptop this morning, and it ran without stalling. It took about the same length of time (about 11 minutes) as it did before I installed my new system software. The log still showed a ton of "temp" files, but they didn't seem to delay things. Thanks again, Dave. -Bob |
Glad to hear it's back to normal, Bob.
