Disk space running low... but not really.

I installed Arch on a 150Gb HD lately and I'm experiencing a pretty annoying thing regarding available space on the drive.
Here is some info:
fdisk
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 13 104422 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 14 79 530145 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3 80 19457 155653785 83 Linux
ncdu
5.2GiB /home
1.3GiB /usr
. 250.6MiB /var
82.0MiB /lib
. 11.2MiB /boot
10.5MiB /sbin
. 6.0MiB /etc
3.9MiB /bin
164.0kiB /dev
20.0kiB /tmp
4.0kiB /media
! 4.0kiB /root
. 0.0 B /proc
0.0 B /sys
0.0 B /srv
e 0.0 B /mnt
e 0.0 B /opt
Everything looks good so far and I should have plenty of space left on the device to play with. But using Thunar in xfce I am told that I have only 350Mb free. This is confirmed by the df command and I can see that I have a huge kcore in /proc.
df
/dev/sda3 7655940 7267696 388244 95% /
udev 10240 164 10076 2% /dev
none 1033064 140 1032924 1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 101105 13014 82870 14% /boot
ll /proc
-r-------- 1 root root 1065349120 Mar 6 13:08 kcore
Now, I understand that the kcore file is a virtual file that really doesn't affect my available space. But yet, it does affect how eg Thunar operates as it doesn't let me use the gigabytes of free space that I should have available.
I like the simple partition layout that I'm using, but is there some way to let the system ignore kcore and show the correct available space? Or am I forced to reinstall and use another partition scheme and work around the kcore size?
Usually I use ext2/3 but this time I thought I'd try jfs. Can that have something to do with this fenomenon? I have never seen this before...

Hi,
“However the disk space on 'D' is running low everyday.”
Base on my experience, it most possible is your application cache full the disk space, or you have configured the unsuitable VSS back up schedule.

"Available disk space running low. Shuttting down session."

I've been running into problems on a few machines that I have installed e-Load on. When I start the stress test, I get into a few iterations and then suddenly, the test will stop running and I get the following message:
"Available disk space running low. Shutting down session."
Questions:
1.) What space is it referring to? The local machine or where the scripts are stored?
I can't seem to figure it out. The machines have more than enough space where e-Load is installed, over 10 Gigs free.
The scripts (repository) is on a shared network drive and that has 17 GB where the results are written to. Is there something I am missing?

Disk space running low

Hello all;
I have disk 0 of 136GB and it is partioned to 'C' 60 GB and 'D' 76GB. However the disk space on 'D' is running low everyday. There is apache webserver running however it is only 45gb and rest of the files are around 10gb. I was wondering where is the rest
20gb? 'D' drie is showing 700mb free Also I cleared some log files from apache and reduced 45gb to 25gb. Hence 'D' showed 18gb free. But today it is showing 1.64gb free.. I have no idea what is going on.

Receiving an automatic notification from Windows Server when disk space is low

Hello,<o:p></o:p>
Does Windows Server 2012 R2 have any such functionality built-in to enable monitoring of disk space?
We have an old VB Script file that sends me an email when disk space gets low.
Also, the following post discusses the topic regarding Windows Server 2008:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/c9878861-6ba5-4d3b-b6b0-6e4b33c41853/notification-when-low-disk-space?forum=windowsserver2008r2management
I was wondering if there was any change regarding this in
Windows Server 2012 R2 .
Many thanks.<o:p></o:p>
Keith<o:p></o:p>

Hi,
Windows Server 2012 stays the same on that topic, you still need some kind of monitoring on your disk space.
If you don't have a monitoring solution, like for example SCOM, you can for example with powershell do what you earlier did in VB script. Either you have a scheduled task that runs as often as you'd like, or you can utilize something called WMI eventing
to trigger on an event 'disk low' but thats a bit more complicated.
See below examples on some example scripts that you could use.

PLEASE HELP!!! disk space is low message

i received a disk space is low message as i am working in my lightroom 5. i keep clicking ok and it does not let me get out of this screen. it is telling me i need to remove files or empty trash to make space. do i need to make space in lightroom or on my hard drive? please help, i have had this issue before.

