Does filevault use more disk space?

Does filevault use more disk space than when not using it?  I'm running an SSD drive and need to keep usage to a minimum.  Thx

The difference is about 200 MB, regardless of the size of the volume.

  • Does increasing Exchange Storgage Quota use more disk space immediately?

    Exchange does not use the space immediately, it just allows each mailbox to grow up to that size.
    I would consider carefully before increasing the quota limit. One of the reasons for having a quota is to keep mailboxes to a manageable size. Every GB of size costs a heck of a lot more than just the GB on the spindle.

    Hi
    The current policy is a 20Gb limit. Thanks to a post I made in this forum, I know that 21 of the users are nearing this limit.
    Now I can increase the limit for those 21. Or I can change the policy to 25Gb for everyone. If I increase it to 25Gb for everyone, does Exchange use the disk space immediately? Lets say I had 1000 Gb free, and 150 users. Does increasing by 5Gb mean that 5x150 = 750Gb is now allocated? Or does exchange use the disk space as required?
    Thanks

  • If I bring in photos from Iphoto, am I using more disk space on my hard drive. I dont want to duplicate my entire file. I have 26000 photos in I photo.

    If I bring in photos from Iphoto, am I using more disk space on my hard drive. I dont want to duplicate my entire file. I have 26000 photos in I photo.

    You have to duplicate the photos unless you want to use PSE as the external editor for iphoto. In iphoto, your photos are stored in a proprietary library, which should never be messed with by programs other than iphoto. Writing to the iphoto library from outside iphoto is the fastest way to corrupt it and lose all the pics it contains.
    So you can either set PSE as your external editor and send the photos from within iphoto, or you must export the photos from iphoto to be able to use them outside that program.

  • Use more disk space from 8K block_size to 16K block_size

    Can some one answer my question, I have instance A (8K block_size), create a new Instance B (16K block_size), export (FULL) from Instance A, Import (FULL) onto Instance B.
    I was wondering if changing from 8K instance to 16K instance will take more space.
    I compared the tablespaces from both Instances (A & B), they seem to be the same.
    Can any one help me in thise area, because I need to plan for future 16K instances and need to plan for more space if required.
    Thanks

    Hi Patrick,
    I was wondering if changing from 8K instance to 16K instance will take more space.No, not if you "half" your PCTFREE to have the same reserved space as 8k.
    For example, pctfree=10 is 800 bytes on 8k blocks, but pctfree=10 is 1,600 bytes on a 16k block . . .
    Also, MAKE SURE you don't hit this UGLY BUG in 16k blocksizes:
    http://www.oraclealchemist.com/oracle/hey-guys-does-size-matter/
    "The final result: When the update was run against the 16k blocksize DB, it took 45 minutes. Against the 4k blocksize DB on the same box with the same parameters and the same FS mounts, it took 2 minutes 20 seconds."
    Also, see these important notes on using non-standard blocksizes:

  • Shutdown postponed by message asking if FileVault should recover disk space

    Does anyone know how to specify a default preference for handling this message? After selecting "shutdown" and agreeing to "shutdown now", several seconds later, after having walked away from the screen, and then glancing back, I find I am then prompted to answer "continue or cancel" before shutdown can proceed. This is annoying, as I expect the system to be able to shut down after I instructed it to. Further, this message interferes with the system's ability to automatically shut down cleanly when the UPS detects an electrical power failure. Following is the text of the message: Your home folder, which is protected by FileVault, is using more disk space than necessary. FileVault can recover this space. Would you lke to continue? When you click continue, FileVault will recover the unused disk space. Although this takes a while and you cannot stop it, it's recommended that you let FileVault recover the disk space now.

    Why is it so many of the questions I need answers to, others have asked, but not gotten a solution to either?
    The filevault reclaim space warning is very frustrating when combined with Timbuktu. If you attempt to restart a computer remotely that is protected by filevault, and the warning about reclaiming space comes up, you are stuck. The Timbuktu process has already been stopped. I've found that I can SSH into the box, and I can likely kill the process responsible for the reclaim space warning, but it would be nice to just have the box timeout after a few seconds, and default to Cancel.
    Does this happen with RDC (or the VNC client built into 10.4?)

