Mobile Time Machine Creates Root File With No Visible Name
mtm creates a plist without any name whatsoever on / which contains mtmUUID, file is 263 bytes in size and should at least be hidden (and maybe have a name?)
Nickholl posts an example of the contents:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>MTMUUID</key> <string>E1C0D530-54BA-442E-8F22-FD1C26E3076E</string> </dict> </plist>
I have this file on one of my Macs but not the other. I think it’s new sometime since installing Mac OS X 10.11. It appears with a generic document icon in the Finder. The file actually does have a name, but it’s a non-printable character. This is what the output from ls -lB looks like:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 263 Apr 1 09:54 \001
