Hard disks memory is full

Hello all,
Now I work only 2 weeks with the SAP BW. Now it came to a mistake. I just encountered some errors while working with this database. So far there was an error while creating new tables because of an lack of hard disk space. For now it's impossible to extend the hard disk space. Therefore, I'd like to delete the data we don't really need anymore like old log data.
Could please anyone recommend some additional data which I probably could delete?
It would be really helpfull if somewone could describe how to get rid of these data.
New data are not loaded any more in the BW. However, the data is stored in the Bussiness Warehouse and should be readable and usable furthermore.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,
The first point will be PSA requests.
Its better you delete all the old PSA requests that are correctly updated into targets.
Requests which are generall some days old for eg 15 or 30 or 45.
The second place I can think of is Unused and Low valuation aggregates. There may be aggregates which are not used at all or which are only used very rarely.There may be also aggregates with very low valuation "----
". This is just an overhead on the system and does not improve query performance.
In the above both cases you can delete them as aggregates store redundant data it will save space.
The third place may be unused or obsolete targets if you have any which you dont use any more. For eg consider a scenario where you have split the data in a cube into multiple cubes based on some logical partition like region wise. Once you have loaded all the historical data into the new cubes and they are ready for reporting you can delete the old cube.
A few more places I can think of are very old change logs, Old and unwanted objects, queries, etc. There are scenarios where users are allowed to create temperorary queries for testing purpose which they ignore after the testing. On the long run this may add up. Even though it may not save a huge volume of space you can delete them.
All this should be done after consulting Business.
Then on DB level you can try performing Table space Reorg which will help you reclaim the free space.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

How do you know you only have 200GB on your disk?

Formatted Hard Disk Memory

Hi,
I am new to the Mac world, and I just got my iBook with a hard disk memory of 80G. However, when I checked out the formatted memory, 20G has already been used, leaving slightly more than 60G. Is this typical? My last notebook was only 20G (not a mac), and the formatted memory was around 17G. If any one can enlighten me, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
This amount of available space is not unusual. The "80GB" capacity is a marketing term, the Finder will report an actual formatted capacity of about 74GB. Mac OS X takes up more than 3GB and iDVD and Garage Band each take up more than 2GB of hard drive space. When you add the games and other software that comes with an iBook, 14GB of used space is just about normal. You might want to take a peek at this previous topic:

Significant hard disk memory lost.

Greetings,
Any idea how come 600MB of my hard disk memory suddenly disappeared? Dose it due to Microsoft Word ,PowerPoint and Excel? Currently i'm doing my assignments with these 3 programs. Also, "Microsoft User Data" keep appearing on my document folder. How can i keep it away from my document folder and straight away dump it to the trash??
Thank you so much.

If you use Entourage the user data file is required. I have no idea what may cause the space usage on the drive. You can use a utility like WhatSize - VersionTracker or MacUpdate to see what large files or folders are on the drive. Be careful about what you choose to delete unless you know the consequences.

About the amount of hard disk memory used during Testdrive installation

Dear all,
I have a question about installing SAP Netweaver Testdrive on Redhat Linux Enterprise 5.3. Currently I have a virtual machine (sun virtualbox) where Windows Vista is host and the guest operating system is RHLE 5.3 (32 bit). For doing several tests I would like to install the Testdrive on this linux system. Yet, the total available virtual hard disk memory is about 15 GB and I have already used more than 6GB.
Is there any way to specify the amount of hard disk memory used by Netweaver once it installs DB2 on the system? Because as it seems to me it takes more than 15 GB just for the database. But I'm not sure whether the whole space is really needed, particularly in my case where the aim of use is just for ABAP development and tests (for self-training).
Thanks in advance,
Kind Regards,
Dariyoosh

Hi,
You can refer the specific installation guide for the minimum disk space requirement.
Whatever functionality you use you need minimum space as mentioned in the installation guide.
You can configure slightly more memory than given in the installation guide to be safer.

Hard disk drive is full

hi to all experts,
i have ides ecc 6.0 installed on my 250 gb hard disk drive, it is full and it has only 13 mb free space available, how to delete unwanted data

Hi,
first stop sap.
if you already add new HDD then as temporary workaround remove virtual memory assign to your D drive if you have two partition and assign virtaul memory to new HDD.
and on future add data file for tablespace on this newly added HDD.
you can also move redo log file on different partition
1. Create new redo logfile groups in the new location.
alter database add logfile group 3 'filename','filename' size 100m;
2. Alter system switch logfile till the the new one is current and the old one is no longer active.
3. Alter system drop logfile group 1;
4 Delete old redo log file.
regards,
kaushal

Hard Disk Memory - where are you?

I have the MacBook Air a few months now. I've had the error message 'Start up Disk Full', so I cleared off old vids etc and got a few clean up tips from YouTube videos. That's ok for now.
I've used Disk Discovery to see what level of memory is taken up in files on the hard disk. From what I can gather 37Gb is taken up by everything - user and system files etc. My system resources say I have 12Gb free and the HD is 64Gb. I can't uncover where the other 15Gb is.
So, my question is two fold - How much of my 64Gb should be taken up by system files (I assumed about 10Gb) and where can I locate the remainder of my memory?
All hints & tips welcome. I want to fill up a 32Gb iPod from my iTunes.
Ta,
Phil.

