To begin, I'm running Techtool Pro 9.5 on an iMac with El Capitan (OS X 10.11.6 Build 15G18005).
I recently Tweeted Micromat about an issue (which I was unaware at the time was an issue) with using Volume Structures on an External drive (the conversation is attached)
When I do so, I get a message telling me that I don't have enough space on the drive to do the repair. Based on this message I assumed that Techtool Pro 9 required a certain amount of disk space to repair volume structures (unlike a repair in Diskwarrior, which–if there isn't enough physical space for a repair, it gives the user the option to replace the current volume with the rebuilt one.
As I mentioned earlier, I tweeted to Micromat and was told that it wasn't a case of physical space–as in how much free space remained on a disk, but the available RAM on the computer that determined whether or not TechTool Pro 9.5 could replace the volume structures of a drive.
This is directly in contrast to the message I get from the Techtool Pro 9.5 application, which confuses me.
Using this logic, I should be able to boot with my eDrive (or Protogo) and repair the drive in question (or at least have TTP 9.5 complete a Volume Structures repair on the drive.
At least, as far as I understand it.
By the way, I cannot seem to add attachments. This could be because I'm working in Opera, but don't know.
