How To Access Disk Usage Graphic

A little while ago I stumbled upon a multi-colored, horizontal, single line graphic  divided into sections, which showed disk usage, each section and color representing a different type of data. This was not the Activity Monitor, which has a pie chart for usage, but does not identify the type of data using the disk space. Neither does this appear in neither Disk Utility nor System Profiler. A day or so ago, in a thread in the Lion community, I saw a screen shot of this graph. This lead me to look for this graphic again, but I have been unable to find a way to access it.
Can anyone lad me to it, please? Thanks.

Not exactly sure which utility you are refrring to by that description (a picture would have helped).  So below is a sampling of possible utilities. These links are all macupdate.com links so there are related utilities listed on the pages.  If none of the ones I list are exactly what you are after perhaps one of the related utilities is.

  • How to find disk usage by application

    Using the Activity Monitor, I can see that something is making an excessive number of disk IO's and generally slowing the system down.
    Is there some way I can see the disk IO on a per-process bases (the same as I can see the CPU usage for each process)?
    Thanks
    Susan

    That does not seem to be it - the process that shows up by far the most messages being sent and received is 'kernel task'.
    I think I have tracked down the problem that I was seeking this information to solve (does that make sense?). I have been doing quite a bit of software development, some of it involving installing quite large packages. As these were being installed Spotlight was going crazy trying to index them all and causing the system to slow down because of all the directory lookups etc, it was doing.
    At least that is my theory and stopping Spotlight's indexing (I have never used Spotlight anyway - it never seems to find what I'm after) I have not seem the performance hit I was seeing before.
    On the other hand, I would still like to know how to monitor disk IOs on a per-process basis for the future.
    Thanks

  • How to increase Disk usage reported in Resource Monitor

    Hi,
    I wonder how I can increase Disk usage reported in the Resource Monitor. When I use the 7200 Hard drive or SSD, the max usage is 1Gb/sec.
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi,
    As I understand, you want to increase the size of the root partition (where you installed Solaris) which resides in c1t0d0s0. I think it can be done using Concatenations from Solaris Volume Manager (SVM).
    I have tried it in non root partition like /export/home and it is very easy.
    metainit -f d0 2 1 c1t0d0s7 1 c2t0d0s7 //this will create volume d0 as a concatenation
    growfs -M /export/home /dev/md/rdsk/d0 //this will grow the /export/home partition
    Regards,

  • How can I measure the Graphics Card usage? I.e. percent load

    Hello,
    How can I measure the Graphics Card usage, like with the processor in Task Manager, but instead giving a percentage usage for the graphics card instead? Is there an easy way to do this, or would it require a lot of code? Is it even possible?

    Ah, so It's unlikely that Java3D will include anything for reading this data then? I was really aiming at measuring the GPU usage under this API which although i have limited knowledge using, I do at least have some knowledge - I wouldn't have a clue how to access any other API's!
    I'm using an NVidia TNT2 card at the moment, which is quite old.

  • How do I access Disk Utility for 10.7.1?

    How do I access Disk Utility for 10.7.1? I found it in the forums a few weeks ago, used it, then lost the directions. This is a last ditch attempt
    to use OS Lion. I parted my hair incorrectly when I installed and have been plagued by the dread rainbow spinning ball in EVERY application. Yes, every. Name one, Safari, Firefox, Text Edit, Mail, Excel, Word, iTunes, Garage Band, Calculator, Calender, iPhoto....yes, every, and I cannot
    find a solution that works. I have back up files on two different hard drives 500 gig and 1 terrabyte with all my music, photo and writing files.
    I am a writer and a musician so imagine the frustration. OS 10.6 is an option of course. My dedication to Apple and each new OS is deep so
    I am hoping that somehow there will a fix, an upgrade, something that does not require me to go bac to the much more endangered species named OS.
    hahhaa! Just stalled waiting for the ball to finish with it's random spinning.... SO, this is like a last desperate .... it just did two more stalls.
    NO OTHER apps running, just little Firefox holding on for dear life, last desperate request for a fix.
    MacKeeper has been great in sending helpful directions for getting the Antivirus to work after it mysteriously decided to stop working, Quite MacKeeper,  go to Activity Monitor, force quit helper, start up MacKeeper and run program. It works!
    SO before my third stall stops me, please post directions to open disk utility in administration mode so that I can do any further repairs that have not worked by using it from the open system. Also keychain synching stopped working with Lion.
    Thanks to any and all who can help.

