No free space on disk slice - and throwing I/O error

Hi,
In one of my LDOMs, one slice is full. - unfortuantely that has the Oracle binaries
+/dev/dsk/c0d2s3 9.8G 9.8G 0K 100% /ora00+
But if do an ls on the slice , it is throwing I/O Error
ldg2#cd /ora00
ldg2#ls
+.: I/O error+
ldg2#
On the same disk , all other different slices are working fine.
How wil i recover from this ?

What is the filesystem on c0d2s3? ufs?
What is the backend of the vdisk? Is it a physical disk, a file?
Can you provide the output of the command "prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0d2s2"
You can try to unmount the partition, then re-mount it. Also try to mount the partition read-only.

Erased free space in Disk Utility, and after it finished it kept a DMG there.

I erased free space in Disk Utility, and after it finished it kept a DMG there called "DeveloperDiskImage.dmg", why is it left behind? can it be deleted? how? if erasing free space is supposed to help get memory and remove all the files truly, it shouldnt be creating anything, it created a DMG at the start, but it went away, after a hour and a half it made the DeveloperDiskImage, i went to eat dinner and when i came back it was done but that was left.

Delete it. Erasing the free space isn't supposed to free up any space; it's there in case someone deleted a file insecurely when they meant to securely delete it.

Start up and shut down is slow after erasing free space using disk utility?

I went to Disk Utility, clicked Erase, and then "Erase Free Space." When I saw that it was going to take 1 hour and 30 minutes, I tried closing disk utility. It wouldn't let me exit, so instead I pressed "Skip." But when you hover over the "Skip" button it says, "Erase all data and reformat the disk."
I'm wondering if the fact that I pressed the skip button has anything to do with my computer shutting down/starting up A LOT slower now. If so, what can I do to fix it?
Thanks!

Just wanted to give an update. I called Apple and apparently, you shouldn't empty the free space using disk utility while you're logged in. I had to insert the Installations CD and press the "C" button while my computer restarted, and used Disk Utility from there. My start up and shut down speed still isn't exactly the way it was before, but this definitely made a difference.
Thank you to those who replied to my question!

Less and less free space in disk everyday!?

A few days ago I noticed that my free space in disk was going down with no apparent reason... yesterday I woke up and discovered that my free space in disk was... 0kb! doing nothing different, nor downloading stuff or so...
I 've been searching all day long for a reason and discovered some files in /private/var/log/DiagnosticMessages/ that apparently went nuts (2, 5 & 6 Gib logfiles?):
!http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/5405/capturadepantalla200909.png!
Does anyone know something about?

If you haven't already - try a shutting it down rather than putting it to sleep.
I've been experiencing exactly the same thing. I was excited when Leopard gave me an additional 11gb of free space - but then it started shrinking.
For the last 5 days, EVERYTIME I turn my computer on it says "Zero MB available". Each day I've had to clear between 1-2gb a day to allow myself to do the most basic of tasks.
I reckon it's a problem with the swap files. I just "Shut Down" my computer and on a restart gained 12gb back.
I'd be interested to know if this works for you.

Time Capsule full after a "Erase Free Space" using Disk Utility

Hello,
I am facing some issues related to my Time Capsule.
Reviewing my past, I had a lot of backups on this, using Time Machine and it always worked pretty well. But after deleting some backups manually to reclaim disk space, this was not exactly freeing it.
Searching in the forum here, I saw that I could mount the backup sparsebundle image and map it into the Disk Utility. This always worked greatly too both for disk checking and reclaiming the space back.
The problem starts on the last Friday when I performed the operation again, but it started using the whole free space that I had and did not give it back.
Studying the case I found that it creates a temporary folder to store the file it creates to write the byte 0 on the disk. This file actually resides in the sparsebundle image and therefore I can see the file with 200GB, for example, in the Finder, this is a split in bands (8MB) just like the backup is. After the disk gets full, the Disk Utility should delete the file properly and give me back the space safely.
Right now my Time Capsule has 0 byte free and I can't do anything on it beyond redo the the Erase Free Space operation. When I do it, it starts writing the temporary file again and the problem repeats itself.
I know that if I backup the data and really erase the disk, I'll get it back, but this is not an option for me because I want a smart solution for this.
The only thing that changed between when it worked and now is the 10.5.6 update that I made and I'd like that it's not the root of the issue.
Is there any suggestion or general stuff I could do to fix it?
Did anybody already face the same issue?
If anyone needs more details to help me out of this, just let me know.
Thanks and regards,
Eduardo

Just another thing to add, I'd like a good solution for this as the redo operation from Disk Utility takes around 2 days and then it just "dies".

