(That's a bit unfair to Finder as, unlike a USB external drive, it's not going to know I've disconnect what it was looking at.) Finder locked up (beachball) and I got the above error after Force Quitting it and trying to launch it again. I caused this error just now because I restarted the Ubuntu machine while I was browsing the Time Machine drive with Finder. This works brilliantly as a Time Machine backup solution. My Snow Leopard iMac connects to it using GlobalSAN iSCSI Initiator: I formatted it as Mac OS Extended and off I went. It is simply a PC in my garage running Ubuntu with one drive exposed as a target. I use Time Machine to backup to an iSCSI target on my network. I'm not too concerned as I sort of caused it myself - but I'll explain my environment as it might help get this fixed. Here is the output ( I truncated a lot of the columns and processes so it's readable ) : *1229 ttys002 0:00.02 login -pf KelSolaar*Ī Top sorted by State shows Launchd as stuck, it's maybe related, I don't know □ *1242 ? 0:00.11 /System/Library/Frameworks/amework/Frameworks/amework /Versions/A/Support/mdworker MDSImporterWorker .89* *1109 ? 0:02.81 /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/MacOS/Dock* I checked the Processes a bit and something interesting is that I have a lot of processes with a TTY set to ? and I don't really know what that mean. */dev/disk0s2 624470624 262051904 361906720 42% /*Īnd I would like to avoid if possible to reboot because I have a rsync backup running since 10 hours, I don't want to start again. *Filesystem 512-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on* The disk space is ok ( Remember I can't access the finder, so I'm stuck on Terminal ) : Is there a way to manually relaunch it ( I don't want to reboot, my computer is stuck backing up a lot of files ) ? I tried Sudo Launch the Finder from /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS with no luck, any help would be appreciated. I ended up doing it with rsync, the copy is still going on ( it will take a long time ) but I'm left with a Zombie Computer where I can't open a finder, and every Application that use it to open some file is crashing itself. Restarting the Computer ( Mac Book Pro Uni ) usually fix that, but it's the second time that it's crashing a 220 go files package copy. *The application Finder.app can't be opened.* I don't really know which one of them is making the others unstable / crash but well that's starting to be very irritating, now when I try to start the Finder I get this : An initiator is not included with the purchase of a Mac, so we created globalSAN to bring iSCSI to your Mac.I upgraded to Snow Leopard yesterday, and I'm having a lot of troubles, Finde, Time Machine and Disk Utility being the most annoying of them. In an iSCSI SAN, an initiator is needed on each computer that requires access to the networked storage. Depending on the speed of your network, an iSCSI-based storage area network (SAN) can rival the performance of a Fibre Channel SAN, and can cost far less to implement. One major advantage of iSCSI is that it can work over your existing Ethernet infrastructure. ISCSI is a network protocol standard that enables the transport of block-level I/O over TCP/IP. The globalSAN® iSCSI Initiator enables Mac computers to connect to practically any iSCSI storage target, using standard GbE or 10GbE hardware.
