Well, that certainly explains why I get the same results every time I run the file structure test on DW and why I'll now stop wondering "Gee, why doesn't it ever fix these?"

Interesting bit.....I just ran the same test on both DiskWarrior and TechTool Pro. Not only are the two results very different, there isn't a single file common to both. DW had the most ominous messages.


DiskWarrior - Identified 5 Files

3 said - File: "Localized.rsrc"! Detected that the resource header is damaged and cannot be repaired

2 said - File: "com.apple.iphotomosaic.plist"! Detected that Property List data is damaged and cannot be repaired.

TechTool Pro - Identified 10 Files

8 said - File is corrupt or is an unsupported file format (6 were .jpg, 2 were .png)

2 said - The end of the file was reached: (Both were .gif)


Okay, well maybe it's not that interesting....but it's at least curious.
