And plus the next 2 messages have something to do with automator, spotlight or some compression.
Also there are 2 blank lines after the I/O message. I know I/O error means bad sectors so erasing might help but i need help before i go to that. I checked the console and everytime there is a hang the following messages are displayed.ġ/25/10 10:00:30 PM kernel disk0s2: I/O error.ġ/25/10 10:00:30 PM kernel /SourceCache/AppleFSCompression/AppleFSCompression-24/Common/commonUtilsKern.c: 337: VNOP_GETXATTR for /System/Library/Spotlight/Automator.mdimporter/Contents/MacOS/Automator: 5: errorġ/25/10 10:00:30 PM kernel /SourceCache/AppleFSCompression/AppleFSCompression-24/Compressors/Type4/compres sorType4Imp.c:88: fh_getxattr /System/Library/Spotlight/Automator.mdimporter/Contents/MacOS/Automator: error I still cannot find a solution to this problem (Apart from a zero wipe of the Hard disc and an OS reinstall but it seems far fetched.
Yet the problem persists and the Repair Disc utility finds problems every time i reboot my computer. I also did a fsck -fy from single user mode. I did a repair disc several times untill it said OK. The hang stays for anywhere from 10-50 seconds and is repeated at anywhere from 5-30 minutes. Since the past 3 days I have been experiencing frequent hangs where one application or sometimes several applications hang with a beachball(rainbow) wheel. I have a 17" Macbook Pro with 4GB RAM and 3.06GHz processor.
