PLEASE HELP!!! disk space is low message

i received a disk space is low message as i am working in my lightroom 5. i keep clicking ok and it does not let me get out of this screen. it is telling me i need to remove files or empty trash to make space. do i need to make space in lightroom or on my hard drive? please help, i have had this issue before.

25% seems pretty arbitrary and unreasonable.
With today's drive that means on a 2TB drive I need to keep 1/2 TB free. That means I am paying for 2TB with only 1.5 usable just to use LR. In my case where I have four 2TB drive I have to have 2TB free or equivalently have an entire drives worth of space (4*500M) I should not be using.
Even given that was true I get a similar message and it states I do not have at least 20M free on the drive where my catalog is. The drive where my catalog is has 800M+ of a 2TB drive free (exceeding the 25% rule).
And if you are talking about just the "C:" or "root" drive then I have a 250G drive with over 180M free. And neither my catalog or my pictures are on it.
Still looking for an answer.
It is very annoying to be in the middle of an edit and have the message pop up and stop the edit. Then you have to clear the message, undo the incomplete edit and start over hoping the message does not come back.
Any additional suggestions?

Receiving an automatic notification from Windows Server when disk space is low

Hello,<o:p></o:p>
Does Windows Server 2012 R2 have any such functionality built-in to enable monitoring of disk space?
We have an old VB Script file that sends me an email when disk space gets low.
Also, the following post discusses the topic regarding Windows Server 2008:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/c9878861-6ba5-4d3b-b6b0-6e4b33c41853/notification-when-low-disk-space?forum=windowsserver2008r2management
I was wondering if there was any change regarding this in
Windows Server 2012 R2 .
Many thanks.<o:p></o:p>

Hi,
Windows Server 2012 stays the same on that topic, you still need some kind of monitoring on your disk space.
If you don't have a monitoring solution, like for example SCOM, you can for example with powershell do what you earlier did in VB script. Either you have a scheduled task that runs as often as you'd like, or you can utilize something called WMI eventing
to trigger on an event 'disk low' but thats a bit more complicated.
See below examples on some example scripts that you could use.

"Available disk space running low. Shuttting down session."

I've been running into problems on a few machines that I have installed e-Load on. When I start the stress test, I get into a few iterations and then suddenly, the test will stop running and I get the following message:
"Available disk space running low. Shutting down session."
Questions:
1.) What space is it referring to? The local machine or where the scripts are stored?
I can't seem to figure it out. The machines have more than enough space where e-Load is installed, over 10 Gigs free.
The scripts (repository) is on a shared network drive and that has 17 GB where the results are written to. Is there something I am missing?

MacBook Pro becomes has spotlight problems when disk space gets low

I've noticed that when my disk space gets very low, that mds starts running all of the time bringing my laptops's performance to a crawl. I've also noticed that oddly, when I try to use spotlight for a full text search (not just from/to/subject searches) in Mail, that spotlight seems to start re-indexing immediately.
Specifically:
1) I go to mail and start a search in spotligh
2) the "message body" option is available for me to search through the entire message body
3) I select "message body" for my search, but spotlight finds no results (even though there are some)
4) the next search I do in Mail via spotlight now shows "message body" as greyed out
5) mds and associated processes suddenly start running and my mac becomes very slow
6) after some number of hours, mds stops and "message body" becomes available in Mail again for searches, but as soon as I try to use it this process repeats
I had about 10 gigs free on my disk, but after freeing up about 30 gigs this all stopped and spotlight started working again fine.

This emphasises the old guideline of having not more than about 80% of disk space used for best performance on any computer. If in doubt about which hdd to buy get the largest you can afford - probably the next size up from that!

Disk space running low... but not really.

I installed Arch on a 150Gb HD lately and I'm experiencing a pretty annoying thing regarding available space on the drive.
Here is some info:
fdisk
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 13 104422 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 14 79 530145 82 Linux swap / Solaris

ncdu

! 4.0kiB /root
. 0.0 B /proc
0.0 B /sys
0.0 B /srv
e 0.0 B /mnt
e 0.0 B /opt
Everything looks good so far and I should have plenty of space left on the device to play with. But using Thunar in xfce I am told that I have only 350Mb free. This is confirmed by the df command and I can see that I have a huge kcore in /proc.
df
/dev/sda3 7655940 7267696 388244 95% /
udev 10240 164 10076 2% /dev

ll /proc
-r-------- 1 root root 1065349120 Mar 6 13:08 kcore
Now, I understand that the kcore file is a virtual file that really doesn't affect my available space. But yet, it does affect how eg Thunar operates as it doesn't let me use the gigabytes of free space that I should have available.
I like the simple partition layout that I'm using, but is there some way to let the system ignore kcore and show the correct available space? Or am I forced to reinstall and use another partition scheme and work around the kcore size?
Usually I use ext2/3 but this time I thought I'd try jfs. Can that have something to do with this fenomenon? I have never seen this before...

Hi,
“However the disk space on 'D' is running low everyday.”
Base on my experience, it most possible is your application cache full the disk space, or you have configured the unsuitable VSS back up schedule.

Disk space running low

Hello all;
I have disk 0 of 136GB and it is partioned to 'C' 60 GB and 'D' 76GB. However the disk space on 'D' is running low everyday. There is apache webserver running however it is only 45gb and rest of the files are around 10gb. I was wondering where is the rest
20gb? 'D' drie is showing 700mb free Also I cleared some log files from apache and reduced 45gb to 25gb. Hence 'D' showed 18gb free. But today it is showing 1.64gb free.. I have no idea what is going on.

