Freeze Files and Memory

Is there a way to auto delete freeze files when you save a project. I mean sure you'll have to refreeze them when you load again but, I've got all these projects with freeze files just eating up my disk space.

i had the same problem for a long time until i slapped myself on the forhead and figured out that i should be bouncing tracks instead of freezing all of them. i arrange all my instruments into one folder. drums/percussion get a folder, etc....i have a powerbook with 2g RAM and i am working with 25 tracks per song. i kept clipping on my memory capacity, even with freezing all the tracks. so, i started bouncing maybe 2 or 3 tracks instead of 10+ tracks. then i would have the room to work on the drums/percussion while i solo the instruments bounced track.
when you look at your file sizes, you'll get them down below 500mb vs several gig with too many frozen files.
have fun

  • What is recommended size of System drive to keep operating system files , paging files and Memory Dump of hyper-v host.

    Hi ,
    I want to setup hyper-v host with 128 GB RAM  , Windows 2012 R2
    What is recommended size of System drive  to keep operating system files  , paging files  and Memory Dump?
    I tested to using 150 GB  , but when the server is crashed, there is no free space to keep memory dump file.
    Ramy

    Hi Ramy,
    For Server 2012R2 the absolute minimum system drive is 32Gb but this assume you have limited RAM or have your Page file located on another drive. It used to be best practice to setup a small page file but MS PFE now suggest leaving windows to manage
    the page file size.
    Obviously this is not always possible depending on the amount of RAM in the system, but base the system drive around this or offload the Page file to perhaps another drive. On top of this you also need space for the memory dump to be written, potentially
    again up to the size of the RAM. Assuming you fire the machine back up after a crash, you need space for the OS, the Page File plus space for the associated dump file.
    There is a nice little article here that maybe of assistance:  http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13383.best-practices-for-page-file-and-minimum-drive-size-for-os-partition-on-windows-servers.aspx

  • MVCC, freezer files and cache overflow

    Hi,
    I had an idea. The docs say: "If the cache becomes full of page copies before the old copies can be discarded, additional I/O will occur as pages are written to temporary "freezer" files. This can substantially reduce throughput, and should be avoided if possible by configuring a large cache and keeping snapshot isolation transactions short."
    How about allocating a new cache file (of the same size as the original) in the env instead of creating hundreds (or more) freezer files when the cache is overflowing ? One can have multiple cache files already by specifying the cache in multiple segments. What's particularly irksome about these freezer files is that they stick around, even past checkpoints and restarts.
    Could this work ?
    Andi..

    Hi Michael,
    What you just said makes a lot of sense. DB_READ_UNCOMMITTED and snapshot isolation don't make much sense used together. Using DB_READ_UNCOMMITTED everywhere, I should not be having many deadlocks or blockages. But, until now, I was getting lots of them unless I was using MVCC. The reason is that I found several places where I wasn't using the DB_READ_UNCOMMITTED bit with getting cursors or getting data. As a matter of fact, because of an egregious bug of mine not propagating the DB_READ_UNCOMMITTED bit properly, many data accesses were still wrongly using the default - maximum - isolation level.
    To find these places, I set an artificially low txn timeout and traced back to the bogus calls from the DB_LOCK_DEADLOCK exceptions I'd receive. I believe I found them all now. :)
    Reading data that is not yet committed is not a problem for us except in one specific case. DB_READ_UNCOMMITTED should be completely safe as the Chandler repository is, in a way, duplicating in a persistent way what MVCC also does, that is, keeping multiple versions of data around and presenting multiple versions of data to different transactions.
    The only place where a higher isolation level is needed - DB_READ_COMMITTED - is in the small database containing the latest version number for the Chandler repository. Using DB_READ_UNCOMMITTED everywhere except in this version db and opening this and this database only with DB_MULTIVERSION solves all the problems I was trying to solve with using MVCC everywhere earlier. Because most transactions I create span multiple databases, I am still opening all read-only transactions with DB_TXN_SNAPSHOT but it should only have an effect when accessing this one lone db opened with DB_MULTIVERSION, correct ?
    This is a major breakthrough for me. Commit throughput in a large mail import operation (done in chunks) is now three times what it was before.
    It is also much harder, but however still possible, to get freezer files, with the usual dramatic worsening of performance. Maybe 64mb cache is too small. I'm going to double that and watch it over time. Even though the 'version' db is tiny, it is a btree with one record per version plus two records that are being updated every time a new version is written, I still managed to get, over time, up to two thousand freezer files.
    This has been a productive exercise as I had very wrongly assumed that I was using DB_READ_UNCOMMITTED consistently already.

