time machine woes
Time Machine stopped working today with system.log containing the error: “/System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[629]: Indexing a file failed. Returned -1130 for: /.DS_Store”
nice.
After much googling and poking around, I saw that the mount point for the backup drive (a time capsule) in /Volumes was hanging around even after the drive was unmounted, probably thanks to Spotlight placing a .DS_Store file there. After removing the directory and installing some updates (including updates to TM and TC) all seems back to normal. Not sure what did the trick, or what caused the problem (sleeping the machine while TM was running?)..
