Surprised this isn't more widely covered... or maybe I've missed the best way to search it but I've got a read/write sparseimage (not the first time this has happened) that's enormous in size but when mounted shows 0 files. The image has been the destination for an afp backup for quite some time and should contain hundreds of gigs of data. The size seems to be correct but when mounted shows nothing. Disk utility seems to imply the volume is ok, but disk warrior says "successfully built a new directory for the disk named "xyz". The new directory cannot replace the original directory due to a Mac OS services failure." Volume on the image is jhfs+. With os set to show all files, it does show the hidden trash, spotlight and .fseventsd folders. Is it possible the contents were erased? Would a read/write sparse image still show as enormous if files were deleted? Any thoughts would be hugely appreciated.
