Changing Hard disk space for /opt

I have installed Sun8 on a pc with 4gig hdd. Only has
done a default install. I assume their must be enough hdd space left for installing the companion disk
(GNU Software) As well as installing Oracle.
1) Insatll Sun8 - default.
2) Start to install Companion Disk with GNU S/Ware.
Get error:
not enough space blocks in /opt
How does one knows how much space is left on a
hdd and in a spesific directory?? What happens during install? Are the programs been installed in /opt??
Does /opt be very large to hold temporary installation files?? How jmuch disk space I really needed for
Sun8 + Companion DIsk.
from Francois

I had the same problem. The only way I know of in safely increasing the size without corrupting the system is to reinstall and change disk size for /, /opt etc.. The Sol8 should give you a default but they assume that you only install Sol8 core and not any other patches, companion etc..
If you have not installed any other apps, it is best to do this now. My suggestions is to use most of the drive for Sol8 (except for home - slice 7). You can always add additional drive to increase slice 7 size without corrupting OS. Keep in mind that you may want to install other utilities such as pclink or in the future any Sunpci card to run windows which will take shit load of storage space.
Good luck

  • Additional Hard Disk Space for Essbase 9.3.1

    Essbase 9.3.1 is installed on a hard disk that does not have anymore space. Is it possible to utilize or configure another hard disk for Essbase to use? I'm loading Cubes (ASO) that are failing due to a tablespace error of disk space.
    Any suggestions would be of great help.

    You can specify some of the tablespace and I think temp space for an ASO cube by right clicking on the application in EAS and selecting edit properties. In there you can change the disk

  • I am running iTunes on an IBM comp system Win XP with a 70gb hard disk. I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder to an external hard disk. How do I get the apps to go their?

    I am running iTunes on an IBM compatible system running Windows XP with a relatively small hard disk (70gb). I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches, multiple IPOD Nanos, etc. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder through Edit, Prferences, Advances, iTunes Media Folder to an external hard disk. The new music downloads and purchases go there but the apps and other items do not. How do I get the apps and other iTunes software and downloads to go to the external hard disk

    There is no built in function to make this happen.
    Your options are:
    Upgrade the existing hard drive.
    Try creating a link for the app folder on the external drive... this may or may not work.
    Realistically, a larger hard drive is a better solution, then use the external drive for keeping a backup of the ENTIRE iTunes folder and any other personal data on the system.

  • Can I move cache to external hard drive to save disk space for photoshop and bridge?

    Can I move cache to external hard drive to save disk space for photoshop and bridge?

    So could I take everything off my external hard drive, save it to my Mac, then re-format it for my Mac and move everything back to the external hard drive?
    Yes. Keep in mind that you need to back up all data, including the data on an external drive. So if you're going to use the external drive to store original data, as opposed to backups, then you really need another one to back up the first one. You also need to back up the data on your internal drive, of course. This isn't optional. You must do it, or you'll lose everything sooner or later. All disk drives fail eventually, often with no warning.
    If I do that how do I format the external hard drive for my Mac?
    Launch the Disk Utility application and search the built-in help for "erase."
    Would it be easier to just buy a external hard drive that is for a Mac?
    All external hard drives work with Macs. Some might come pre-formatted for use with Macs, but it only takes a few minutes to do that yourself.

  • In PSE will I use more hard-disk space by using iPhoto plus Organizer for photos?

    I have PSE 10 on my MAC. I normally download my photos onto iPhoto (and a while ago, onto Bridge CS3 which came with an earlier version of PSE) but more recently have become interested in using the PSE Organizer for my photo library.  I have started to transfer/copy the photos from iPhoto but, having read various topics on organizing photos, am a little worried that by having the photos in 2/3 places on the MAC I will use much more hard-disk space.  I know that the original files for iPhoto are in the 'Library' so that I just see thumbnails on iPhoto ( I may be wrong here?), but will the photos I now have on Organizer be working off those same 'Library' originals or am I doubling up on the space required to store these photos?

