UPDATE 2: More on disabling Disk Arbitration from Apple Examiner. $ sudo kill -SIGCONT 188 # resumes diskarbitrationd, reenabling automount $ sudo kill -SIGSTOP 188 # pauses diskarbitrationd, disabling automount $ sudo launchctl list | grep diskarbitrationd UPDATE 1: Aaron kindly replied to my email, pointing out that the "stop" command (since removed) isn't necessary in the fourth method above and that pausing/resuming diskarbitrationd with SIGSTOP and SIGCONT offers another option (though it too disables diskutil): Common reasons include, but are not limited to, the DiskArbitration framework being unavailable due to being booted in single-user mode." This method (and probably the one above) has the unfortunate side effect of disabling diskutil: "Unable to run because unable to use the DiskManagement framework.

Matt's sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ for Snow Leopard.

Charles Edge's launchctl stop 0×10abe0.diskarbitrationd for Leopard.

This one was new to me, and Ryan kindly informs us that it is the only way to disable Disk Arbitration under 10.4.

This little app replaces the following hacks I've been using to prevent automounting of USB / Firewire drives in OS X: Safely clone & image disk and partitions for data protection or disk upgrade, no complicated skills are required. Automounting can be disabled completely (especially handy for drive imaging / data recovery via ddrescue, etc) or mounts can be forced as read-only (for forensics, etc, though a hardware write-blocker is still recommended). Quickly resize, extend and split partitions without data loss to make the best use of hard drive capacity. OS X: Mount disks as read only or block automounting altogether #Īaron Burghardt's open source Disk Arbitrator provides a simple GUI for changing OS X's automount behavior.

If Apple ever opens up the ability for third-party developers to change the startup disk again and Windows is still a bootable OS on Mac hardware, I will look into bringing this project back.īootChamp has been the most successful open source software I’ve developed based on the number of monthly downloads. Update 2 (Nov 27, 2015): I am officially shutting down BootChamp.

If you are disappointed with Apple about this, I would suggest reporting your concerns to them. Unless anything changes, BootChamp will be EOL’d.

It also doesn’t appear that Apple will create exceptions or workarounds, as that would defeat the purpose of the security layer. Apple’s documentation explicitly states that the bless tool can no longer be used due to SIP, so no update to BootChamp will be able to work around this issue. Update 1 (Oct 4, 2015): 10.11 was released a few days ago, and 10.11.1 beta is circulating. I will post updates when I find anything more. If it’s a feature, they need to update their bless tool and remove the featureset entirely. If it’s a bug, then that means Apple should be fixing it in a future point release, for example 10.11.1. Whether it’s a bug or a feature is impossible to tell at this point. I believe this is from changes related to the new “rootless” or System Integrity Protection feature of El Capitan ( more info). When clicking “Restart into Windows” a “Bless failed” error will show with “Could not set boot device property”.Īdditionally when looking at Console (in /Applications/Utilities) a message from sandboxd stating “deny nvram-set efi-boot-next” will appear. Since El Capitan beta 7 BootChamp no longer is functioning.
