Hi,

I am using an encrypted sparsebundle to backup files. The other day I was loading some files onto the sparsebundle and my Mac Pro shutdown (power-failure). Since then I can't mount, unmount or eject the sparsebundle. It just shows up grayed out in Disk Utility after entering the pass.

Checking in termina (fsck_hfs), this is what comes up:

/dev/rdisk12s2: /dev/rdisk12s2: ** /dev/rdisk12s2
/dev/rdisk12s2: Executing fsck_hfs (version hfs-285).
/dev/rdisk12s2: ** Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
/dev/rdisk12s2: The volume name is Files
/dev/rdisk12s2: ** Checking extents overflow file.
/dev/rdisk12s2: ** Checking catalog file.
/dev/rdisk12s2: Incorrect block count for file temp46252
/dev/rdisk12s2: (It should be 17 instead of 0)
/dev/rdisk12s2: Incorrect block count for file temp46500
/dev/rdisk12s2: (It should be 90257 instead of 0)
/dev/rdisk12s2: ** Checking multi-linked files.
/dev/rdisk12s2: ** Checking catalog hierarchy.
/dev/rdisk12s2: ** Checking extended attributes file.
/dev/rdisk12s2: Invalid record count
/dev/rdisk12s2: (8, 3)
/dev/rdisk12s2: ** The volume Files could not be verified completely.
/dev/rdisk12s2: fsck_hfs completed at Wed Jul 23 01:22:21 2014

So looks like the temporary files are messing up, any ideas on how to fix it? I can't repair the sparsbundle in disk util, fails each time.

Thanks!
 
I had the same thing happen to me when a short power shortage caused my router to drop out for a second or 2. I repartitioned and started over. Not to say you can't save it but you'll want to redo it anyway so simply repartition the drive its on.

It's not a TM backup, but having tried everything I might just have to do that :(
