HFS+ Journal is corrupt

This posting saved my bacon today:

…we had an HFS+ filesystem at work that had become corrupted to the point that fsck and DiskWarrior wouldn’t fix it. The problem was that the journal had become corrupted, and fsck.hfs doesn’t know how to actually fix the journal.

I used his code to hack on the partition, disable the journal, and got the files back. Awesome.

Send To will not work

david — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 17:53:03 +0000

Symptom: I’m using Outlook 2007, and I can’t use the Send To function if Outlook is closed. If Outlook is open, it works fine. If Outlook is closed, then any attempt to create a message using the normal MAPI Send To function fails to open. I see Outlook is running in Task Manager, but it never opens a window.

For Example: If I use Word 2007 and select Send – Email, Word sits around forever waiting for Outlook to open. If I finally kill Outlook in Task Manager, then Word pops back with the message Word couldn’t send mail because of MAPI failure: “Unspecified error.”

I have similar problems using the Windows XP right-click “Sent To – Mail Recipient” feature.

If Outlook is alreay open, it all works perfectly.

After many attempts to clean up, repair Office, knowledge base searches, etc… I finally found the answer buried at the bottom of a forum posting here: http://office-outlook.com/outlook-forum/index.php?t=msg&th=133715/

Uninstalling Apples Mobile Device Support (part of an Itunes install) fixed it.

Weird. I uninstalled that component and all is well now.

The IPSec driver has entered Block mode.

david — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 14:49:02 +0000

A customer recently had a intermittent problem with a Windows 2003 server. After a reboot, the server would appear to be running, but was not available over the network. In addition, the IPSEC service didn’t start properly and was in “blocked” mode. The exact error messages we received were:

The IPSec driver has entered Block mode. IPSec will discard all inbound and outbound TCP/IP network traffic that is not permitted by boot-time IPSec Policy exemptions. User Action: To restore full unsecured TCP/IP connectivity, disable the IPSec services, and then restart the computer. For detailed troubleshooting information, review the events in the Security event log.

Followed by:

The IPSEC Services service terminated with the following error:
Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted.
