A possible fix for 'overlapped extent allocation' errors
Authored by: MicFlash on Mar 05, '03 01:34:04AM

Hi everyone.

I also had the same problem about a month ago on my Dual 1.25gHz running 10.2.3 (before the 10.2.4 debut). I woke my computer up from sleep, and it was in single-user mode with a bunch of random garbage on the screen. I used the reboot now command to restart, and the restart took over 5 minutes. Once I managed to login, which was another 15 min of waiting, I ran Disk Utility and found numerous OEA errors. All the usual fix-it's didn't work, and I called Apple Tech Support. He suggested I do a full backup and reformat of my main drive. So much for tech support. Still the only thing that cleared up the problem, everything is running smooth now on 10.2.4.