  • IPOD Freezes Itunes and Memory is full of "Other"

    I have an 80g Ipod classic and i recently updated my itunes to version 10.6.1 (7).  After my latest sync, my ipod now has no music but 1/2 the memory is full with "other".  I have reset my ipod several times but the music fails to appear.  I cannot restore my Ipod because when I connect it to itunes, the program freezes up.  The application stops responding and I have to close Itunes all together.  All of my music is saved in my itunes library and I dont want to lose any of it.  Someone please help!!! 
    I also noticed that since the most recent itunes update I am having problems connecting to the itunes store.  It keeps saying check the internet connection and try again.  My internet works fine but for some reason itunes will not allow me to connect to the itunes store.  PLEASE HELP!!!

    I have a similar problem with my 120gb classic, my ipod shows no music or any data but states that memory is full of other, I've tried everything I can think of, rebooting does nothing, connecting to pc freezes itunes and I am unable to access in disk mode either, it shows in my computer but just hangs when trying to access it, so a reformat or restore is not an option, diagnostics shows an error when checking harddrive with HDSMARTdata. I'm sorry to say that I have a feeling that our hard drives are buggered cos surely if you cant access it you can fix it. Very dissapointed with apples service as mine was an under warranty replacent which was resseting itself randomly exessively often, sometimes up to 6 times a day from when I received it, I sent it back within two days stating it had a fault only to have it sent back the next day being told its fine! It is obvious that apple have sent me a replacement ipod with a recycled hard drive which was obviously faulty from day one and now its given up the ghost, I very much regret not holding my ground and demanding a fully working replacement at the time as now I have to fork out for yet another ipod!

  • System stats - files and memory

    Please accept my apology if this is the wrong forum!
    Is there a way - system calls eg. - to tell how much memory and how many files a process or thread uses? I know I can use /proc to find info about file handles, but I expect there must be a place where the system keeps this information?
    I want to be able to tell from within the program itself - I'm using third party libraries, and apparently they allocate inordinate amounts of resources without freeing them; and they are not about to admit the fault is in their code, so I have to see which resources are in use before and after calling their code.

    Please accept my apology if this is the wrong forum!Yeah, this is Solaris OS question :-)

  • Music Files and Memory Card On N97 mini

    I,ve own my N97 mini for about a month now, been serving me well except for this problem...
    I created a folder on the E:/ drive for storing musics I transfered via PC Siute but I noticed that I can't seem to find the onces I trasfered via Bluetooth. When I open the music player and refresh, it seems some of the musics are not added to it. When I open the folder I created for musics I see the songs there but when I go back to the music player it ain't there.
    What can be done? 
    I added an 8G memory card to my phone and it's been misbehaving. Problems ranging from slow boot up and opening of applications to this error NOT ENOUGH MEMORY PLEASE DELETE SOME DATA whenever I try to open the music player. I understand that N97 mini can take upto 16G memory card but how come 8G gives it problems?

    Why on EARTH are you transferring music by Bluetooth ??? Simply connect the phone to your computer by usb cable in Mass Media mode. The phone will show in 'My Computer' as an external hard drive E. Open it and your music folder will be there. Then drag and drop any music you want FROM your computer TO the 'Music' folder on your phone, safely disconnect the phone from computer, go to music player and refresh music, that's all there is to it !!

  • Pdf files and memory....

    Has anyone else noticed that if you are working with a .pdf file in M4 and you leave the 'fixed resolution' box unchecked in the inspector's 'media' tab that once you play through your animation, it fills up your RAM just like when you render a RAM preview? I find that the only way to clear my RAM is to actually go to edit/ram preview/clear ram preview --- just like I would if I actually had rendered a RAM preview. Is this some kind of bug or am I just not getting something here?
    Basically, I have to leave the .pdf in fixed resolution while I am working on my project or otherwise, my 5GB of RAM will fill up in seconds if I play through my timeline.

    iPads don't have a filesystem like a computer, Files of that nature must be associated with an App and reside inside that particular App's file space.  So the way to find them is to open the App that opens that file type and look in its file or document list for them.

  • System Slows Down and Freezes a LOT - Memory?  Swap?  Hard Drive?  AV?

