Ls Device Not Configured
hard lock up vote 1 down vote favorite I am copying using cp or mv on the command line a large amount (>500gb) of files each sized between 600MB and 2.6GB to an external drive (a Thermaltake BlacX Duet), but after a significant but inconsistent amount of transfer (e.g. 121gb) the following happens: A message pops up in a dialog box that says "The disk was not ejected properly. If possible, always eject a disk before unplugging it or device not configured fuse turning it off." (There were no physical events that took place that would have resulted in a disconnection) The copy fails for an item and all subsequent items, complaining with various errors including: "device not configured" "Invalid argument" (because the destination no longer exists) "No such file or directory" (ibid) The Terminal locks up Executing 'Force Quit' on Terminal quits the Terminal, but it cannot be reopened Finder locks up No applications will start Relaunching Finder causes the menu bar at the top and the dock to disappear Rebooting does not succeed (i.e. one must hard-restart by holding the power button); variations on ejecting (before Finder locks) and unplugging the USB cable appear to have no effect on the inevitability of this result. Note that roughly the same result occurs when attempting the same copy in Finder. In particular the dialog entitled "Copy" remains open, clicking the "Stop copy" "X" button causes an indefinite pause with "Stopping ..." showing. One can still access the Finder, and even read from the drive, but relaunching Finder causes it to display seemingly indefinitely "Application not responding" and in any case one cannot start new applications. After rebooting, the destination has received most of the data. Disk utility reveals no issues with the destination drive. I have Spotlight disabled for the external drive, if that makes any difference. Obviously the expected behaviour from copying is not to have the computer hard-l

This discussion is locked Heidenreich12 Level 1 (0 points) Q: All DMG files https://discussions.apple.com/thread/551315?start=0&tstart=0 "device not configured"?? Alright, this just did start happening. All the dmg files that i try to open, i get the same error. A warning box comes up, and it says, "The following disk images failed to mount" Then it lists the name of the device, example..."vlc-0.8.5.dmg"...and then shows a reason, which is, for all of them, "device not configured". I also get errors device not when trying to update to the newest os x as well. Anyone know what to do?
