Disable creation of unavailable volumes?

When some process in OSX wants to write to an unavailable volume, you won't get an error as user, but a new volume folder is created on the harddisk to make the writing of the file possible. With Timemachine over Airport for example, a lot of mess is created on the local harddisk if the Airport connection is not too good.
Question: is there a way to disable creation of volume folders? As these folders are invisble and very hard to manage (login via root and delete the stuff) I would rather have OSX pop up a dialog like "this volume is not available: with three buttons or so fail, retry, abort". Any idea how to block this behaviour?

I am using Photoshop CS5 on a new iMac with a wireless keyboard. I used to be able to hit F11 to perform a custom sharpening action but now the F11 key is the volume control key and I have tried everything to disable or switch the volume key. I have also tried assigning other function keys to initiate the action. Is there a simple solution to this? What am I missing?

Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

Enable/disable ACLs for a volume

where is the option enable/disable ACLs for a volume in leopard server 10.5x?
I searched in Server Admin and there Volumes … but I cant find this option which is described in this forum ?!

Hi
By default Access Control Lists (ACLs) are enabled on Leopard Server (10.5). The situation was different on Tiger Server (10.4) as you had to enable ACLs for each mounted volume.
To disable ACLs on Leopard Server you have to use the command line:
sudo fsaclctl -p path -d disable
to disable and to enable:
sudo fsaclctl -p path -d enable
As with 10.4 you its a good idea to restart the server after disabling or enabling ACLs, otherwise ACLs won't take. Strictly speaking this should only be true of the Boot volume although in my view its worth doing it for any other mounted volume you are going to be using for sharing.
To display ACL status for all mounted volumes issue this command:
fsaclctl -a
for a specific volume its:
fsaclctl -p path
where path is the name of the volume - you can drag drop the desired volume into the terminal window to show its full path. For example you could have:
fsaclctl -p /
/ is terminal shorthand for the boot volume. Regardless of how you do it you should see something like this:
Access control lists are supported on /Volumes/Data HD

Disable Creation of infotype

I would like to disable creation and insertion of a custom 9xxx infotype...
Is there any customizing way to do this ? Or should I do some abap
Regards

If you are talking the actual creation of a table entry for the IT9XXX then I would think that could be handled through the Role, if not then you could add some code to ZXPADU02 to stop it.

Disable creation of VPN "*Session" credential in Credential Manager without disabling all of Credential Manager?

Is there a way to disable creation of the VPN "*Session" credential in Credential Manager without disabling all of Credential Manager?
I know that you can disallow storing all domain creds in Credential Manager by setting the following registry entry to 1 (but this doesn't fix my issue):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
Value Name: DisableDomainCreds
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1
On my Windows 8 Enterprise workstation, I use mapped drives with one domain account and Outlook with a different domain account. Using the fix above fixes my issue with mapped drives (after sleep mode, reconnect to VPN and my mapped drives won't reconnect until
I delete the '*Session' credential) but then I cannot use Outlook at all. Note: I do not log on to Windows 8 with either of the domain
accounts mentioned above (I use a local admin account) and I do not 'save my password' in Outlook.

I should clarify my question: Is there a way to disable creation of the VPN "*Session" credential in Credential Manager
without disabling all domain creds in Credential Manager?
On my Windows 8 Enterprise workstation, I use mapped drives with one domain account and Outlook with a different domain account.
Normally I can use Outlook if I am connected to the vpn and I can use it if I am not connected to the vpn.
Normally I can use the mapped drives if I am connected to the vpn and I I can use the mapped drives if I am not connected to the vpn.
The vpn is essential for me to do my work for reasons other than the mapped drives and the usage of Outlook, but I need to be able to use the mapped drives and Outlook whether I am connected to the vpn or not.
Let's say my two domain accounts are these: drive-account and outlook-account. I must use the outlook-account for the connection to the vpn. When I connect to the vpn, it creates the '*Session' credential in the Credential Manager for outlook-account,
the mapped drives disconnect and they will not reconnect until I delete the newly created '*Session' credential. The error is 'An error occurred while reconnecting <drive letter1:> to <\\network\path> Microsoft Windows Network: The
local device name is already in use. This connection has not been restored.' Further evidence that it is the '*Session' credential causing the failure to reconnect is that I have two mapped drives and if I disconnect one of them and try to reconnect
the other one, I get a different error, 'An error occurred while reconnecting <drive letter2:> to <\\network\path2> Microsoft Windows Network: Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name,
are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again. This connection has not been restored.' Manually recreating that first connection then allows me to get back into both, but I should not have to
manually delete and recreate a mapped drive every time my computer goes to sleep. At least the manual deletion of the '*Session' credential is slightly less intrusive, but I'd still appreciate if there is a way to disable the creation of the '*Session'
credential without disabling all domain creds in Credential Manager. As I have said, if I disable domain creds using the registry fix some have suggested, I do not get the drive errors (after sleep mode and reconnecting to vpn), but I cannot use Outlook
at all.
Note: I do not log on to Windows 8 with either of the domain accounts mentioned above (I use a local admin account) and I do not 'save my password' in Outlook.

