Today I was defragging my HDD. The version of the defrag software was 1.2.2.
As I pressed the ‘defrag’ button I got the hereby attached error dialogue box that says
Unable to open volume
Unable to open volume; HFS errors:
hfs_journal.c:95 (from 0x5d5b8):
(12) The journal header seems incorrect
Please provide me with a solution. ASAP.
The issue arises because of bad blocks on your Drive. I'd recommend you to avoid the defrag on your disk this time. Rather you should back up whatever amount of data you can using Time Machine. If you want to continue using your drive reformat it using write zero option to isolate those bad blocks.
Thanks hope it helped.