How SMON coalesces free space in oracle 9i and 10g

how SMON coalesces free space in oracle 9i and 10g?
Is it doing same as it was behaving in oracle 7 like looking through free extent table every five minutes (sys.fet$) to see if there are any adjacent free extents that can be coalesced into a single extent, and on every 25th cycle (i.e. every two hours and five minutes) it looks at the segment table (sys.seg$) to see if there are any temporary segments that need to be eliminated, as explained by jonathan lewis?
what are extent and segment tables available in oracle 9i and 10g like sys.fet$ and sys.seg$ in oracle7?

Clicked erase free space in disk utility, now I have no SPACE!

I ran erase free space in disk utility in hopes of freeing up more room on my hard drive, and had 34 GB free, but now it says zero kb available. I have never done this before. It still has twelve hours to go, and I was wondering if this was normal.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7) White 2 Ghz.

Doing so does not free up any hard drive space.

You might see a message saying that you are running out of disk space, but you can ignore that warning. When this operation is complete, you will have the same amount of free space as you did when it started.

Error: There is insufficient free space on disk volume

Hello All,
I am trying to add Appset and getting this error:
Error message:There is insufficient free space on disk volume 'E:\' to create the database. The database requires XXXXX additional free bytes, while only yyyyy bytes are available.
My question is :
Why I get this message although I didn't check the data or any other option when trying to copy my production AppSet?
XXXX required is the size of my production AppSet DB.
Can anyone please help?
Best regards,
Mahmoud

Hi Santosh,
Thanks for your answer.
I am sorry I don't understand well what did you mean.
What I wanted to say is that DataBase creation failed so AppSet copy has failed and this is due to lack of disk space as mentioned in the error message.
If this would be clearer my question would be :
- What is the minimum free disk space needed to create an "empty" AppSet? Empty means no options checked in the copy Appset wizard.
FYI: I use BPC 7.0 SP8 SQLServer 2008
Thank you for your help.
Best Regards
Mahmoud

Can't partition free space using Disk Utility

So something went wrong when I tried to bootcamp.
Now the situation is following:
1) I can't install Windows using USB stick, it says that the free space is in GPT;
2) I can't partition the free space with Disk Utility, tryied it also with recovery mode, the apply button is clickable and active, but it does nothing, it just stays like so and when I exit from Disk Utility it asks if I want to quit without applying but it doesn't work.
So basically I have wasted 20GB of space and can't do anything with it.
I don't want to format the hole disk, are there any other workarounds without need to reinstall OSX?
I have MacBook Pro 13" Retina (late 2013), 128GB SSD, 8GB ram.

Difference between free space on disk and column FREE_MB in V$ASM_DISKGROUP

Hi ,
in our RAC environment we have setup an ACFS. We use that mainly for RMAN backups. When connecting to the ASM instance and executing the query
Select name, state, total_mb, free_mb from v$asm_diskgroup;
we are getting the following result:
NAME STATE TOTAL_MB FREE_MB
DG00_CRS MOUNTED 10738 9912
DG01_FR MOUNTED 409592 360173
DG02_DATA MOUNTED 6553568 1628732
DG03_BACKUP MOUNTED 5615920 4227
Seems to me that the ASM instance believes that the amount of frees space in diskgroup DG03_BACKUP is 4227 MB. Butr when checking on
operatingsystem level, the result looks different:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/asm/v03_backup-33
5746196480 2430545120 3315651360 43% /u01/app/oracle/orabackup
=> As a matter of fact, we have about 3,3 TB free space available. Should that result not be shown when running the query above? I currently
don't have a clue why the query returns 4227 MB...
Any help will be appreciated...

ACFS is a 11.2 feature, while ASM existed long before
ASM will consider such volumes as used space when querying V$ASM_DISKGROUP, or issuing lsdg in asmcmd
you can use the views V$ASM_ACFSVOLUMES and V$ASM_FILESYSTEM for ACFS
or volinfo in asmcmd

I thought I was creating free space by erasing free space using disk utility but what I really did was literally ERASE MY FREE SPACE on my Macbook Pro 10.8.4 and all I want to know is what to do to recover my free space?

