End of File Errors happen in pretty well every OS I’ve used (Wintel, UNIX,
\nMac, Atari and Commodore AMiga)… from time to time. What happens is that
\nthe file mapping file gets screwed (by a few bad bits, or an interrupted
\nsave or whatever) and this then sets attributes for that file which can be
\nway outta whack. For example if could tell the OS that the file is 2000
\nterabytes long, and contained in sectors that don’t exist on the volume in
\nquestion.<\/p>\n
When the time comes to access the file … the OS takes this screwed up
\ninfo and compares it to the volume characteristics it has on file and, in
\nthe MacOS and Wintel case (no version fo UNIX I’ve used treats this as a
\nfatal error) … crashes big-time because the conflict can’t be resolved.<\/p>\n
Solution … do regular file integrity checks using Nortons, TechTool,
\nApple’s Disk First Aid etc … and watch what they tell you. If they tell
\nyou a file is corrupted by a bad EOF don’t boot it. Try to repair it, and
\nif that’s not successful trash the puppy. Everyone does back-ups of
\ncrucial data files, so it should simply be a matter of copying it back
\nonto the machine from your backup.<\/p>\n
Often on the Mac these file related errors happen in Preference or app
\nassociated files that are loaded when the app loads … which can be a
\nbummer. But regular file integrity checks tend to nail the suckers as they
\nappear.<\/p>\n
If the file being corrupted is always the same, or if the files concerned
\nare being corrupted under the same sets of circumstances then you may have
\neither an extension conflict or a ‘bad’ appplication. Also, check that
\nyou’ve installed all the OS and app bug-fixes from Apple and the
\napplication suppliers) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