    For information my iPhoto is v 9.5.1 and would seem not to like .dng files so won't load them (I am using the Adobe RAW to DNG 8.3 Converter at the moment mainly because I would have to upgrade to PSE12 to get the RAW plug-in to process my Lumix G-6 RAW files, which is fairly expensive and, even then, my iPhoto would still be the same version unless I upgraded that as well!).
    I can load the RAW files onto iPhoto but when I then send them to PSE or iPhoto itself for editing they seem to be automatically converted to .jpg and do not have the usual RAW editing selection palette. However, the PSE Organizer seems happy to accept the .dng files (but not the RAW files) and when sent to PSE for editing I do get the RAW type palette, so it looks like storing my .dng files in Organizer is a good idea and, therfore, I might as well store other photos there as well rather than run two different organizers - I will leave the photos in Bridge as they are.
    If you are talking about photos not in iphoto, this is correct. If you use "from iPhoto" you will get automatic duplicates of the originals in a new location. If you export them manually and use from files and folders, yes, the organizer just makes a thumbnail.
    This paragraph made me think!  I'm pretty sure that when I decided to transfer my photos from iPhoto into PSE Organizer I used "from iPhoto" as this seemed the easiest way.  Does this mean that I have duplicated the file size of my iPhoto library and am therefore using much more hard-disc space than if I had used "from files and folders" (getting just thumbnails)? The transfer seems to have pulled in a lot of folders! If this is the case, is there any way to go back and do it again but "from files and folders" next time?! 
    This is all rather complicated it would seem (or I'm making it that way!) and I really appreciate your help.

  • How to change disk space for encoding assets to external disk drive

    My laptop has only 1G left and I can't seem to burn a video with iDVD 6. An error message says: "Not enough free disk space for encoding the remaining assets."
    How can I use my external hard drive, where my project is being stored, instead for encoding the remaining assets?

    1GB left? Wow - I'm surprised you aren't having trouble with the OS!
    Normally, OS-X likes at least 10% of your hard drive kept free for OS use.
    You REALLY need to fee up hard disk space before you have major problems.
    As for: > How can I use my external hard drive, where my project is being stored, instead for encoding the remaining assets?
    As far as I know, you can't.

  • METHOD FOR RETRIEVING FREE HARD DISK SPACE!

    Hi!
    I would like to know if there is any (standard or not) CLASS with methods for retrieving the amount of free hard disk space. I would appreciate if you could help! Thanks a lot!
    Best regards,

    for which os?
    because java must run on all operating systems no method is implemented (as far as i know). so you must call a system-program (or script) to do the work.

  • Losing Hard Disk Space

    Hi All. I'm seriously losing hard disk space on my Macbook Pro 17 and it's been doing this heavily since I installed Lion.
    My laptop has a 160GB hard drive. Out of this, I can add up only 70GB of files. Add another 20GB of free disk space so that totals 90GB. What's happened to the remaining 50GB hard disk space? Are there invisible files being written that I need to look for? Please help as this is really frustrating. Even using WhatSize doesn't add up to all the hard drive space I should have.

    Naz Hussain wrote:
    On mobile backups I only have 1.3MB. I use Time Machine but that goes to an external hard drive.
    By default, Lion on notebook computers will also save backups to your local disk. If you have many large files that are changing, that could account for your space.
    If any software is creating directories then I can't see it.
    The curl and ffmpeg make me suspect that you have some torrent or peer-to-peer software. Such software would generate many large files that Time Machine's local snapshots would backup. It would also be likely to save such files in temporary directories that are hidden.

  • How much hard disk space remains?

    Sorry, the Missing Manuel for Lion isn't available until the end of the month, but I have a lot of basic questions.
    With Snow Leopard when i opened a Finder window at the very bottom of the window pain was information on how much memmory was being used by whichever folder I had opened.  I know I can hit Tab to have a window pop up and tell me, but I liked that old feature built into the Window.  Is there a way to change the setting back so that when I open a finder window I get a reading on how much hard disk space is being used by X file? 

    Select Show Status Bar from the Finder's View menu. As far as space used by any one file that is listed under the Size column in the Finder when using List View.

  • Not Enough Disk Space for Rendering

    I am trying to edit a QuickTime file that I exported out of iPhoto, which contains about one hour of a slide show. The QuickTime file is only 741 MB. All I wanted to do is add music and titles using FCP. So I created a new project, imported the QuickTime file into FCP and inserted the entire one hour clip to sequence. When I rendered the sequence, FCP not only indicated it would take 4 hours to render but also said there is no enough disk space available to complete the rendering. I have about 60GB space left in my hard drive. How could the 741MB file take up more than 60GB of disk space for rendering? I haven't even put any video effects or music on the sequence yet. Can anyone tell me what's going on? Can I simply edit the 741MB file without changing the file size?

