How best use the four internal disks for user folder?

Hi everyone
With the addition of a new boot disk in the second optical bay i wish to restructure my user folder. It has so far lived on one drive which i have backed up every day to one of the other internals (i also have external backups). One reason i have installed a new boot disk in the optical bay is that i have run out of space on the user folder drive (and its backup drive).
I am now wondering how i should set up the four internals if i want to use all of them for the user folder and an internal backup. Performance is an important consideration for me.
I know raid setups are not backups but given that i also have external backup could i use, for instance, raid 1 or 1+0 to mimic the current two-disk setup? Which would be preferable and are there other alternative (such as having some subfolders of the user folder, like photos and documents, on one disk and the rest of the subfolders on another disk)?
Thanks for your help

I said forget those fancy software 0+1 or 10; they aren't supported, have high overhead, and you need 4 drives of same and would still not have enough space. Why bring it up again, it's still no in my book and from trouble it can be.
I'm not even a fan of Apple mirror arrays. they are fine for where 24/7 and live audio recording and to protect from the rare drive failure is all. And then I use SoftRAID.com ($149).
Full to me means less than 20% free. Though I tend to keep drives closer to 35-40% free. Less than 10-15% or less than 10-20GB can be hazardous.
Don't put scratch on boot drive. Get more RAM, have another drive or two for scratch if necessary unless it doesn't impact you. It should though. Spotlight can get in the way, needs to be disabled so having a dedicated volume on another drive has always worked best.

  • How to use the same POWL query for multiple users

    Hello,
    I have defined a POWL query which executes properly. But if I map the same POWL query to 2 portal users and the 2 portal users try to access the same page simultaneously then it gives an error message to one of the users that
    "Query 'ABC' is already open in another session."
    where 'ABC' is the query name.
    Can you please tell me how to use the same POWL query for multiple users ?
    A fast reply would be highly appreciated.

    Batch processing usually involves using actions you have recorded.  In Action you can insert Path that can be used during processing documents.  Path have some size so you may want to only process document that have the same size.  Look in the Actions Palette fly-out menu for insert path.  It inserts|records the current document work path into the action being worked on and when the action is played it inserts the path into the document as the current work path..

  • How to use the same services-config for the local and remote servers.

    You are confusing "served from a web-server" with "compiled on a web-server". Served from a web-server means you are downloading a file from the web-server, it does not necessarily mean that the files has been generated / compiled on the server.
    The server.name and server.port tokens are replaced at runtime (ie. on the client when the swf has been downloaded and is running) not compile time (ie. while mxmlc / ant / wet-tier compiler is running). You do not need to compile on the server to take advantage of this.
    Hi Paul,
    In Flex, there is feature that lets developer to put all service-config.xml file configuration information into swf file. with
    -services=path/to/services-config.xml
    IF
    services-config.xml
    have tokens in it and user have not specified additional
    -context-root
    and this swf file is not served from web-app-server (like tomcat for example) than it will not work,
    Flash player have no possible way to replace token values of service-config.xml file durring runtime if that service-config.xml file have been baked into swf file during compilation,
    for example during development you can launch your swf file from your browser with file// protocol and still be able to access blazeDS services if
    -services=path/to/services-config.xml
    have been specified durring compilation.
    I dont know any better way to exmplain this, but in summary there is two places that you can tell swf  about service confogiration,
    1) pass -services=path/to/services-config.xml  parameter to compiler this way you tell swf file up front about all that good stuff,
    or 2) you put that file on the webserver( in this case, yes you should have replacement tokens in that file) and they will be repaced at runtime .

  • How to use the table maintenance events for validating the input entries..?

    Hi,
    I have created a Z table with 6 fields in which all are KEY fields. All are of CHAR type. I have created the Table Maintenance Generator for the same. While maintaining the entries in the table, even though I maintain a blank entry for a field it is saving the entry. But, I don't want that way. All the fields are mandatory in my table. One should enter all the fields. Otherwise it should not allow to save the entry. So, I think it can be done using the Table Maintenance Events. can someone tell me how to use the Table Maintenance Events. and which event to use for my reuqirement and what is the logic to be written.
    Or Is there any other way to solve my problem.
    Please share your inputs. Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    paddu.

    In the table maintenance generator, Environment --> Modifications --> Events then a screen will be appear here,we need to create the Events.In the EVENTS screen, press new Entries, there give 01(Before Saving the Data in the Database) and give a name(This will become a PERFORM), then click the Editor pushbutton, this will be there at the right side of the entry, then a popup will be appear, you can create an include program, there inside of the include program write ur code.
    Here is documentation for Event 01(Before Saving the Data in the Database )
    Event 01: Before Saving the Data in the Database
    Use
    This event occurs before new, changed or deleted entries are written to the database. Other activities can be performed, for example:
    hidden entry processing
    fill hidden fields
    flag data to be written to hidden tables after the database change.
    To have the changes saved by the central maintenance dialog routines, SY-SUBRC must be set to 0 at the end of the routine.
    Realization
    This event has no standard routine. The following global data is available for the realization of the user routine:
    internal table TOTAL
    field symbols
    field symbols <ACTION> and <ACTION_TEXT>
    <STATUS>-UPD_FLAG
    If internal table data are to be changed before saving, t he changes should be made in both the internal table TOTAL and in the internal table EXTRACT.
    FORM abc.
    DATA: F_INDEX LIKE SY-TABIX. "Index to note the lines found
    LOOP AT TOTAL.
    IF <ACTION> = desired constant.
    READ TABLE EXTRACT WITH KEY <vim_xtotal_key>.
    IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
    F_INDEX = SY-TABIX.
    ELSE.
    CLEAR F_INDX.
    ENDIF.
    (make desired changes to the line TOTAL)
    MODIFY TOTAL.
    CHECK F_INDX GT 0.
    EXTRACT = TOTAL.
    MODIFY EXTRACT INDEX F_INDX.
    ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    SY-SUBRC = 0.
    ENDFORM.