Disk space is low in drive

Dear all,
In our IDES system it is indicating low disk space in SAP installed drive.
In that drive it contains SIDDATA1, SIDDATA2, SIDDATA3 and SIDLOG1 contents.
Our OS is Server2003 and DB is mssql 2000. I had tried shrinking the files in MSSQL level but it is not working for me. Still it is in Low disk space. Is there any way to delete the log files or any data archiving possible.
Is that we can delete the log files in SAP level.
Kindly guide me .
Thanks and regards,
Rakesh

Dear Rakesh,
First of all, what is the harddisk capacity of the machine in which IDES is installed?
In that drive it contains SIDDATA1, SIDDATA2, SIDDATA3 and SIDLOG1 contents.
Which are the directories which take space? if its SIDDATA1, SIDDATA2, SIDDATA3, you cannot reduce that. But if its SIDLOG1, you can.
Is there any way to delete the log files or any data archiving possible.
You can actually delete the old log files from usr/sap/<SID>/<INSTANCE>/work directory. But thats not going to help much. you can archive the log files through SQL enterprise manager and shrink the log files.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Jazz

Please help, unknown space taken up!!!!

My dad bought a 3000 n100 lenovo computer a while back, he ended up taking the show computer off of the shelf becuase they offered him a good deal. He never noticed that around 80-90 GB of 106 GB was taken up on the computer. The computer is mine now and I am absolutely confused. I have hardly any files on the computer at all, and throughout all of my files none of them are large enough to take up that much space. Someone please help, it makes no sense how all of this space could be taken up!!!

What operating system?
Space may be taken by Lenovo backup files or Windows
System Restore.
Also in Vista Shadowstorage may take alot of space,
but not permanently, it gives it back as you need it.

PLEASE HELP - Unable to restore all messages from my backup file (.bbb) - 21800 messages and I need them all

Hi.
This is not the first time I encountered this issue. The backup file itself is 18.5MB in size. The critical stuff is my 21800 messages (emails for 7 different email accounts). Whenever I do a restore, the DM only reads 13859 messages and unfortunately not in reverse order. So I end up with no emails for the last 7 months! BIG PROBLEM for me! I have done a selective restore. I have done a complete wipe and then a full restore (no success), then deleted all data and tried a selective restore and only selected the messages (still only around 13,500 messages).
There appears to be a limitation around the 13500 mark for messages.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE help.

It's been a while since I used Apple's Backup, but you should be able to select "Restore" from within the app to find an iCal backup file. When you find your most recent backup file restore it to your main computer. An iCal backup should look like this: "iCal - 10/31/06.icbu". Once you have the file you can just double click on it and iCal will open and give a warning about overwriting your current database file. You can just select "Revert" to overwrite the current file since you have nothing in it now. Everything should then go back to the state it was in since your last backup. You might lose some of your most recent entries if they were not in the backup, but you should get back most of what you lost. Good Luck!!

Please help I lost all my messages from E71

Bridge Freezing, Not Displaying Thumbnails, Says Disk Space is Low and to Purge Cache

Hello,
I'm working in Bridge CS5 on a Mac 0S X version 10.9.2. I have 12 GB of RAM and the server has 240 TB capacity, 76.69 available.
Recently I've received the following error message while processing large photo shoots with both DNG and JPEG files: Bridge is running low on memory. It is recommended that Bridge is restarted.
I have also been manually caching large photo shoots and my cache preferences were set to Keep 100% Preview In Cache and Automatically Export Cache To Folder When Possible. My cache size was set to 500,000. Yesterday, Bridge started to freeze while attempting to open folders. The wheel would spin at the bottom with the message Compiling Criteria. The only way to close Bridge was a Force Quit. This happened several times.
Today, image thumbnails will no longer display, only the DNG/JPEG icons. I received the following error message:
I have tried restarting Bridge while holding the alt/Option key to reset the preferences and checking all three boxes - no luck. I have done the same thing with the boxes unchecked - no luck. I have tried manually purging the cache from its location in the library - no luck. I have tried resetting the cache preferences from the toolbar - no luck. I have tried deleting the cache files from the folders - nothing changes. I have tried purging the cache for each folder from the tool bar - nothing happens.
I need to restore the thumbnails and rebuild the cache for each folder. Does anybody have an idea what is wrong or how to help?
Many Thanks!

Okay, so I have a solution. If after purging the central cache on the server Bridge continues to not perform normally try emptying the trash. I did this and it worked.

Please help me to troubleshoot this message:

"The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software."
I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but here's the background in case someone can help me.
I am a new user. I received a mini iPod for Father's Day.
I started by simply transferring my CD collection to my iPod. The other day I browsed iTunes for the first time, with a view toward buying songs to add to my iPod. I noticed that there was a new version of iTunes available (6.0), so I installed it over the previous version I had on my computer. Then I selected a bunch of songs and placed them in my shopping cart. Smooth sailing. The problem came when I connected my iPod with the intention of purchasing the songs and putting them on my iPod. iTunes did not seem to recognize that my iPod was plugged in. I got a pop-up with the message quoted above. I'm not sure what to do next. Whatever I have tried has not worked. I reinstalled iTunes several times, to no avail. I'm afraid to do too much trial and error, because I have heard the horror stories of people doing the wrong thing and losing their songs.

Hi David and welcome to Apple Discussions.
XP's Fast User Switching feature can give you this error, as it doesn't play well with iTunes. If you're using it, try disabling it and see if the message reoccurs. Go to Start/Control Panel/User Accounts then 'Change the way users log on and off' and remove the checkmark from Fast User Switching.
Fast User Switching in Windows XP is not supported
If you're not using Fast User Switching, try uninstalling iTunes, following the below instructions, then reinstall.
