I use Casper Imaging (9.82) in target disk mode to image my machines. Today I've been running across the strangest issue. There has been some strange issues reformatting drives over target disk mode, but I thought I worked that out. Then I tried to image a machine and it failed.
The system log follows. I've been seeing this a lot and its happened on 3 different MBA's I'm trying to image, specifically the "journal is dirty" line. I don't know why and I'm having a heck of a time figuring out whats going on. If I try to target disk mode image without the "erase" option, it simply fails.
