REDUNDEAD "could not create" error

[Axis Media]

I was trying to recover media off of a formatted CF card with the new redundead beta. The card has only been re-formatted in camera and no clips have been recorded on the card since.

After typing the command in terminal:

redundead /dev/rdisk6 /Volumes/newdisk

(my CF card happens to be in disk 6)

I receive:

Found File: A013_C001_0625DS_002.R3D
Could not create /Volumes/newdisk

I tried changing the directory, running as root, etc.... no luck!

Then.... I manually entered "mkdir /Volumes/newdisk" (PRESS ENTER)

then the redundead command above and it wrote and closed 7 files!

but then the R3D files were nowhere to be found, except they were visible in terminal if I type "cd /Volumes/newdisk" and enter "ls"

I was able to manually create a folder called Temp on my boot drive in Finder, then type "mv *.R3D /Temp" for every recovered file to move each one. My question.... is there an easier way to locate the recovered files???

I hope any of this info is helpful.

You may have to login as root to run some of those commands. just type "sudo -s" enter your root pw and you're good to go!

Had the same problem. For me trying to write to a drive that included spaces in the name was the culprit.

So "Macintosh HD" did not work [e.g. I got the "could not create volume" error], where "MacintoshHD" worked.

Go figure.

The spaces issue is because the command line is very specific on how things must be entered. You must escape the spaces.

Or you could use R3D Data Manager which provides a GUI to the process, and overcomes these limitations.
