Mostly just curious.
As part of my backup strategy I clone my HD to an external. I then boot from the external clone and go to Disc Utilities.
From there I run Repair Disc on the main HD. It seldom finds any problem.
I then run Repair Permissions on the main HD. This is typically the longest time consumer of my back up. It always has a fairly long list of permissions it has repaired. Most of them are in:
System/Library/CoreServices
System/Library/Frameworks
and most of the repairs are:
changed to drwxr-xr-x from rwxr-xr-x
It seems like it "fixes" the same permission errors each time I run the repair.
Curious as to why - and if there is way to reduce the time it takes?
What is it telling me it has repaired ("d" + rwxr-xr-x)?
Maybe it's just a non-issue and I should worry about other things instead 🙂
