Maximum drive size for mirrored RAID

I'm want to set up a mirrored RAID with two 4TB drives that I have. When I put the drives in the tower (Mac Pro, OS 10.8.5) and open Disk Utility, the RAID button at the top does not show up for these drives. I only see First Aid, Erase, and Restore. Is there a max size for a drive that I'm exceeding? Or is it something else?

Hi - from the research I have done, there is a BUG in the OS. A solution is to boot with an older version of OS X and format the drive with the version of disk utlity on the older OS, or yank out the drive and put it in one of those 'drive toaster' type devices and format it EXTERNALLY. The problem seems to be localized when it's formatted with the drive INSIDE the MacPro.
You would figure that this would be a high priority fix, but NO. I went nuts for a few days trying to figure out WHY I could not see the RAID tab.
There is also third party software that has a more robust RAID solution. I have NOT tried it yet, but you should check it out.

Upgrade hard drive size with mirrored RAID

First of all thanks for your help.
I have a G5 XServe with (3) 250GB Drives
(1) drive is for the OS .... great perfect no change needed.
The other to drives are mirrored to eath other and hold 240GB worth of work.
I would like to buy (2) 500GB Drives to replace the 250GB Drives.
What is the easiest way to do this?
Idea 1) Will this work???
Break the raid by ejecting one of drives.
Put in one new 500GB Drive.
Copy all data from 250GB to 500GB
Eject 250GB drive
Put in other 500GB drive.
Re-set up Mirror with out losing data?
Idea 2)
Copy it all to an external drive....
Install new 500GB drives
Set up Mirror
Copy data back.
Hmmm... either way I'll have to set up all of my share points?
Thanks for helping me think this through.

Either path will work.
The first should be faster (the data only needs to be copied one), the second gives you a spare/backup copy of the data which might come in handy later.
Sharepoints are referenced by path, so as long as the new 500GB mirror is mounted in the same place as the existing 250GB mirror, your sharepoints should remain intact.

Maximum drive size for Lenovo 3000 N 100

Hello,
I've done what I could this past week but I still haven't got a reliable, serious answer to this question. My hard drive died on me after the guarantee period (obviously) and I'd like to have it replaced with a much bigger drive. Will a 160Gb or 250 Gb or a 320 Gb (that's the one I'd like most) be compatible? I've been told by shops and by the repair company that handles Lenovo that I can't exchange a hard drive once it's bought and opened. However, noone has been able to tell me what size the motherboard/system will handle for sure.
Can anyone shed any light on this issue. Lenovo just replied with the official data that the hard drives below are compatible (see info pasted below) and tested by Lenovo, while the repair company said OK to a 250 Gb drive I wanted to buy.
Description Option part number Service FRU part number Customer replaceable unit (CRU)
60GB 5400rpm SATA HD 41N3025 92P6283 Yes
100GB 5400rpm SATA HD 41N3026 27R2309 Yes
I'll be most thankful for your advice.

Hi.
If you're through with your warranty, you have nothing to worry about - changing the HDD will not affect it as it is already wasted. So, you may insert any SATA drive you like - even SSD, since it emulates HDD behaviour.
All systems that do not recognise HDD's over 137 gb were lifetimed at 2005 as far as I remember.

Maximum size for Xserve RAID modules

What is the maximum storage size for an Xserve RAID module?
Years ago, an Xserve RAID was out of my price range. Now, I'm looking into getting one on eBay and playing around with it.
I have been making Mirrored RAIDS with Western Digital 3 TB My Books.
Can I put 3 TB drives in an Xserve RAID? It probably depends on the controller firmware or something.
Thanks for thinking about this.
Doc

Short answer is no, you can't.
The XServe RAID has IDE drives mounted in a carrier. The maximum size drive shipped by Apple, supported under 1.5.1 firmware on the controllers is 750GB, though finding these on the used market is farily difficult. Aside from that, any IDE drive can be put in the carriers. If your unit has 'blank' slots, these are indeed just blank slots - you will need to get carriers / drive modules if you want disks in the slot if that makes sense.
People on the Internet, myself included, have experimented down the route of using IDE to SATA bridges in the carriers with 2.5" SATA drives which are more freely available. This way you can utilise cheap drives in your drive modules, or even SSDs (which offer little benefit I have found). Some users have had success with 1TB 2.5" SATA drives in this method, but not with anything bigger it seems. Myself, I've had suceess with 500GB SATA and 256GB SSD with this hacky method.
Hope that helps.

