mount_hfs: stat /private/tmp/SVUmount: No such file or directory

I'm trying to backup a drive and get this error when I try. I've checked the disks with Disk Utility and all is fine.

Log file below.

That's curious. The implication seems to be that you don't have a temporary directory! Could that be the case?

Maybe you should use a sparse image instead -- see this post in the FAQ for the technique to use.

both /tmp and /private/tmp exist

Permissions on /tmp are:

drwxrwxrwx 39 root wheel 1326 4 Oct 15:43 tmp

Permissions on /private/tmp are:

G5:~ myuser$ ls -l /private/tmp/
total 0
drwx------ 3 myuser wheel 102 4 Oct 15:38 501

Interesting. Well, I don't know why mount would refuse/fail to mount the image, but using the sparse image should resolve the problem...

That's what the link in the previous message points to... take a look there and it should be clearer.

Are you writing to an image for a reason? I assumed so, but if it's the only option available, that's because the destination isn't HFS+. There's another FAQ entry that covers that situation, too.

Oops... guess I need new glasses. 8-) I'll take a look. The reason for the image is I'm trying to make a virgin copy of a system install with all software (web, database and others) to build another server in a hurry if necessary (and keep a copy on DVD). Thanks.

Ah, OK. The problem you might run into is that the imaging framework in OSX is buggy in 10.3.9 -> 10.4.2. Sparse Images will be creatable, but conversion to DMG tends to fail. That's another reason to use a sparse image.

But, sparse images don't get block copied on restore. So, they're not faster than a regular file-by-file copy direct to a volume.

Thanks... anything is faster than a half a day installing (and building) all the components I need. (If a drive dies) So a sparse image should be fine.

Ah yes, indeed. Much better than that!
