#DISKWARRIOR 5 FOR MAC UPDATE#
Update 18:09:25 UTC: After more than five weeks (and 4586 overlapped files) on “Step 6,” I’m giving up. I’ll be crossing the 1-month boundary this week, and if it’s not done by then I’m giving up. I’ve been running DiskWarrior for 4 weeks straight. Update 17:23:46 UTC: Step 6 is on its 19 th day, 2512 overlapped files. Considering that I’ve been running DW for three weeks, they have some reason.)

(Of course, my co-workers have been telling me to bail on this process for quite a while now. I’ve got a lot of time invested in this, but I’m starting to wonder if it’ll be worth it. Update 15:26:00 UTC: 12 days on step 6 now, 1605 overlapped files. Update 00:37:53 UTC: It’s now been almost 9 days since step 5 completed. Update 14:34:20 UTC: 7 days, 935 overlapped files. Update 15:40:36 UTC: Step 6 has been running 6 days. Update 15:48:55 UTC: It spent all weekend on step 6, now up to 675 overlapped files after more than 5 days.

Hopefully tomorrow will be the day I get my data back… Update 23:58:27 UTC: It’s been on step 6 all day, now up to 186 overlapped files detected, sigh. I’ll update this post as steps are finished. There’s no point running DW on failing hardware.
#DISKWARRIOR 5 FOR MAC MANUAL#
Sometime Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, DiskWarrior finally completed “Step 5: Locating directory data…” which gives an elapsed time of 200-216 hours or almost 9 days! It’s currently working on “Step 6: Overlapped files detected: 146” which translates to quite a bit of manual effort for me.
