| Repairing Permissions in Leopard...1st time...
Hello, After installing Leopard and moving over all sorts of software, re-installing etc, I wanted to repair the permissions just to make sure everything was ok, but when I went into disk repair, and when I try to repair permissions, it just sits there forever.....Is it supposed to take a long time to repair permissions the first time out? - I did a complete erase / install and my HD is 400GB, I set up only one partition.... Any Ideas? - Ray  |

maybe it's still updating spotlight index or doing something else preventing disk utility from working correctly?

hm. same problem _here_ it seems. :/ anyone know what's to do? both starting from the leo DVD and from within the booted leopard system, permissions can't be repaired, the process just hangs around.

oh, it's not the same problem here. after letting it sit for 20 minutes, it simply said it was done. no messages appearing though, like it didn't have to do anything... hmm...

It just takes its time without actually telling you its doing anything. Just let it run and it will finish eventually.

Hmm... I'm considering this a bug, actually. Something like repairing file permissions should _always_ be verbose, or at least show some kind of a progress bar - but still report what was changed at the end.