Maximum hard drive size for 350 MHz slot loading?

Hello,
What is the maximum hard drive size for a 350 MHz slot loading imac?
I am aware of a 128 GB limit on imacs. Does the 128 GB hard drive limit apply to all imac CRTs or just the earlier models?
Here are the specs of my imac:
Blueberry 350 MHz
Slot loading CD-ROM drive,
6 GB hard drive
Is the maximum hard drive size limit of 127GB apply to this particular model?
Thanks

Yes, the last CRT iMac was in 2001. The first machines with built-in greater than 127 GB support were released in June 2002, as this article explains:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86178
So all CRT iMacs have that limiation.

The 8 GB limit is explained here:

What is an idea of maximum file size for a film in Captivate?

Hi there,
I'm creating an elearning course in Captivate 7, and it is being published as HTML5. This means the films I've imported are being converted to MP4s, and they are around 10-20mb in size once they've converted. They seem very slow to load on some computers - do you think the file size is too big? Or could it be another issue? Does anyone have a recommendation for maximum file size for films? They are 572 x 322px and around 1-2 mins in length.
Thanks in advance

Probably better guidelines that dictates 'size' of a vi are:
typically no more than 1 video screen in size
is it legible
and is it's function and operation clear.
I have seen examples of '1 vi does it all' that were many screens wide and tall, totally a flustercuck, and nearly 1 MB in size.
Globals and local variables (except for LV2 style) are typcially shunned for they can create a host of problems (race conditions, indeterminant data).
Use connector pane to wire controls and indicators to. Then use wires between vi's to transfer data. I tend to use clusters to hold shared data.

Maximum HD size for MDD G4?

Hi there
I had a real pain in the proverbial when trying to do a clean install of Panther (or Tiger) on a 1Ghz G4 on a new 200 Gb HD. There were instablilities, Hands on shout down/restarts, etc, before running any updates or 3rd party apps.
Is there a maximum HD size for these Macs? It came with a 80Gb HD.
Thanks for any help...

Some RAM that worked under prior versions of OS X has been known to fail. Tiger makes much more use of all available RAM for cache is part of the reason. Memtest would give it a good workout overnight.
MDDs support Cable Select, it depends in part on the IDE cable itself. In fact, you could use it on older Macs and controllers most of the time.
Never apply an update without first doing a backup and some disk repair and maintenance. Even flushing the cache folders with something like Applejack. Never use your Mac while an update is taking place. Reboot prior to applying an update, might want to use Safe Boot Mode. And use the standalone updates, and the combo update if possible. On some occasions it was necessary to reapply the combo update.
With Tiger, I found that while it was possible to update, a full erase and install resulted in a better OS. So backup.
If you keep your home directory or backup on another drive, so much the easier and better.

Session "Circular Kernel Context Logger" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035
As suggested above I assume this is a microsoft issue? It has been discussed here and other forums for quite some time. I never have seen a fix? I wish when we received errors of this nature microsoft would tell us what they were. How is this related to superfetch? What is superfetch? Why would superfetch have changed?
BY THE WAY.... Superfetch is on(started) is on automatic and logs on as local system. So this is not the cause of my issue. Also what is readyboot? Does the average computer really know what these programs/services or unique microsoft words/terms are?

Maximum font size for auto-sized form text

You need to let the user select a maximum font size for automatically sized text. If most of your fields are set at 10pt type, but you have one field for which you want the text to resize automatically, it looks stupid if that cell contains a small amount of text that’s set at 16pt or whatever. If you could set the maximum font size to 10pt for that field, then the text would be consistent with the text in the other fields unless there is so much text that it needs to scale down.

Can anyone please advise?
Cheers

Maximum file size for export into MP4?

Hello,
I am not able to export 2 hour HD video into standard MP4 file. It seems that reaching 100% export algorithm gets into loop. I was waiting for hours and still had seen progress at exactly 100% with final file size on hard disk to be 0 bytes. I am using CS5 on MAC OS X. I had to split my timeline to 2 parts and to export them separately (which is embarrasing). Is there something like maximum file size for export? I guess that 2h video would have about 25-35GB.
Thank you
jiri