If you go to the Apple Menu, select "About This Mac", and click "Storage", you'll get a sense of how much everything is taking up on your Mac.
The system is going to take up about 10-15GB of space.
Here are some hints to eek out some more storage.
Download and run Monolingual. It is free and will remove all the languages you are not going to use within the OS. For me, I only speak and use English, so I removed everything but English and saved about 1.5GB of storage space.
I purchased Clean My Mac 2 and recovered almost 5GB of storage by removing junk like log files, etc. that build up within OS X. It also has a nice feature which will show you all the files that haven't been used in a long time and/or take up a lot of space. There are ways to do this manually in Finder, but this program makes it a lot more straightforward.
After installing applications I look in the app folders for crap like sample files, readme files, legal files, etc. - all the crap that gets installed that you're never going to actually use or look at. That isn't a ton of space, but good for a few hundred MB. Every little bit counts in my book.
Always keep about 10% of your storage free. The OS constantly writes/deletes information and the less free space it has to work with the slower it will perform.
Hope this helps!

Hard disk problems after full upgrade [SOLVED]

After a full upgrage (pacman -Suy) last monday, My system denied to boot:D:D:D:D:D.
So to fix it I have to go to /boot/grub/menu.list and change from hda3 to sda3. Everything seems to be Ok but when the system is booting and scan the the hard disk to check bad, It drops me to the shell with the error that there is something wrong with my hard disk and it suggest me to set the superblock to 8139.
So to fix it I boot my PC from Arch live CD, use the following command:
#fsck.ext3 -c -f /dev/sda3
#fsck.ext3 -b 8139
Everything seems to be Ok, there is no bad in my hard disk.
When I boot my system again, I got the same error again, I came back to live CD, check the hard disk, set the superblock as It told me and again, I got the error when I boot from the hard disk.
This is the second PC with the same error.
Three months ago, I upgraded my Server and got exactly the same problem. Because this is the server, I need it run ASAP, so I modified the rc.sysinit script so that the system will not check my hard disk when It boots. :P:P. And my Server can run without any problems since then.
I don't have time much to spend on this error and my PC is in the Lab now so I can't provide the detail of the error until next Monday. Sorry for that.
Any idea how to fix this error?
Cheers.

:D:D I am a kind of lazy guy so when I did pacman -Suy, I just leave it running without reading information on the terminal.
milan wrote:I guess you didn't change entries in /etc/fstab (hda->sda).
Yes, you are right. I changed from hda to sda in /boot/grub/menu.lst but I forgot to do the same in /etc/fstab files. On Monday I will check again if it is set correctly or not
:D:D. I have just taken a quick look into the fstab file in my Server, The One with the same problem three months ago, and the fstab file is set correctly with sda partitions. I don't want to touch this server again or my services will be down. So this seems not the correct solution, but anyway, I will take a look at it next week.
Thanks for your replies.

Regarding hard disk memory

Can the memory of hard disk reduce? My hard disk capacity is 500 GB . It is showing 400 GB in windows and 20 GB in ubuntu . Is the remaining memory lost?
prudhvi

Hello prudhvi,
Based on the screenshot, the capacity is seemed right.
About the hard drive actually capacity, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer.
Thanks for your understanding.

Hard disk memory disappearing

hi
i have a power book G4 running panther OSX 10.3.9 about 4 years old but the hardrive is only 2 years old.
it's memory filled up recently so i removed 3 gigs worth of memory. i then downloaded a pdf form only for all the free memory to disappear. so i cleaned out more memory about 1.4 gigs worth only for that to disappear as well. is this a virus or a consequence of running the computer with hardly any memory.
any ideas will be greatfully received

Hi Zacster!
What size is the Hard Drive, and how much free space is available?
To find that info, click once on the Hard Drive icon to highlight it.
Press the Command + I keys to Get Info.
What is displayed for:
Capacity: ?
Available: ?
Used: ?
As Thomas Bryant posted, insufficient available space, can cause performance issues, system corruption, and possible loss of data.
Depending on Mac system usage habits, it is a general recommendation, to keep 10% to as much as 20%, of the Total capacity, available at all times.
Review the suggestions, in the documents that I have linked to below.
Authored by Dr Smoke:
Problems From Insufficient RAM And Free Hard Disk Space
Freeing Space On Your Mac OS X Startup Disk
Have you ever run any routine Maintenance procedures, as suggested in the articles linked to below?
Mac OS X 10.3/10.4: System Maintenance, authored by Gulliver
Maintaining Mac OS X, authored by Dr Smoke
Is the Mac shutdown overnight, or does it run 24/7?
If you turn the Mac off nightly, the Background Maintenance Tasks, are never run.
These can also be run, using a Third-Party utility, or manually using Terminal, to run the CRON Commands.
I use MacJanitor, when necessary.
INSTRUCTIONS TO RUN CRON MANUAL COMMANDS
Quit all applications/programs.
Navigate to HD > Applications > Utilities.
Double click on Terminal, to open.
At the prompt, type:
sudo periodic daily
Press Return.
Enter your Admin password when prompted, then press Return.
This will execute the daily script that is sheduled to run every night.
When completed, repeat this procedure, but change the command to:
sudo periodic weekly
This one rebuilds a database or two, and usually takes somewhat longer to complete. It is scheduled to run once a week.
Repeat again, with command:
sudo periodic monthly
Or they can all be run in one pass, which is preferable, with this command:
sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
When the tasks complete, and return to the prompt, you may quit Terminal.
Restart the Mac, and run Repair Permissions.
TO REPAIR PERMISSIONS ON THE STARTUP DISK
1.Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and select the startup disk in the left column.
2.Click First Aid.
3.Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions or Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions. (I never "Verify". Just run "Repair".)
Rerun RP, until the only messages reported, are listed here Spurious Permissions Errors Using: 10.3.x, authored by Michael Conniff.
When "Repair Permissions" is complete. Quit "Disk Utility".