25% seems pretty arbitrary and unreasonable.
With today's drive that means on a 2TB drive I need to keep 1/2 TB free. That means I am paying for 2TB with only 1.5 usable just to use LR. In my case where I have four 2TB drive I have to have 2TB free or equivalently have an entire drives worth of space (4*500M) I should not be using.
Even given that was true I get a similar message and it states I do not have at least 20M free on the drive where my catalog is. The drive where my catalog is has 800M+ of a 2TB drive free (exceeding the 25% rule).
And if you are talking about just the "C:" or "root" drive then I have a 250G drive with over 180M free. And neither my catalog or my pictures are on it.
Still looking for an answer.
It is very annoying to be in the middle of an edit and have the message pop up and stop the edit. Then you have to clear the message, undo the incomplete edit and start over hoping the message does not come back.
Any additional suggestions?

"Not Enough Free Disk Space" error message, but Finder shows plenty of disk space available

Apologies if this is a double post, but I have been searching all over and can't seem to find this issue in the forums.
I have a 256GB Macbook with a fresh copy of Lion installed, am going through the process of migrating files back over, after which I have approximately 125GB free. However, whenever I go online and try to download any type of file (PDF, sofware install files, etc.), an error message displays saying:
Safari could not download the file “blahblahblah.dmg” because there is not enough free disk space.
Not sure how this is possible since the .dmg file is 18MB and Finder is saying there is over 125GB free. I've tried repairing disk permissions, booting off the Lion recovery disk and repairing the startup disk, all to no avail. Anyone had this issue before?

Don Archibald wrote:
Check in Safari's Preferences (in the Safari menu) to see what has been designated as the destination for downloads. If that has somehow been set to a disk image or a CD/DVD location, you'll get that 'not enough space' message.
The same may occur if the download target location is set to a non-available drive. This can happen when aliases are used and things have been copied (migrated) from another drive.
Thanks for the suggestion. That wasn't the problem, but your suggestion did shed light on something else. I was able to perform a right-click action and Save File As... to my Documents folder. On further analysis, it appears that the "Macintosh HD", Downloads folder, and Desktop are showing the "pencil with a line through it" icon in the bottom left of the Finder window, which would suggest those areas are read-only for some reason.
My user account is the only one on the machine and it's an admin account. Any guesses as to why that might have set itself that way, or any suggestions on how to change it? I've already tried repairing permissions on the startup disk in Disk Utility.

Bridge Freezing, Not Displaying Thumbnails, Says Disk Space is Low and to Purge Cache

Hello,
I'm working in Bridge CS5 on a Mac 0S X version 10.9.2. I have 12 GB of RAM and the server has 240 TB capacity, 76.69 available.
Recently I've received the following error message while processing large photo shoots with both DNG and JPEG files: Bridge is running low on memory. It is recommended that Bridge is restarted.
I have also been manually caching large photo shoots and my cache preferences were set to Keep 100% Preview In Cache and Automatically Export Cache To Folder When Possible. My cache size was set to 500,000. Yesterday, Bridge started to freeze while attempting to open folders. The wheel would spin at the bottom with the message Compiling Criteria. The only way to close Bridge was a Force Quit. This happened several times.
Today, image thumbnails will no longer display, only the DNG/JPEG icons. I received the following error message:
I have tried restarting Bridge while holding the alt/Option key to reset the preferences and checking all three boxes - no luck. I have done the same thing with the boxes unchecked - no luck. I have tried manually purging the cache from its location in the library - no luck. I have tried resetting the cache preferences from the toolbar - no luck. I have tried deleting the cache files from the folders - nothing changes. I have tried purging the cache for each folder from the tool bar - nothing happens.
I need to restore the thumbnails and rebuild the cache for each folder. Does anybody have an idea what is wrong or how to help?
Many Thanks!

Okay, so I have a solution. If after purging the central cache on the server Bridge continues to not perform normally try emptying the trash. I did this and it worked.

MacBook Pro becomes has spotlight problems when disk space gets low

I've noticed that when my disk space gets very low, that mds starts running all of the time bringing my laptops's performance to a crawl. I've also noticed that oddly, when I try to use spotlight for a full text search (not just from/to/subject searches) in Mail, that spotlight seems to start re-indexing immediately.
Specifically:
1) I go to mail and start a search in spotligh
2) the "message body" option is available for me to search through the entire message body
3) I select "message body" for my search, but spotlight finds no results (even though there are some)
4) the next search I do in Mail via spotlight now shows "message body" as greyed out
5) mds and associated processes suddenly start running and my mac becomes very slow
6) after some number of hours, mds stops and "message body" becomes available in Mail again for searches, but as soon as I try to use it this process repeats
I had about 10 gigs free on my disk, but after freeing up about 30 gigs this all stopped and spotlight started working again fine.