You are right.
So I am running AP Pro 5.0.4, Adobe Media Encoder 5.0.1.0 (64bit). Operating system Mac OS X ver 10.7.3. All applications are up to date.
MacBook Pro Intel i5 2.53GB, 8GB RAM, nVidia GT 330M 256 MB, 500GB HDD
Video is 1920x1080 (AVCHD) 25fps in a .MTS container (major part of timeline), 1280x720 30fps in .MOV container (2mins), Still images 4000x3000 in .JPG
No error message is generated during export - everything finishes without any problem...just file created has 0 byte size (as described above).
This is my largest video project (1h 54min) I dont have any other problem with other projects.
I dont run any other special software, at the moment of export all usual applications are closed so that MacBook "power" can go to Media Encoder. No codecs installed, using VLC Player or Quick Time.
Attached please find printscreen from Export settings (AP Pro). Writing this ppost I tried to export only the first 4mins from timeline where all kind of media is used...and it was OK.
As a next step I will try to export (same settings) 1h 30mins as I still believe problem comes with length of video exported.
Let me know your opinion

Maximum file size for importing into Premiere Pro CS6

Hi,
I'm considering recording raw video, no compression at 720p, 30 fps for 20-30 min. This woudl result in a file that is close to 80 Gbytes. I'm wondering what the maximum file size for importing into premiere Pro is and if I need to split this file up into smaller pieces. Any recommendations on how I may deal with uncompressed raw video that is pretty long in length?
Thanks,
Serena

There is bound to be some limit somewhere in the program, but you should be well below that. The biggest issue might be whether your computer is up to the task of handling it. If you will post your computer specs., someone will give you comments on that aspect.
Good luck,

where is this limitation coming from. How to set the heap size to 6g.
Thanks for your time

You need to use the -d64 switch to request the 64-bit JVM. E.g.,$ java -showversion -Xmx6g HelloWorld
Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx6g
The specified size exceeds the maximum representable size.
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
$ java -showversion -d64 -Xmx6g HelloWorld

Maximum package size for data packages was exceeded and Process terminated

Hello Guru,
When i am execute the process chain i got this message Maximum package size for data packages was exceeded and Process terminated,any body help to me in this case how can i proceed.
Thanks & Regards,
Suresh.

Hi,
When the load is not getiing processed due to huge volume of data, or more number of records per data packet, Please try the below option.
1) Reduce the IDOC size to 8000 and number of data packets per IDOC as 10. This can be done in info package settings.
2) Run the load only to PSA.
3) Once the load is succesfull , then push the data to targets.
In this way you can overcome this issue.
You can also try RSCUSTV* where * is an integer to change data load settings.
Change Datapackage size for extraction, use Transaction RSCUSTV6.
Change Datapackage size when upload from an R/3 system, set this value in R/3 Customizing (SBIW -> General settings -> Control parameters for data transfer).
IN R/3, T-Code SBIW --> Genaral settings --> Maintain Control Parameters for Data Transfer (source system specific)
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
JituK

"Maximum package size for data packages was exceded".

Hi,
We are getting the below error.
"Maximum package size for data packages was exceded".
In our scenario we are loading the data product key wise (which is a semantic key as well) to the DSO thro’ a start routine.
The logic in the start routine is such a way that it calculates the unique product counts , product key wise. Hence we are trying to
group the product key thro’ semantic groups.
Ex: In this example the product counts should be A = 1,B=2 ,C = 1
Product Key
Products
A
1000100
B
2000100
C
3000100
B
2000300
C
3000100
For some product keys the data is so huge that we could not load the data & we are getting the error.
Please suggest any alternate way to handle this thro’ code or introducing any other flow.
Regards,
Barla

HI
we can solve the issue by opening the system setting of data packer size
like below we have create 2 programs, 1 for open the system settings,2 for
close the settings .
1 start program
data: z_roidocprms like table of
roidocprms.
data: wa like line of z_roidocprms.
wa-slogsys = 'system_client' . wa-maxsize = '50000'. wa-statfrqu = '10'.
wa-maxprocs = '6'. wa-maxlines = '50000'.
insert wa into table z_roidocprms.
Modify roidocprms from table z_roidocprms .
2 close program
data: z_roidocprms like table of roidocprms.
data: wa like line of z_roidocprms.
wa-slogsys = 'syetm_client' . wa-maxsize = '50000'. wa-statfrqu = '10'.
wa-maxprocs = '6'. wa-maxlines = '50000'.
insert wa into table z_roidocprms.
modify roidocprms from table z_roidocprms .
data load infopakage settings we have to maintain like
below
we have create the process chain like as below
1 start progarm
data load infopakage
2 close program.
This might fix the problem.
Regards,
Polu.
