Qfs minimum partition/disk size requirement

I just want to know the minimal requirement of the disk/partition size to create qfs file system?
As qfs separates metadata devices from data devices, what is the minimum size for both to create qfs?
There could be some determination way like creating shortest partitions (in KB’s?) and use them to create qfs.
Please revert with some pointers.

It sounds like people are having different experiences with this issue, here's mine:
When trying to resize partitions without reformatting first, dragging the partition corners worked but didn't allow me to make the second partition smaller than 1/10th the size of the drive. If I used the "size" field to change the second partition, it would reduce, but the first (main) partition would not fill up the rest of the space. If I subsequently tried to change the size of the main partition using either the "size" field or the drag method, it would automatically revert to its previous size.
I decided to go ahead and reformat the drive, after which I was able to create two partitions and resize them freely. I still found that when reducing the size of the second volume, the first did not resize to fill the drive automatically. However, this time I was able to drag the corner of the first volume, increasing its size to fill the drive. Thanks again for your help.

Disk size requirement

Hello,
I'm planning the installation of an SDS. I don't find any reference to the disk size requirements in the documentation. Is the any recommendation ?
We will be managing Solaris Sparc 8,9, 10 as well as Soalris X64 and Linux RHES 3 and 4. Around 100 servers for the whole farm.
Could someone point me to some recommendation ?
Best regards

For installing an SDS, here is the recommendation:
Disk Space Requirements:
Installation: 512 MB minimum free in the file system that serves /usr/local
Software Components: 500 MB minimum
SWAP: 500 MB minimum
For more information, see:

Tempdb- Disk size Requirement for Tempdb Database?

Working on new project that have fresh windows and SQl Server Install on physical machine.
Like to know what should be the disk size to keep for tempdb Intially? like 10Gb or 20GB? It will be on separate Drive .
Also like to know what should be ideal drive size to keep for Data and Log drive? They both will be on separate drive also.
any other configuration best practices ?
Thank you
Please Mark As Answer if it is helpful. \\Aim To Inspire Rather to Teach A.Shah

Hi,
Size of the tempdb depends on various factors.
Bulkload operation
general query expressions
dbcc checks
indexes
LOB Variables and parameters and many more.
As others suggested,monitoring is the best way.Try the below in test environments.
Set autogrow on for tempdb.
Execute individual queries or workload trace files and monitor tempdb space use.
Execute index maintenance operations, such as rebuilding indexes and monitor tempdb space.
Use the space-use values from the previous steps to predict your total workload usage; adjust this value for projected concurrent activity, and then set the size oftempdb accordingly.
Refer the below link for optimization.

Enterprise Features: Reduced Disk Size Requirements (Provisioning)

Hello,
as an Enterprise-Admin, I am really glad to hear that MS wants to do more for their Enterprise Customers.
One thing that drives admins into madness, is the fact, that since Vista/W7, the HDD blows up like stupid.
Even a fresh installation, after all the patches are installed, has around 30GB of (actual) Size.
If you use provisioned machines, thats a real pain and makes my network cry
With XP (RIP) that was like 5 GB.
I do understand that WINSXS is required to prevent the DLL-Hell, but is it really required to store all the DLLs from all those Patches that MS provides? I mean, we're talking of a freshly installed OS, that already doesn't know how to handle its own files.
Is MS doing somthing, so an admin can reduce the size of the MasterImage?

Hi Benjamin.G,
From Windows 8, we have considered this situation. Generally, a valid installation source would include all resource for installation.
"Features on Demand (FoD)" is a new concept in Windows 8 that allows administrators and image builders to reduce the amount of space used by the component store by adding only the payload for optional components they need to
a system image. "Payload" refers to the binaries and other files associated with a feature.
The major benefit of this feature is to conserve disk space. Once removed, these binaries will need to be added back from a valid installation source before the feature can be used again. Unlike the stage and un-stage process used by the component store,
Features on Demand removal results in a permanent removal of those binaries.
For example, I would do some customization on my Windows 10 Technical Preview.
I mount this image first:
DISM /mount-image /imagefile:c:\recoveryimage\install.wim /index:3 /mountdir:c:\image
Get the feature list to check which I want to preserve:
Dism /Image:C:\image /Get-Features
Choose one or some to remove:
DISM /image:c:\image /disable-feature /featurename:feautername /remove
Verify the state of the feature is removed:
DISM /image:c:\image /get-featureinfo /featurename:feautername
Commit the changes to the WIM:
DISM /unmounts-image /mountdir:c:\image /commit

Q: Oracle Linux 5 Hardisk Size Required?

What is the hard disk size required to install Oracle Linux 5 in Dell Intel Server? Any information provided will be very much appreciated.

The answer will depend on your installed RAM. It could be the the size of your installed RAM plus 5 GB for the OS.
Since Oracle Linux is actually a clone of Red Hat, you can check the Red Hat documentation online. The following link should answer your questions:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Installation_Guide/s2-diskpartrecommend-x86.html
or check the installation guide at: https://linux.oracle.com/documentation/
For other limits and min. requirements:
http://www.redhat.com/rhel/compare/
A lot of info is also at http://linux.oracle.com
Since you are using DELL you might want to check for hardware compatibility at http://content.dell.com/us/en/enterprise/d/operating-systems/redhatalliance.aspx and verify your current firmware and install required drivers for RHEL/Oracle Linux if necessary.