When I click on ABOUT THIS MAC and then on STORAGE it shows that I have like 700 gb of "OTHER" in yellow and all I want is for the yellow to disappear and have all my free space again! please someone help me
<Edited by Host>

Your free space hasn't gone anywhere. This is simply the initial result of the process. However, your free space should be there once you need to use it.

Size of free space root disk

Hi
I try to obtain the free space disk of c:\ (under windows NT). I use the class File but i obtain a size of 0 for the drive C:\
I use :
private static boolean estSuperieurAuSeuil(String disque, long seuil) {
File lecteur = new File("c:\");
//File lecteur = new File(disque);
long volumeOccupe = lecteur.length();
     if (volumeOccupe >seuil) {
     return true;
     } else {
     return false;
but volumeOccupe is always equals to 0
Anyone can help me !
Thanks
}

Why don't you implement your own code to calculate the full size of the disk?
Windows system itself does a recursive count.
(Which makes the request for a bug not founded since everytime you ask for the size, you would have to wait until the count is done.)
you could do this :
public long diskSize(File root) {
if(root != null && root.isDirectory()) {
File[] fs = root.listFiles();
long ret = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < fs.length; i++) {
ret += diskSize(fs);
} else {
return root.getSize();
and then call it with diskSize("c:\");
Hopes this helps

Greyed Out "Free Space" in Disk Utility

Hi
I have a problem with my main Logical Volume Group / Partition. So My main Logical Volume Group (Macintosh HD) was separated into 2 partitions. I decided to delete the second one, and once the process started in Disk Utility, it crashed. Now if I look at the Logical Volume Group, it is separated in two, first one being Macintosh HD, and the second one is greyed out and is "Free Space".
Now If I look at the info of my Logical Volume Groupe, it says "Capacity 853,07 GB / Available 115 KB" when in actuality I have a 1TB fusion Drive, If I look at the Macintosh HD PARTITION, it says "Capacity 844,56GB / Available 252.99GB" which evidently doesn't add up. The "Free Space" is supposedly 267,78GB...
I tried "filling" that free space with a new partition, but when I apply the changes to the partition layout, nothing happens, and it reverts back to being greyed out and empty. (I tried both in Disk Utility, and in Disk Utility while in Recovery Mode, and I've also Repaired the volume and the partition)
How can I either force-create a partition with that free space, so that I can use all of my actual HDD space, or completely erase that "Free Space" and have my Macintosh HD partition fill the whole Logical Volume Group. (I tried erasing the free space of the Macintosh HD volume, but it didn't change anything.
Hopefully, there is a way to do it without having to back up my whole Macintosh HD partition, and reformatting my whole computer...
Thanks

If you wish to delete data, the best option would be to encrypt everything on the drive (locking everything with a password) and then erasing the drive. This would atleast scramble the left over data. The problem is that SSDs have a wear controlling firmware that distribute the load accordingly, so the entire drive wears evenly. Secure erase wouldnt work since secure erase works by first erasing the refrences to the data, and then writing 0s over the left over data. Since the firmware distributes the load differently each time, there is no guarantee that the data would be covered in 0s.

Finder reports different free space on disk compared to DiskUtil

After upgrading to Lion I am facing a very strange problem:
Finder reports much more free space on my Macintosh HD compared to Disk Utility. I also take a look on what Daisy Disk reports and
daisy Disk reports exactly the same numbers like Disk Utility. Booted into Lion recovery partitions and preformed disk verify and repair.
Everything seems to be fine except that finder reports significantly more free space (350 GB) compared to Disk Utility (364 GB).
Any advise ?

Trash is empty. Checked this also via Terminal. And one more comment: I do not have a Bootcamp partition. I never had one and never created one.

System Won't Reboot Proper After Running "Erase Free Space" in Disk Utility

Thought I'd run it to see what happened.
On an 80gb HD with 35gb free, I was told I was running out of free space partway through the erase, program then quit. Kept system going for about two days without problems, then shut it down for a day. When I rebooted a few hours ago, it seemed to take forever to do so, followed by a dim perpetual blue screen which I couldn't brighten via the keyboard. Waited 20 minutes for screen to resolve into my desktop; alas, no such luck. Rebooted a few times, no change.
17 pB @ 1.33ghz & 1.5gb RAM Mac OS X (10.4.7)

One of the first things I tried: no effect.
Booted on the MacOS X CD and ran disk utility and it found errors, fixed them, rebooted from the hard drive and now I get a perpetual grey screen with the li'l rotater. Zapping doesn't do anything this time either.
