There is a mounting problem with OS sometimes, too. I don't remember all the occasions, but I am very careful with ejecting the disk (at the moment OS X forces me to shutdown to "eject"). Still, I'd understand if the last backup would be broken that way, but why the whole disk? A backup shouldn't be that brittle.
- keithpeter 11y agoSounds very similar to what happens if you unplug a mounted USB hard drive from a running Linux without 'ejecting' it first. My understanding is that the kernel labels the device (recognised through its UUID) as 'read only' thereafter. And it is the whole device (i.e. /dev/sdb or whatever) that is labelled. Your symptoms just struck me as very similar. I can't offer any way forward alas.
