Use Caution
I had a conversation about the BootCacheControl situation:

So how does one go about removing this modification after the fact. I applied the original fix in Terminal as written... everything seemed fine. But now based on what I am reading it seems best to get back to what was there in the first place.
Use Caution
To reverse it you need to look at what the command you entered is doing:
This means using elevated priviliges (Superuser Do) make a symbolic link to the file to the BootCacheControl file found in /System/Library/Extensions/BootCache.kext/Contents/Resources/
and place the symlink in:
/usr/sbin/BootCacheControlNow you know where that symlink was created you can simply open the folder by using the Finder's GO Menu command 'Go to Folder' and enter /usr/sbin/ in the search field and delete the BootCacheControl file from there. or alternatively:
Which will remove a file (showing the removal and asking for confirmation to remove)
Use Caution
That helps explain some things for me (maybe). I wondered why I could not boot from my external FW drives. I BU using psync and usually reboot from the external to make sure it is working. It has not. I have a couple of different FW drives so I thought that may be it. I need to 'undo' the fix; applied via command line on my TiBook but with 'SpeedStart' on my Cube and iBook (could not find the source of the original fix even with Google). |
