sudden glut of "Policy Error Executing Maintenance on __"messages

[dustydorey]

Are all the error messages identical, other than individual machine
identifiers of course? It would seem odd that you'd suddenly have a
slew of machines all need their hard drive repaired at the same time.

If they were not all identical messages, at what other points were the
machines failing in their error logs?

Dustin,

Yes, all of the error messages have this identical infomation:

The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired Error detected while verifying/repairing volume disk0s2 Macintosh HD:
Filesystem verify or repair failed (-9957)

Finished verify/repair volume (filesystem) on disk disk0s2 Macintosh HD Error detected while verifying/repairing volume disk0s2 Macintosh HD:
Filesystem verify or repair failed (-9957)

I agree that this is very strange!

Have you done a spot check on any of these machines and done a verify with
the GUI or SSH and run the diskutil command to see if you get the same
error?

Yes, and I haven't seen any problems on the few I've checked out...

Hi,

I get exactly the same message and have done for well over a year if not longer, from version 6 of casper and no to 7.

I did post on here before but got no reply, i get 5-10 of these a day so i built a netboot image that would boot and repair the local drive and then restart the mac back to its local drive, this fixes the problem for a while but it comes back, it happens on all my macs eventually so i have no idea what causes it, but it seems to have little or no effect.

Sorry i cant help with the cause but now i just ignore them as it seems to have little impact and more hassel running the disk repair netboot than just leaving it until the next image is ready

But it still like to know if anyone else can find the cause
