What kind of hangs? I've seen DiskFit get into a (seemingly) endless loop
while accessing the disk. My only solution is to interrupt the backup,
start it again, and tell DiskFit that the disk is missing when it gets to
it the second time. This causes it to format a new disk to replace the
original. When DiskFit asks for a new disk to format, I just put the original
disk back in and all is OK. I've run Disk First Aid on the disks it hangs
with and it reports no problems, so it appears DiskFit is to blame.
Anyone else see this or are Chuq and I the only lucky ones. (The only thing
worse than a bug is an intermittent bug...)