    I would actually question whether or not more disks increase the risk of a disk failure. One disk can break as likely as one of two of more disks.
    Simple stats.  Buying 2 lottery tickets instead of one, gives you 2 chances to win the lottery prize. Not 1. Even though the odds of winning per ticket remains unchanged.
    2 disks buy you 2 tickets in The-Drive-Failure lottery.
    Back in the 90's, BT (British Telecom) had a 80+ node OPS cluster build with Pyramid MPP hardware. They had a dedicated store of scsi disks for replacing failed disks - as there were disk failure fairly often due to the number of disks. (a Pryamid MPP chassis looked like a Xmas tree with all the scsi drive LEDs, and BT had several)
    In my experience - one should rather expect a drive failure sooner, than later. And have some kind of contingency plan in place to recover from the failure.
    The use of symbolic links instead of striping the filesystem protects from the complete loss of the enchilada if a volume member fails, but it does not reduce the risk of loosing data.
    I would rather buy a single ticket for the drive failure lottery for a root drive, than 2 tickets in this case. And using symbolic links to "offload" non-critical files to the 2nd drive means that its lottery ticket prize is not a non-bootable server due to a toasted root drive.

  • What kind of hardware do I buy to add more disk space?

    Hi Makeda here:
    I like to know how can I increase my disk space on my Mac OSX 10.3.9? What is the name of the product I need to buy? I made a mistake and thought I needed more memory to get more disk space. The tech told me that purchasing more memory using a memory chip will give me more disk space. I found out this is not true. Please advise. Thanks in advance.

    Makeda:
    First, let us get some info on your computer. Boot up your computer in Panther. Then go to Apple Menu > About this Mac. Click the button More Info. This opens up the System Profiler. The top item in the sidebar is Hardware. Click on this if it not already selected. On the right side under the title Hardware Overview is a list of specs. Copy this and paste it in your response to this post. That will give me the basic information about your computer.
    Now to some of your questions. Your computer has two kinds of memory: 1. RAM memory, is like your brain. It holds things in your mind while you process information. When you stop thinking about it the information is not there anymore. 2. Your Hard Disk Drive, is like a notebook in which you write down the stuff you think about. It keeps a permanent record. If the notebook is not big enough it soon fills up and you can't store information anymore.
    That is about where you are. You need to increase disk space. There are two basic ways to do that. 1. Remove stuff from your Hard Disk Drive (HDD). That increases the amount of free space, but it does not increase the capacity of the HDD. The leads us to the second way. 2. Replace the HDD. You cannot make it bigger, you have to buy a bigger drive and install it in your computer. That will give you more disk space. The System Profiler will tell you how big your drive is. Just under Hardware in the sidebar is ATA. That is your hard drive. Click on it. On the right side it gives you all the information. Note particularly under Macintosh HD the heading Capacity. It tells you how much your drive can hold. Note, too Available, which tells you how much empty space you have on your drive.
    When I upgraded to Panther I thought I was also increasing my "disk" space capacity? True? Or am I confusing myself more?
    Panther is an Operating System. It is what makes your computer function. It makes your computer able to run applications. It is installed on your HDD, and adds power to your computer, but it does not add disk space. Only a Hard Drive does that.
    OK, that's enough for now. Post back with further questions and I will try to answer in the best way I can.
    Good luck.

    buy an external HD   1TB for $60
    NO notebook is a mass storage device, so dont try to turn it into one, it doesnt work that way.
    Unless youre using it every couple weeks, its static data and should be on an external HD
    In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace.  You should never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’.
    Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their computers internal HD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
    Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your macbook has a HD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your computer to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.

  • I need more disk space how do I do this?

    need more disk space how do I do this?