My hard disk space is full

my external hard drive is almost full.I have a lot of mac games which I do not want to delete them to make space. I have already transferred music and pictures to external hard drive. Unfortunately I don't know how should I have to transfer my games to external hard drive. Would you please advice me what should I have to transfer my games to external hard drive? Also do you think my games will work from external hard disk. Thanks

my external hard drive is almost full.
Do you mean internal HD?
If you do mean the EHD then purchase a second EHD and move files from the 1st EHD to the 2nd EHD.
If you mean interenal HD how much free space do you currently have? A minimum of 10-15 GB is recommended for optimal system and application prefornamce.
You can move your iPhoto and iTunes libraries to the EHD and run them from there. That will release a lot of space on your internal HD.
You games probably need to be located in the Applications folder and on the internal HD if their installer installs other supporing files in the system folders. Not being a gamer is can't speculate further.
What system are you running?

Mac OS X hard disk memory discrepancies, virtual memory culprit?

Recently my iMac (2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo, 4 GB ram, 320 GB HD running Snow Leopard 10.6.5 ) has started acting really weird. Mainly, the hard drive space has reached almost zero for no apparent reason. I've added up the volumes of the four files on my drive (Applications, Users, Library, and System) and come up with a sum of only 123.94 GB taken up. I've also scanned my drive using OmniDiskSweeper and Disk Inventory X (the two programs recommended to me via colleagues and tech support) and came up with a similar result (give or take a gigabyte). Eventually i checked the Activity monitor, and found to my surprise that a whopping ~135 GB was being used for virtual memory purposes. The virtual memory usage was read right after startup with no background programs running. Currently my drive only has 4 to 5 GB of free space on it, and that's after deleting certain unnecessary programs and files. i've tried rebooting my mac several times, but to no avail, and the trash bin is empty. I don't even have space on my hard disk to burn a DVD through iDVD anymore, and i need that capability for my job. Is virtual memory the culprit behind these problems? What can i do to fix this?

Eventually i checked the Activity monitor, and found to my surprise that a whopping ~135 GB was being used for virtual memory purposes.
This is misleading.
Is virtual memory the culprit behind these problems?
No. The actual problem is most likely excessively large items in /private/var/log/ and/or /Volumes/; the Finder's Go to Folder command can be used to navigate to both. You may also want to check the actual VM swap space in /private/var/vm/, but shouldn't delete anything in there.

Upgrading Portege 7140 (Hard disk, Memory)

Hi,
I have recently purchased a second hand Portege through eBay. I have done a little research and I am under the impression that the 7140 has a Memory expansion bay into which I can put a 32mb,64mb,128mb or 256mb memory stick. Toshiba only sells a max of 128mb but Kingston sells a 256mb stick for the laptop. Will the 256mb work okay?
Second question - can I stick any 2.5" EIDE disk drive in the Laptop? Is there a technical spec somewhere which lists BIOS revision against support disk sizes?
Final question - I haven't actually recieved the laptop yet and from reading the technical spec pdf it seems as though it doesn't have an internel floppy disk drive? If this is correct the only way I will be able to upgrade the bios is through windows, is this correct? The only problem if that is the case is that I use Linux not Windows. I may have to purchase an external floppy drive.
Anyway thanks for any help or suggestions anyone may have.
Jon

Hi Spinksi,
Colleague of mine has the same machine at home. He put 256 MB RAM and it works fine. His RAM is manufactured by Toshiba. You can use Kingston RAM also.
He has also 20 GB HDD. It works properly. Before you change HDD make BIOS update. You can find the latest Version on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin under Download BIOS. There you can find Toshiba BIOS-Update Description. Read it before proceeding. It is very important.
As far as I know there is no some kind of spec where you can find data about BIOS and disk sizes.
Answer on your final question is: You are right. Portege had no FDD, and you need it for BIOS Update. But I am sure that you can find low priced one by ebay.
Bye

My Macbook Air startup disk memory is full.

The disk utility shows only 262 MB of free space available. I have 44 GB of space occupied by the "other" category. What is in this category and how can I free up some space? I can't even download necessary updates because I have no space left!

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also 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. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP 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.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in 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.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.