    I have a 2.4 GHz 24" dual core iMac (identifier: 7,1). It worked fine for a good while and lately I've been having problems that seem to be getting worse (sometimes it seems to get better, then worse again). I have 4 GB of memory and I'm waiting for more RAM to upgrade it to 6 GB, since I hear that's the max anyone's run successfully in this model.
    I've often had a number of programs running at once. Usually I have Firefox, Apple Mail, the KDE's Konsole and Kate (from MacPorts), Calendar, Stickies, MacIago, and Pysol running. (Yes, it helps to have a few games up for breaks when I'm working.) I know that's a lot, but for well over a year, I was working with that setup without problems, without getting stuck for long times with the pinwheel of death or anything like that.
    I'm not exactly sure when it started, but now I have times where I will do something and the program will freeze and I get the pinwheel of death. I wait and after 30-60 seconds I can do something, but sometimes I still get hesitations and a start-freeze&stop-go mode for a bit. Sometimes this freezes the whole computer for up to 30-60 seconds and I can't even check another space with Command-Arrow.
    I've been trying to backtrack to see if I could figure out what is causing this. Sometimes killing Firefox helps, so I switched to Chrome and watched for usage on Activity Monitor and Chrome uses FAR less CPU time. I have FlashBlock and AdBlocker Plus on Chrome (had it on Firefox, and before that, used NoScript for blocking). But I've seen this happen even without a browser open.
    I suspect this could be an issue with swap, since recently I was watching and saw spikes in disk usage around these times, but I'm not sure of the correlation yet. Sometimes it seems like whenever I switch to a different program, whenever I use a new feature, I have to wait (as if it's loading library code or something).
    Again, this is a recent issue.
    I've upgraded from 10.6.5 to 10.6.6, so I don't know if that could effect this.
    I've also started using the free version of Sophos Anti-Virus (which is apparently impossible to quit once it's running) and thought it might be doing scans.
    What's also puzzled me is seeing that, with 4 GB of memory, Activity Monitor continually shows 1 GB free, but still indicates 2 GB swap files. So is there a reason 25% of my RAM is not being used?
    I've also checked and found my drive to be heavily fragmented. I bought iDefrag, but it can't defrag it because there seem to be some bad blocks. Rather than mark them as bad every time it hits that spot, it just tells me it can't access that part of the drive.
    My guess is that OS X, for some reason, leaves a set amount of memory free to use for various reasons and that, due to fragmentation, what was once an easy task of accessing something in a swap file is now time-consuming.
    Is that on target? What else could be causing this problem? This is beginning to make my iMac unusable. If it's just swap file issues and defrag problems, I'm thinking of cloning my internal 320 GB drive to a 1 TB drive and replacing the original, then running iDefrag for good measure and continuing from there. (It seems like in OS X finding bad blocks is difficult, from what I've seen.)
    What can I do and does anyone have any idea what the problem is? I'll be glad to give more details if that helps, but I've tried to include as much as I can already.
    Thanks for any ideas or help.

    Considering how I've solved this, I'm pretty much shocked that nobody had any answers for this.
    I upgraded my drive from the standard 320 GB drive (which had about 79 GB free on it). I used Carbon Copy Clone to copy my system drive to a 1 TB drive, then swapped out the 320 GB for the 1 TB. When I booted it up and started working, I noticed it was back to the way things used to be: I could go from one program to another to another with NO problem at all. No pinwheels of death and I even added a few more more running programs and still had no issue.
    I have no idea why, but before, even when there was a 2 GB swap file, 1 GB (out of 4 GB) of RAM was always unused. I don't know if the OS looks at what it can access and figures read/write times and uses that to figure out how much memory it can effectively handle or what, but now I'm using almost all of my 4 GB of RAM and the swap file is smaller than it was.
    So upgrading to a larger drive made a HUGE difference. I'm willing to bet that defragging the old one would have made a difference as well, but there were problems with some files and iDefrag could not read them, which also makes me suspect that drive was on its last legs and close to failure. (That and bad sectors could also have slowed down swap, along with fragmentation issues.)
    The solution was a bigger drive, but I suspect defragging the old drive might have helped (if it weren't for possible bad blocks). I know deleting files from the old drive did not help too much.

    are you backing up files, or doing a Time machine backup, either way, the Time machine will STOP when finished and show "last backup at XXXXXX"  meaning its done...... OR if when transferring files, it will show a progress bar on your desktop and vanish when files are copied.
    Open up the Hitachi drive (your G drive is made by Hitachi, and the best made by the way).....and see if the files are there.
    a MORE VISUAL way is to open the hard drive file, and drag and drop files INTO the Gdrive and you can see them visually be copied there as you do it.
    To see your HD on your desktop GOTO  FINDER......PREFERENCES....then GENERAL TAB.........check the box marked HARD DRIVES.........then your Gdrive will appear on your desktop........open it from there,  and DRAG and drop files from anywhere INTO the Gdrive....... easy visual way to see the files being copied into the Gdrive.

