A possible fix for 'overlapped extent allocation' errors
Authored by: everydave on Mar 05, '03 09:55:42AM

I had a G4 DP 867 with the overlapped extent allocation error, and after reading about the DiskWarrior fix I downloaded it and gave it a try by hooking a G4 laptop up to the tower via Firewire Target Disk Mode, as this was the only way the HD could be recognized. I let DW run, and, two days later, it was at 4400 files found, but no fix. Having had enough of that, I ran Tech Tool Pro from the laptop, and about an hour later, it had fixed it. Something of note, when running the individual fix for volume structure, it was taking a very long time, but when I ran Tech Tool Pro in the "Auto" mode that checks everything, it zipped right throught the problem.