Manual replica creation of DeDup Volumes

Hi,
we are on the way to update a lot of our file Servers to Windows Server 2012.
DeDup will be enabled on the volumes.
We are going to to backup these voumes via DPM2012SP1.
Now my question: Is it possible to create a Manual replica (for example with the help of USB external drives) for dedup enabled volumes or does the replica creation process have to be triggered from within DPM console so that all data will be transfered
over the Network?
Thanks in advance
regards

Hi,
Unfortumatly, you cannot perform a manual replica creation for a deduped volume in a deduped state, however, you can perform the following, but don't think it would provide you much benefit.
1) On the protected server that has the dedup volume you want to protect, create a dummy folder in the root of the volume.
2) On the DPM Server, protect the dedup volume, except uncheck the dummy folder. Choose to make a manual replica.
3) Copy the contents of the protected volume to the replica volume using any method you choose.
4) Run the mandatory consistency check to make sure the data is equivelent.
5) On the DPM Server, modify the PG and now include the dummy folder - basically uncheck the drive letter and recheck it so DPM will protect the whole volume now.
6) On the protected server, delete the dummy folder.
7) Re-run a new consistency check, and DPM will now protect the volume in a dedup state. This will result in only transfering deduped blocks, and leaving non-dedup blocks intact.
Again, that may not buy you much and may be a waste of time - but give it whirl.

How to disable click noise with volume bar

I own an HP Pavilion dv6-1030us laptop, and when I adjust the volume with the volume bar touchpad, the computer makes a lot of clicking noises -- it will click for 3 or 4 seconds straight even when I make the slightest of adjustments -- and I was wondering if it's possible to modify/disable the clicks. I wouldn't care if it only clicked once or twice, but when it goes on for this long it gets annoying.

Some people might not be understand how it can be done!. Just go to the speaker icon on system tray and click on mixer. Then try to increase the volume through quick launch volume button on your HP laptop. You can see the QLB button appeared on the mixer. Just mute it and thats it! you are done!. Have a good time guys...............

Disable creation of Maploader folders

Hi,
Recently, very sadly, my 5410i died. So I got a new phone. This one has a USB port, so I decided to check out the OVI software. It's pretty useful for backing up my contacts (about 200).
However, since installing the software I noticed I have folders Maploader on each harddrive (and I have quite a few). I don't like those folders everywhere. With a little Googling I found out OVI is most likely doing this and considering my history of installing software, it makes a lot of sense to me.
So: how do I disable the creation of these folders? I already removed OVI from the list of programs to start up with Windows, but isn't there an option in OVI to disable this annoying habit?
Thanks a lot!
J

the new version was released a few days ago, so i guess you might have an older version.
even on my external hard drives those folders don't exist.
the new version looks like the image.

Disable creation of transport request in development system

Hi Sapgurus,
I have a strange requirement. I want to disable the option of transport request creation in development system for all the object.
Waiting for your valuable inputs. Thanks a lot.
Regards,

Priti,
May be this solution is not suggested by SAP.but yes by hook and cook if you really urgent need this we can achieve this i tried by putting a breakpoint here in my system for testing.and i got result.
just open include LSTRDF30 in se38.search for string   WHEN 'INSA'. here you can modify your code as below:
CASE okcode.
    WHEN 'LOCK'.
      PERFORM append_to_order.
    WHEN 'OWNA'.                       " show own orders
      PERFORM show_own_orders.
    WHEN 'INSA'.                       " insert new order
SET SCREEN 0. LEAVE SCREEN."this need to be add.
exit.
      PERFORM insert_new_order.
    WHEN 'ATTR'.                       " object attributes
      SET SCREEN 0. LEAVE SCREEN.
in such manner request will not be generate.
but only access key is required.

Disable Local Backups per Volume

Hello world!
I need to urgently disable local backups (/.MobileBackups) on a per-volume basis -- is this possible?
I was considering just removing it and placing a zero-permission-zero-byte file in it's stead, but I wanted to check first and curiously found that seemingly no one has asked this question ever before … strange! My use case is simple: I have a second drive almost constantly attached to my MacBookPro, and it's formatted in HFS+, and I do want it to be included in the regular TM backup onto my Time Capsule.
But, because the drive is external and slower than the internal, having the hourly snapshots taken gives me a 10 Minute performance degradation every 50 Minutes. This I cannot suffer.
On the other hand, I do want to keep my internal SSD to make regular, even mobile, backups.
What would be the smartest way to achieve this?
Thanks for your input and greetings,
-Thomas