    Press and hold Command-R keys and reboot. You'll then start up in the Lion Recovery HD. You'll find Disk Utility there.
    Command-R to the rescue.
    Just hold down Command-R during startup and Lion Recovery springs into action. It lets you choose from common utilities: You can run Disk Utility to check or repair your hard drive, erase your hard drive and reinstall a fresh copy of Lion, or restore your Mac from a Time Machine backup. You can even use Safari to get help from Apple Support online. And if Lion Recovery encounters problems, it will automatically connect to Apple over the Internet.

  • I used a partitioned HDD for time machine, using a partition already containing other data files. I am now no longer able to view that partition in Finder. Disk Utility shows it in grey and "not mounted". Any suggestions of how to access the files?

Disk Utility shows it in grey and "not mounted". Any suggestions of how to access the files? Does using time machine mean that that partition is no longer able to be used as it used to be?
    HDD is a Toshiba 1TB, partitioned into two 500GB partitions.

    Yes, sharing a TM disk is a bad idea, and disks are cheap enough so that you don't need to.
    Now
    Have you tried to repair the disk yet

  • How to obtain Disk capacities/usage?

    I've been rooting around online all day trying to figure out how to gauge the usage of my disk drive. There doesn't seem to be any API for this?? Oh, BTW, this is an application, not an Applet, so security concerns do not apply!
    I'd hate to resort to JNI, because this would make my code non-portable, a serious flaw in my mind.
    Does anyone have any experience with this??

    You're right. There is no API for that. So you have to do something platform-specific, although you could get away with Runtime.getRuntime().exec() instead of having to use JNI.
    (Don't you hate it when the documentation doesn't mention things the product can't do?)

  • How to access removable disks?

    I'm new on Elements and seem to stumble in the first round. I use  several extern datadisks (for photo's, audio etc.) via USB - how can I import photo's and other stuff from these? No other program but Elements has a problem with that...

    Thank you for your fast response!... From my side I should have supplied more info. My working horse  is an eMac with for all possible data (photos, audio, backup etc) extern (USB 2) drives attached. These drives are formatted with MacOS (journalled) or FAT32. The OS is Mavericks with Elements 12. When trying to import files - 'Photos from cameras or devices' - it says under 'Source' just 'No device found' whatever I try. However after several tries it now seems to work with Organizer. And so I take it from there...

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and what computer operating system is it running?
    For now, I will asssume Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    If you have video storage on an USB 2 or 3 external hard drive and you want to use any of it in a Premiere Elements project, you should be able to use Premiere Elements Add Media/Files and Folders to navigate to the external hard drive and import the file(s) into the project. What is happening in your case to give you problems?
    Is the external hard drive USB 2 or 3, is the drive letter staying constant, and is the external hard drive formatted NTFS if you are working on Windows? If Mac, what format is your external hard drive?
    Or do you have your media stored on a USB 2 or 3 Flash Drive or DVD disc...if so, then you would use Add Media/"Videos from Flip or Camera"/Video Importer after you insert your USB Flash Drive into a USB port or place the DVD disc in the burner tray.
    Please review and consider, supply details, and then we shall work on resolving whatever Premiere Elements workflow problems that you are having.
    Thanks.

  • How do I calculate disk usage for a table

    Is there a formula or equation that I can use to calculate disk usage (in MB) for a table?
    I would like to foind out what's the best option for initial storage space and monthly growth.

