Flagged Drives Create Access Privilege Issues
Upon trying to open up permissions between 2 accounts in Snow Leopard I caused the os to crash - restarting/turning off then on did nothing - the os would no longer load. I took it into Apple where they got the os back up and running with a slight twist. The secondary drive was flagged (a little lock icon appeared over the standard icon). Basically this rendered the drive unaccessible. I used:

chflags -R nouchg /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD\ 2

via in an administrative account. This fixed the problem of access for this particular drive but left a soon-to-be-found secondary problem. Every drive that I would mount ended up mounting in this flagged state. I would execute the command above and things would seem to be fine. The problem occurs if and when I copy files from an external drive to the secondary drive. If I try to open those files from the secondary, the application responsible for accessing the files cannot access the files and throws an access privilege error. My main reason for copying files from external drives to the secondary is to take advantage of internal bus speeds for apps that use a lot of realtime processing.

crash

CRASH(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						  CRASH(8)

NAME

     crash -- examine and debug system images

SYNOPSIS

     crash [-M core] [-N kernel]

DESCRIPTION

     The crash command is used to examine and debug system images.

     If run without any arguments, crash operates on the running system.

     The options are as follows:

     -M core	   Operate on the specified crash dump instead of the default /dev/mem.  Crash dumps should be from the same version of the system
		   and same machine architecture as the running version of crash, and must be uncompressed.

     -N kernel	   Extract the name list from the specified kernel instead of the default /dev/ksyms.

     The command syntax used by crash is the same as the in-kernel debugger.  See the ddb(4) manual page for more information.

     Operations and facilities that require a running system, such as breakpoints, are not supported by crash.

     crash does not provide pagination.  However, by using the pipe symbol, output may be sent to commands available from the shell.  For example:

	 crash> ps | more
	 crash> ps | grep ioflush

SEE ALSO

     ps(1), vmstat(1), ddb(4), pstat(8)

HISTORY

     The crash command appeared in NetBSD 6.0.