[...] Local backups are made on your MBP itself, not on the external disk, [...]
Not true.
Just try for yourself, connect a HFS+-formatted (that's the important part) drive and wait.
/Volumes/[device]/.MobileBackups
will be created in due time, and it will fill up with linked backup files.
I reproduced with two disks (actually, one SDCard and one USB drive) and this is fully reproducable.
Example:
retina /Volumes/Zweitplatte % ls -la
drwxr-xr-x+ 3 thomas staff    102 Sep 20 15:38 .MobileBackups
drwx------   5 thomas staff    170 Sep 20 15:38 .Spotlight-V100
d-wx-wx-wt   3 thomas staff    102 Sep 20 19:59 .Trashes
-rw-rw-rw-   1 thomas staff 216345 Sep 20 16:05 .VolumeIcon.icns
drwx------   7 thomas staff    238 Sep 21 02:11 .fseventsd
retina /Volumes/Zweitplatte % sudo du -sh .MobileBackups
Password:
90G .MobileBackups
retina /Volumes/Zweitplatte %
Yup.
I actually work on the external drive, and a lot of files are slightly modified regularly, and you can surely see that 90GB starts to be an issue. Im at this very moment _directly_ connected to the LAN and the Re-Backup /Sync to my Time Capcule is ongoing for hours now ... and I don't need this #*#
Thanks for your advice!

OES2 SP3: Master sends poison pill upon creation of new volumes

I'm experiencing problems when creating a clustered pool and volume on
OES2 SP3. After assigning a new FC LUN which is available on all nodes
I'm using iManager to create a new pool and volume on the master node as
described in the documentation. However, at some point in the procedure
the master starts killing other nodes. Inspection with nssmu shows that
the new pool is just available on some nodes. After a reboot everything
is working nicely.
Should I send the cluster to maintenance mode prior to adding a new
volume? How can I force OES2 to scan for new pools other than rebooting
the system? Is there a known problem or a TID for this behavior?

Sorry, but right now I'm completely confused. What are you talking about?
From cluster administration manual:
"10.1.1 Naming Conventions for Cluster Resources
Cluster resource names can be up to 63 characters. Novell
Cluster Services supports only
alphanumeric characters and the underscore character in
cluster resource names:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx yz0123456789_
Special characters, such as the following, are not supported
in cluster resource names:
!@#$%&()
Because the NSS pool name and Linux volume names are
automatically used in the cluster resource
name, do not use special characters !@#$%&() in names of NSS
pools or Linux POSIX volumes that
you plan to cluster enable."
I did not use special characters in names of cluster resources, pools or
volumes. So will my problem be still related to this TID?
I will gave to go and check with CRM debugging.

Disable creation of proxies. How ?

Hi,
I want to turn off proxies for Video. I just want to use FCS as stocking server and be able to see the thumbnail of the video and that's it. I have set the proxy Transcode Setting to NONE (not No Conversion) on video and i have unchecked Enable Edit Proxies in the Preferences but i still get proxies generated for video. I just want the JPEG. Is that possible ?
donnib

Wow, that *****, you can't disable Proxy create? If you don't want proxies, there's no way to turn that feature off with FCServer????
Hey Nicholas, what is typical of an FCServer proxy create, compared to real-time. Does FCServer create proxies at 1/4 real-time, or 6 time real-time? From my experience, Compressor is pretty slow on FCStudio2 installs and I wouldn't expect FCServer to be faster... is it? I know this all depends on the proxy type (codec, size and etc.).
I have experience with Dalet and FORK, both competing products, though more features, and they create a proxy at around 6x real-time for Dalet and I think faster with FORK. What should be expected for FCServer on a single, dedicated XServe (new one, 8core)?

Disabling creation of new pages on user's PC

Hello everyone,
By editing the various roles' settings, I've managed to
restrict my users to creating new pages from only the list of pages
I want them to, EXCEPT for the fact that they still have the option
in the 'New Page' dialog to create a new blank page on their own
PC.
Does anyone know if it is possible to remove this option from
the dialog? I've investigated some of the XML and JS files, but so
far haven't come up with anything.
Thanks!
Matt

I'd also like to find out if this is possible, as limited
roles to specific templates is great, but only if you're truely
limiting them, and by allowing new pages to be created as blank
pages on their PC, you're not.

Why is the Verizon "chat' ALWAYS disabled due to 'unavailable at this time' regardless of time of day?

???????????????!!!

Thanks CCTM, I searched the drop down help 'Logic Pro Users manual' no info found on muting or on regions.
I googled the problem and found the answer in an old post in Logic pro help-ctrl click on region for menu and problem is solved.
I the searched in the next drop down choice 'Exploring Logic Pro just to see how difficult finding these answers could be, and it was there.
You deserve the points for being kind enough to offer your knowledge, unlike searching the downloads ssection of this aite for a Manual-which found nothing.
it is only as a last resort that I would be so importunant to post here at all.