    Hi,
    We will discuss this by taking a simple example:
    SQL>Create table T_REGISTRATION (Name varchar2 (100),
    Fathers_Name varchar2 (100),
    Age number(5),
    Sex char (1),
    Data_of_Birth Date)
    storage (initial 40k next 40k minextents 5)
    Tablespace TBS1;
    Table created.
    SQL> insert into T_REGISTRATION values ('Name_1','Name_1_Father',40,'M','24-FEB-66');
    1 row created.
    SQL> Commit;
    Commit complete
    SQL> analyze table T_REGISTRATION compute statistics;
    Table analyzed.
    SQL> compute sum of blocks on report
    SQL> break on report
    SQL> select extent_id, bytes, blocks
    from user_extents
    where segment_name = 'T_REGISTRATION'
    and segment_type = 'TABLE';
    EXTENT_ID BYTES BLOCKS
    0 65536 8
    1 65536 8
    2 65536 8
    3 65536 8
    Sum 32
    SQL> clear breaks
    SQL> select blocks, empty_blocks,
    avg_space, num_freelist_blocks
    from user_tables
    where table_name = 'T_REGISTRATION';
    BLOCKS EMPTY_BLOCKS AVG_SPACE NUM_FREELIST_BLOCKS
    5 27 8064 0
    From above:-
    1.     We have 32(Sum) blocks allocated to the table
    2.     27 blocks are totally empty
    3.     5 blocks contains data(BLOCKS+EMPTY_BLOCKS = SUM i.e 5+27=32)
    4.     We have an average of about 8064 bytes = 7.8 free on each block used (8064/1024=7.8K From above AVG_SPACE value).
    Therefore our table
    1.     Consumes 5 blocks
    2.     In this 5blocks * 8k blocksize - 5 blocks * 7.8K free = 1k is used for inserted data.

  • Ntoskrnl.exe 100% disk usage windows 8.0 and 8.1

    This is a bug report. I hope Microsoft will take it seriously as it took me a whole day and much stress to track it down. Basically my problem was the same as this: http://slopjong.de/2013/04/23/extremely-high-disk-activity-with-windows-8-and-how-to-fix-it/
    However in the graphic on this site it appears to show that Virtualbox is the culprit. However this is unlikely to be the case, as the author of the site fixed his problem by following his own advice. This is an extremely common problem as this Google search
    indicates:
    https://www.google.co.uk/#q=ntoskrnl.exe+100+disk+usage+windows+8
    To attempt to address my own problem first I disabled all non-microsoft services in Windows 8.1 professional. When this had no effect on the problem, I then disabled all non-essential Microsoft services. In turn. when this has no effect I disabled all user
    installed start-up items. Again when this failed to have an impact, I changed my browser from Firefox to Google Chrome, as I noted that the extremely high disk utilisation was at it's worst when using Firefox. This also had no effect.
    I then tried a variation of my search on Google "ntoskrnl.exe 100 disk usage windows 8" (I can't remember the exact variation) and stumbled over the above site at the beginning of this message. I had by that point tried everything that was in my power
    to try. But I noted from this article that the author recommended changing the power plan from 'balanced', to 'high performance'. Since I had   exhausted every other avenue, I decided to try this and like magic, instantly it worked. So there is clearly
    a bug in Windows 8.1 (and 8 prior to this) that causes 100% disk utilisation. I thought someone at MS might like to know about it and come up with a way to fix it.
    Below is my system configuration. Please note this system configuration may contain a number of errors, as it was generated with several non-essential Microsoft services disabled. I do not believe these issues need to be addressed. However the issue of 100%
    disk utilisation when using a 'balanced' power plan on Windows 8.1 (and 8.0) almost certainly does.
    PS
    This message board system will not allow me to post my full system configuration. MS need a better bug reporting system! Apple allow the public to submit bug reports, so why not Microsoft too. The public can find useful bugs!