    Hello, I have two questions on time capsule  I can only have it on my external hd files and free up my internal memory to my mac  I can use an external hard drive, in my case a lacie rugged as shared memory for my two computers

    I have a mackbook pro and an iMac if I buy a time capsule 2tb airport, I can use it with time machine and what would be the best way to use it.
    There is no particular setup required for TM.. both computers will create their own backup sparsebundle which is like a virtual disk.. Pondini explains the whole thing if you read the reference I gave you.
    and how to use time capsule airport whit other external hd to use my old lacie airport with the new time capsule
    Up to you.. you can plug the external drive into the TC and enjoy really slow file transfers or you can plug it into your computer and use it as external drive.. which is faster than the TC.. and TM can include it in the backup.
    Again everything is explained in the reference.. you are not reading it.

  • TS3694 Why is my i-tunes freezing up and is accompanied by a message "Saying Itunes can't save anything due to lack of memory and my system is equiped with 16gb?

    I Have always used Itunes for my music and for reasons beyond me Itunes has been freezing up and lately it has bringing a mate that reseambles a normal Windows error message but it's telling me that Itunes has to close and the program can't save anything due to lack of memory ? So I updated the program to Version 10.6 last night and while downloading songs and album artwork Today it froze up an brought his mate the message back. And Yet my Laptop is as tooled up as well as a bovver boy on his way to a riot With 16gb of ddr3 plus 2 x Nvidia Gtx 580m's In Sli. So by rights any type of multimedia should run as smooth as silk and i never thought i would have a program make use of 16gb of ram all by itself. So if anybody has been through it an come out on top instead of passing Itunes over for another program and can give any advice or a hint would be much Appreciated... Thanks to Anybody listening....

    Becasue something got corrupted on the iPod. It happens sometimes. Just restore the iPod to factory settings/new iPod and then try restoring from your backup.

    And what happens if the OS swaps your application to hard drive while the user goes to lunch? Is that or is that not a problem?
    In some business domains that is a problem and in others it isn't.

  • Nio ByteBuffer and memory-mapped file size limitation

    I have a question/issue regarding ByteBuffer and memory-mapped file size limitations. I recently started using NIO FileChannels and ByteBuffers to store and process buffers of binary data. Until now, the maximum individual ByteBuffer/memory-mapped file size I have needed to process was around 80MB.
    However, I need to now begin processing larger buffers of binary data from a new source. Initial testing with buffer sizes above 100MB result in IOExceptions (java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Map failed).
    I am using 32bit Windows XP; 2GB of memory (typically 1.3 to 1.5GB free); Java version 1.6.0_03; with -Xmx set to 1280m. Decreasing the Java heap max size down 768m does result in the ability to memory map larger buffers to files, but never bigger than roughly 500MB. However, the application that uses this code contains other components that require the -xMx option to be set to 1280.
    The following simple code segment executed by itself will produce the IOException for me when executed using -Xmx1280m. If I use -Xmx768m, I can increase the buffer size up to around 300MB, but never to a size that I would think I could map.
    try
    String mapFile = "C:/temp/" + UUID.randomUUID().toString() + ".tmp";
    FileChannel rwChan = new RandomAccessFile( mapFile, "rw").getChannel();
    ByteBuffer byteBuffer = rwChan.map( FileChannel.MapMode.READ_WRITE,
    0, 100000000 );
    rwChan.close();
    catch( Exception e )
    e.printStackTrace();
    I am hoping that someone can shed some light on the factors that affect the amount of data that may be memory mapped to/in a file at one time. I have investigated this for some time now and based on my understanding of how memory mapped files are supposed to work, I would think that I could map ByteBuffers to files larger than 500MB. I believe that address space plays a role, but I admittedly am no OS address space expert.
    Thanks in advance for any input.
