Tiger is effected as well!
I just had a nasty bit of a pickle today concerning this hint. Thank the Gods and Goddesses that this hint was here or I'd have have had to take a long trip to the Apple store. Anyway I'm using Tiger 10.4.2 and just installed the latest updates for 8/9/05 and the finder just started freezing with the indefinite pin-wheel. At first it started with me inserting a Neverwinter Nights CD and soon every time I'd reboot. Had to force power off by holding the power button for 10 sec since the system would render itself unusable (I didn't try SSH). So I rebooted and entered single user mode (hold Apple-S keys while you turn on machine). I then read the system.log file to try and diagnose what happened.
I found at the end that a program called coreservicesd crashed and an attempt to dump the core and crash report was done. So I went to my handy dandy macosxhints search tool and found this thread and attempted to try the suggested fix.
This fixed it! So this infamous "Cache" problem still happens in Tiger. To all ye best of luck.

I have 10.4.2 and was unable to log on, even in safe mode.
More symptoms to this "cache" bug
This solution helped me today so I thought I'd provide more symptoms to the bug. We're running a PPC Duel G5 on MacOS 10.3.9 in a graphics environment.

Worked like a charm for me.

Confirmed that 10.4.2 still has this problem. I think it started after a network drive was improperly removed.
Tiger (10.4.9) is effected as well!
10.4.9 still seems to be affected by this. My computer has been hanging almost every day, and it happens especially when our backup porcess occurs. I have changed the name of Caches using sudo, and hopefully it will do the trick.
Leopard is affected as well!
Ran into the same problem under 10.5.1. Was able to boot in single-user mode and browsed the log files. Found that coreservicesd crashed right after booting, even before I got the login window. Followed the tip here about moving it, rebooted, and was good to go.
OS X Server 10.5.7 is affected as well!
Ran into this same problem on OS X Server 10.5.7. mdworker and coreservicesd were crashing repeatedly about 1 minute after boot and the UI became frozen. Luckily I could SSH in and move the Cache folder as said. |