    First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
    Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    After installing ODS in the Applications folder, drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. When you're done with it, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • Time Machine drive reporting more and more disk space available

    OK, so I've been using Time Machine since 28-OCT-2007 and all my backups are present. I have watched my TMDrive (Buffalo 500GB Fire Wire) report as little as 20GB available and slowly over the past 30 or so days report 205.42 GB now available. Any sizable downloading I do is pointed at another external HDD and that is listed in the Do NOt Backup list. I understand how hourly and daily works, but to see such drastic swing in available disk space seems a bit odd. Has anyone else seen this?
    Message was edited by: brenodo

    Brenodo,
    As backups are thinned, you will see a reduction in the amount of space used on the TM drive. This is entirely normal. Keep in mind that TM is designed to maintain a "restorable" copy of your system, and all of your user files, past and present. This represents a discreet amount of data which is only added to in small increments, really... as you say, any large downloads are going to a dedicated external.
    While TM might temporarily use much more disk space to manage its backups, the thinning process will eventually weed out everything that is unnecessary, as you are now seeing. I wouldn't be surprised if you begin to see the free space being used again, at some point, and the cycle will begin anew.

  • "Create alternate versions without using extra disk space" Really?

    "Create alternate versions without using extra disk space" says Apple. But is that really true? Because, from what I understand, for Aperture's OS Integration (with the Media Browser) to work, Aperture has to render Previews of all your photos first. So, any alternate versions that you create, do exist on your Hard Drive in the form of an actual file (e.g. a JPEG).

    As Ian notes, it's smaller than a RAW - also smaller than an alternate PSD you might make, or duplicating a background layer in a PSD.
    Also though, you don't have to have previews for everything - I find what I do is leave automatic preview generation turned off and then just generate previews for images that I like the end result of. This lets you explore alternate versions with essentially no addition space used.

  • Need more disk space

    I need more disk space. Can I delete CS5 and LR4 now that I am running CC?

    Sure. Just be aware that you may need to reinstall CC due to shared components possibly being removed by the old uninstallers. Though, to be honest, those 2.5 GB won't save your bacon if you are already short on space...

  • Does iCloud use up storage space on my MacBook too?

    Does iCloud use up storage space on my MacBook too?  When I copied files from an external drive to my iCloud drive, my available space on my MacBook went from 40GB free to less than 2 GB.  I thought iCloud was separate storage where I can free up space on my MacBook.

    To free up space you want to look for:
    1) files you no longer need. Omni DiskSweeper will help you see what's on the SSD.
    2) if you use iPhoto be aware that it has its own trash can. If you delete files from iPhoto you must then right click on the iPhoto trash can and select delete or the pictures remain on the hard drive.
    3) look for movies, tv shows, digital photos and music you can move to an external drive or mini-flash drive and then delete from the SSD. These are very large files so you can free up lots of space with just a few deletions. Example: my entire Documents folder is smaller than one two hour movie.

  • More disk space for FPGA platform

    Hi all,
    I have the Xilinx FPGA evaluation platform and have the opensparc processor that came on the CF card up and running. The default opensolaris disk image that is running only has 7MB of free space on it. I've been able to ftp small files onto the board, but I am looking for some more disk space so I can run larger applications. Is there any way to mount the compact flash card or a USB drive to provide more storage space?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi herrmaec,
    We have been working on the same problem. How did you set up ftp? We followed the instruction but ping from another machine doesn't work.
    Here's our experience.
    We tried to increase the image size so that more applications could be included. But in addition to changing the disk size on the microblaze firmware, we'd need to modify the hypervisor code accordingly. But we still couldn't get it boot up correctly.
    We thought about utilizing the flash card and USB. There's an option of writing to the flash card on xps, but we haven't explored that. I did try setting up USB on the OpenSolaris. But after copying related binaries into the image, the USB still didn't get recognized. I started to wonder if the USB firmware support is actually available.
    Another thought I had was to replace the 256 MB on-board memory with a larger one.
    Let me know if you have any thoughts. It'll be great if you could help with our network and ftp setup. Thanks.

Maybe you are looking for