  • How to use the same credit card for more than one customer master

    Hi,
    this is a question for consultants at least a little familiar with SAP business partner, Customer-vendor-intergration cvi, contract accounting:
    My customer wants to store the same credit card with more than one customer. Arguments are that family members or partners may mutually agree to use the same credit card for their distinct purchases.
    I never tried with amazon or the likes but I know that SAP validates the uniqueness of credit cards.
    I found 6 code line where the message (V/)005 "Payment card &1 &2 is already assigned to customer &3" prohibits duplicate assignment.
    Even if I create a couple of enhancements to suppress the error, I don't know how the system will work.
    The customer does not like the idea of using alternative payer.
    Did you ever face the same problem and how did you solve it?
    Much Thanks in advance
    Best regards
    Clemens

  • How to use the functionality of Simulation for the Transaction MIRO

    Hi Group,
    I have a requirement to call SAP from MS Excel and check for the SImulation option as under:
    The Excel will pass the values of Invoice Number, Posting date, PO number, PO Item number, Company code and etc., through the call of BAPI   -   'BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_CREATE'  in order to create Invoice in the SAP system.
    But the above BAPI is creating the Invoices in SAP system. Rather, I need to just check(thru SIMULATION) the records and come back to MS Excel with the MIRO numbers that will be created and the errror messages that will be returned back.
    In summary, I have to add two Buttons as:
       POST : this has to create MIRO(invoice Numbers) in the SAP System(populating the Success/Error Messages by calling
                   the above BAPI   -  This functionality is working fine now
       SIMULATE: this has to do  same functionality of "POST" option but should not create MIROs in the SAP system
                          Currently I am not able to achieve this as the above BAPI is creating MIROs in SAP.
    Kindly provide your inputs on how to go about incorporating the above SIMULATION functionality, by giving some simulation BAPIs that can be used for my functionality.
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Regards,
    Vishnu.

    Hi Group,
    In continuation to my previous posting, I would like to give more inputs as under:
    when I was using the BAPI - BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_CREATE (unless I commit the transaction), MIRO would not be created in the system.
    Now, when I run the BAPI again with a different set of data, the Invoice Number is getting incremented by one.... this I dont need, if the Invoice is not committed and if I run the next time, I need to get the same Invoice Number....
    How can I achieve this task?
    Kindly let me know your inputs on this.
    Regards,
    Vishnu.

  • How to use the same Windows-Profile for over 700 Users?

    Dear admins,
    i´d like to use one (1!) shared windows profile to serv over 700 user-accounts in our school. But there is a little complication in the WGM.
    I just tried to check all users and entered the path of the shared profile right in the windows tab.
    For example \\Server\Profiles\oneforallprofile
    Unfortunately the WGM put the user´s shortname behind this path.
    For example: \\Server\Profiles\oneforallprofile\mistersmith
    or \\Server\Profiles\oneforallprofile\sallymiller and so on.
    By changing this preference one by one it works, but of course i need a solution to do that for all users.
    Does anyone know how to set one Profile for all students?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hello Prasad,
    Most likely the user km_admin still has system principal roles assigned, even though you removed the Super Admin role, you should check that this user doesn't have any other admin roles, otherwise it will be considered a System Principal user and will therefore still have access to all content. For more information see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/19/56f28fbd4e11d5993b00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm
    Try creating a new user with just read access to the content and you should see that it will not be able to make any changes etc.

    use FW800 if you don't have a SATA host adapter.
    I'm not trying to be cheap here. As I said, I have no PCI slots available. I use Pro Tools HD3 & all my slots are full. I will use FW800 if needed, but speed of SATA would be great.
    WiebeTech has a $59 SATA card with one port or

  • How to use the same variable value for data entry and the planning sequence

    Hi,
    the scenario is the following:
    Using the WAD template a user enters cost center plan data. The cost center is selected by the chosen value for the variable "V1".
    Afterwards he shall push a button which starts a planning sequence (including saving the data and further functions). This planning sequence uses a filter that also contains the variable "V1".
    What or where has it to be defined that the planning sequence uses automatically the same value for the variable "V1" as selected for the data entry?

    You have to define in the planning function. The planning sequence is only a sequence and it read the planning functions underneath it.