    Why not add the music and titles in iPhoto? The music is easy(just set up an iTunes playlist) If you need title slides just create them in an image editor(you could even use Textedit), save as a jpeg, import to iPhoto and incorporate them into the show.
    Thanks for your suggestion, but I'm not interested in using iPhoto to add the music and titles when I can use FCP to easily create better effects.
    If you then export the slideshow as a Quicktime movie then you can just pull it into iDVD. But if DVD is the intended end format your QT export needs to be 1024 or 720 x 576(thats for PAL TV) depending on the aspect ratio you're going for. I'd export it as DV.
    I've used the iDVD slideshow function before. I was frustrated by the limitation the function offers. I just wanted to simply edit the QuickTime movie I exported from iPhoto using FCP. I don't know why it's so hard and no one can seems to assist me. Any suggestion would be appreciated, though. Thanks.

  • Scratch Disk Problems - Too much hard disk space?

    Now, here's a question for scratch disk problems. My photoshop (7) used to work (on my old computer), now I've re-installed it and it says it and windows are paging to the same location, and I can't open it because "Scratch disks are full." I know there are lots of questions like this, but this one is special. I believe the problem is I have 1.5 TB of hard disk space, which apparently is too much and causes problems (?). Anyway, I would change the scratch disk location but I can't open photoshop in order to do so. Any suggestions?
    Basically, is there a way for me to change scratch disk locations if Photoshop won't even open?
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    Changing the location won't do anything nor will resetting the prefs (sorry Manish-Sharma). You really need to physically downsize the partition to be below or around the 500GB ceiling. It's unavoidable as this is inherent in the old file I/O API that those programs use. Changing the scratch disk location would do nothing as long as the program partition is stil lthat large and throws the program through a loop. open your drivemanagemnt by using My Computer --> Right-click --> Manage --> Disk Management and split the partition or whatever.

  • Problem with Photoshop CS5. Memory and Hard disk space Mac OSX

    Just got CS5 Master Suite.  Whenever I open photoshop it takes a ton of memory 1 gig +. When I open  files it takes up more and more until it takes up all my memory and hard  disk space. I open a simple multi layered file that is 25 megs in size  to work on it. Before I know it photoshop is taking 20gigs+ of my hard  disk space along with 3+ gigs of system memory. Is there a memory  problem in photoshop cs5?
    Thanks!
    Joseph
    UPDATE:
    So I just opened the 25 meg file  in photoshop cs5 and watched my free space on my hard drive go down 8  gigs the instant I opened it. It went from 27 gigs of freespace to 19  instantly. As I open more files and close others it works till my harddrive goes to zero space... stalls the computer big time. Only way to correct it is to quit photoshop cs5 and wait a few minutes for the space to return... and it takes a few minutes for it all to return.
    I am running a Macbook Pro with OSX 10.6., 4 gigs of ram on board.

  • Managing Hard Disk space

    Hello all
    Well I'm glad to say I'm near the end of my first FC project, it has taken me a couple of months but I'm for the most part of happy with and, it has been a learning experience for sure...
    One thing I have learned is the amazing amount of hard disk space consumed, this has me questioning a few things.
    Is it normal for an average of 1 minute to consume 1 Gig of HD space ?
    What is the best way for one to manage HD space when working with FC ?
    I know I'll need to up-grade my HD to one much larger, my thought is going with an external HD. If all goes as planned I'll have a G5 and can retire my G4.
    Thanks for any and all advise....
    James

    "If you get an external HD make sure it is a Firewire one and not a USB 2.0."
    My advice (from bitter experience) is to get TWO separate external HDs, one for the Scratch and one as a backup of the Scratch, backed up regularly. If the Scratch disc fails you will have to re-capture from your camera and if you have several active projects that is a pain - in fact a disaster if the failure damages the captured files and you can't re-shoot.
    A RAID seems an attactive proposition because whenever you save a file to the RAID, (and I think that applies to capturing), the data are written simultaneously to the other drive in the RAID, so making a continuous and automatic backup at thast time. However, if the internal power supply circuitry in the RAID case failes, both drives fail. So two HDs, each in a separate case, seems safer.