This emphasises the old guideline of having not more than about 80% of disk space used for best performance on any computer. If in doubt about which hdd to buy get the largest you can afford - probably the next size up from that!

Disk space is low in drive

Dear all,
In our IDES system it is indicating low disk space in SAP installed drive.
In that drive it contains SIDDATA1, SIDDATA2, SIDDATA3 and SIDLOG1 contents.
Our OS is Server2003 and DB is mssql 2000. I had tried shrinking the files in MSSQL level but it is not working for me. Still it is in Low disk space. Is there any way to delete the log files or any data archiving possible.
Is that we can delete the log files in SAP level.
Kindly guide me .
Thanks and regards,
Rakesh

Dear Rakesh,
First of all, what is the harddisk capacity of the machine in which IDES is installed?
In that drive it contains SIDDATA1, SIDDATA2, SIDDATA3 and SIDLOG1 contents.
Which are the directories which take space? if its SIDDATA1, SIDDATA2, SIDDATA3, you cannot reduce that. But if its SIDLOG1, you can.
Is there any way to delete the log files or any data archiving possible.
You can actually delete the old log files from usr/sap/<SID>/<INSTANCE>/work directory. But thats not going to help much. you can archive the log files through SQL enterprise manager and shrink the log files.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Jazz

Web part throwing exception at run time but not in debug mode

Hi Zakir,
I am not sure but it would be nice if you can do following
Try search ULS log with correlation id and find exact error and share here. If not able to find do following
Or in catch block write
Response.Write(ex.ToString());
and check what exception its giving.

Insufficient Disk Space for Encoding but 49.7 GB free on drive???

Attempting to build a DVD project, but I keep getting an error that there's insufficient disk space. There's almost 50GB free on the drive. What gives?

Permissions should be fine, considering I burned a DVD not more than 6 days ago, same drive.
I import video from my camcorder, create a menu screen, import the screen and video into DVD Studio Pro 3, build the project, then burn to DVD with Toast (I never have been able to burn straight from DVD Studio Pro for some strange reason)
But as of yesterday, DVD Studio Pro tells me there's not enough disk space to Encode the files. The full DVD is only 3.9 GB, and with 49 GB of empty disk space on the hard drive, that should be more than enough room to build!!!

SATA Problem: Can see hard disks in USB enclosures, but not internal

I have a mid-2010 macbook pro 13". The other day, it crashed on wake-up, and would not boot. I had a OCZ Vertex SSD boot drive, and the OEM hard drive in an optibay enclosure (replaces the optical drive and used only for data). I used this setup for one year with no problems. After much troubleshooting, I found that I could see the SSD drive by booting into a recovery partition that I have on a USB stick, and putting the SSD in a USB enclosure. Then disk utility could see it, but not mount it. The label on the boot partition was "lion", but it changed to "disk1s2". I was able to repair the drive using disk utility, and then boot from it using the USB enclosure.
Once booted, I could still see the OEM hard drive with no problems. So I powered down and put the SSD back inside the case and rebooted. It booted in safe mode, but it booted fine. The next time I rebooted, it would not boot. I swapped the OEM drive and the SSD drive, and then the sytem booted with no problems and I was able to use both drives.
One day later, I noticed my OEM drive was no longer mounted in OSX. I took it out, put it in a USB enclosure, and OSX could see it fine. There were no errors on the disk. I put it back in the macbook and reboot but OSX couldn't see it.
So, the primary SATA port seems to be working intermittently. Three times now, a drive has stopped working on this port. Each time, I could use the drive in an external enclosure (or using the other SATA port normally used for the optical drive. Does anyone have any ideas? Could it just be the cable? It is the motherboard?
I'm trying to make this computer last at least another month or so because I need to upgrade to a larger model, and am holding out for the 2012 release.

Could be something as simple as the cable...they have been known to go bad. Got an Apple store nearby? If so, it's a cheap/easy replacement.
