Question: In the Directory /System/Library is there another folder called library (with many of the same directories)?
My TiG4 had a freeze while in os9. I used the install cd to reboot and checked the volume with disk utility. This informed me I had fatal error and needed to reformat. Fortunately the os x partition was still functional. I tried to use Carbon Copy Cloner to backup to an external firewire drive. The application froze half way (application not responding). Following the manual instructions from the CCC web site I was able to-almost- completely back up the existing os x volume. I was unable to complete one command:
sudo ditto /System\ Folder /Volumes/Backup/System\ Folder
...well two commands. To finsih the backup you need to run another command, bless, also on this directory. The terminal did not recognise the directory. All but this last command completed, I reused CCC a second time, ok. I used this new volume until I could reformat the internal drive.
Now, I get to my question. Looking over the system I found this duplicate Library directory. Since my copy and my backup are the same, I have no way to check if this directory is an accidental duplicate or really part of the system folder.

No.

CCC does get unresponsible when cloning - that's normal.

- My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

What are the visible directories in your root "/" directoty? I have: - Applications
Developer
Library
sw
System
Users
I do not have an OS 9 System Folder. I use a disk image of System Folder that mounts when needed.

I'll remove the xtra folder.

haha! if software cloning can have these problems, what does this say about genetic cloning? (>_<)

The os 9 is on another partition.

Ok, Ive deleted the xtra library dir. TextEdit, of all applications, has decided to not work. I get a crash alert and a nice message that says nothing else was effected. I deleted something I thought was a preference for TextEdit (.plist). This had no effect.
Question 1) Did I delete the right file to fix TextEdit?
2) If not, is the system or TextEdit corrupt?
3) if yes, What can I do to verify the system? Or an application?
The crash generated a log file, but it means nothing to me.
