10.5: Time machine, corrupt sparse images, and panics
Authored by: macandrew on Mon, Mar 10 2008 at 9:28AM PDT

I have a plain vanilla Time Machine setup - locally connected external FW drive - and I suddenly began experiencing periodic kernel panics. Tried to repair the TM disk, Diskutil failed! Had to reformat (low level, writing 0s) and set up TM afresh to get things back to normal.
