Remove 'ACL found but not expected' errors in Disk Utility
I would strongly discourage the use of this tool. As the author notes the vast majority of those ACL disk utility messages are harmless. Moreover, many of them are just plain wrong and the ACLs reported should actually be there and should NOT be removed. I would often get such messages about /Library and /Applications on my Leopard systems. Upon examination, the only ACLs present on those folders were "everyone deny delete" which should definitely be there.
Remove 'ACL found but not expected' errors in Disk Utility
Yes, as I pointed out they are relatively harmless in the normal sense of the word; they will not hurt your computer. But where it gets annoying is when a permissions repair takes 3 hours, with hundreds of errors, when it should only take 10 minutes. Also, "everyone deny delete" is not necessary if you know your way around a computer (which I'm sure most people here do), and just gets annoying when you really want to delete something and you end up having to Cmd-I, authenticate, and change all the permissions manually. |