Bootcamp Windows partition disk space

I was in the process of installing Windows for the first time on my iMac. I chose the partition disk size and clicked install. It started to partition the disk succesfully, I didn't see a cancel option so I force quit Bootcamp because I changed my mind and wanted to wait to install Windows. My iMac seems to be ok except that my hard drive has space taken up on it since I quit Bootcamp and stopped the partition. What do I need to delete so I can free up that space? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Ok, so if you don't see it BCA, open disk utility and see if you see the partition there. If so, try to erase it as a Mac journaled partition and see if DU will let you merge partitions into one - I've only had 50/50 luck here.
If this doesn't work, all I know is to clean install OSX from either USB or internet recovery (command + R). Once there, use the DU option to erase your entire HD to a Mac journaled partition. Good luck.

Disk Utility -- Smallest (minimum) partition size

I viewed an earlier discussion on this topic that was answered incorrectly, but I couldn't add this information to it because it had already been archived. However, I was unable to find it anywhere else on the web, so I thought it important to get on the record.
Disk Utility in Leopard DOES enforce a minimum partition size. It is 1GB.
This is documented in the Apple Service Training course "Leopard Tools and Techniques."

V.K. wrote:
it looks like DU will not allow you to create a partition smaller than one tenth of the disk size.
when i do it on a 200GB drive the smallest size it let's me make is 20Gb, and for a 500GB drive it's 50GB.
I guess that's a safeguard against creating too many partitions.
Message was edited by: V.K.
I thought so. Like most filesystems, all the information must be stored in the bootsector or whatever it's called with BSD, and the total number of files is related to the sizes and total numbers of partitions, so like FAT32 or even NTFS, HFS has it's practical and theoretical limits.
I believe HFS has two bootrecords or equivalents, one for backup and this adds to the storage space issue.
Going back to the old 1.44MB floppies, the unformatted size was over 1.7 MB and Norton and MS took advantage of that, but not all disk readers were happy with what they did. MS once shipped Windows on a set of 1.7 MB floppies. Of course this was BC (before CDs).

Does Labview RT 8.5 impose a limit on FAT32 partition / hard disk size?

We will be using a PXI RT system (spec below) to collect, analyse and store a
large amount of data (~30 to 40GB per experiment).
We don't want to keep the Windows host PXI attached
and so the RT PXI must be able to store all the data from an
experiment.
It would be desirable to keep data from all
experiments on the H/D, so a capacity of ~300GB would be useful.
Q: Is there a limit on the hard disk size imposed by the Labview RT 8.5 Operating System and if so what is
it?
An older
post (~2005) suggests that the partitioning tool limited FAT32 partitions to 32GB.
Thus the question I'm asking that if I created a large FAT32 partition with
a third party tool could I install and run Labview RT
8.5?
Q: Is there any other way of connecting a
large capacity H/D to the RT System? For example using H/D partitions, slave H/D. Other
ideas?
Thanks,

Thanks for
reply.
I have, however, gained the impression from a
number of web sites that there isn't a 32GB partition limit on FAT32 -- see [**]
below -- but the limit is with the
partitioning tool. It looks like the
partitioning tool that comes with RT has a 32GB limit (Is that correct?). Hence
my question if you were able to create a large FAT32 partition could you install
and run RT?
Regards,
Michael
[**] The following was copied from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table#FAT32
Windows 2000 and Windows XP can read and write to
FAT32 file systems of any size, but the format program included in Windows 2000
and higher can only create FAT32 file systems of 32 GiB or less. ... This
limitation can be bypassed by using third-party formatting
utilities.

AD CS Web Enrollment Error - "public key does not meet the minimum size required"

I've installed a standalone root CA and a enterprise subordinate CA in our environment - both are Windows 2008 R2. Everything is working except for Web Enrollment using a custom User template. I duplicated the default User template and choose
2003 Compatible for the new one. I changed the minimum key length to 2048 and set the validity period to 2 years.
We'd like to avoid using the Advanced Certificate Request page, so I modified certrqtp.inc to point to the new template:
Else
' Request types for enterprise
rgAvailReqTypes(0,FIELD_TEMPLATE)="User-custom"
rgAvailReqTypes(0,FIELD_FRIENDLYNAME)=L_UserTemplateCert_Text
rgAvailReqTypes(0,FIELD_CSPLIST)="Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider v1.0?Microsoft Base Cryptographic Provider v1.0"
rgAvailReqTypes(0,FIELD_CSPLIST2)="Microsoft Base Cryptographic Provider v1.0?Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider v1.0"
rgAvailReqTypes(0,FIELD_EXPORTABLE)="True"
nAvailReqTypes=1
End If
I also ran into this issue where Web Enrollment jumps straight to the Advanced page if the original User template isn't present on the CA:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/winserversecurity/thread/9ab514bc-1f9f-424e-b70d-705874d9c623
So I have both User templates loaded on the CA, and I get this error back when attempting a certificate request using IE 8 or 9:
Your certificate request was denied.
Your Request Id is 25. The disposition message is "Denied by Policy Module".
Contact your administrator for further information.
Looking at the CA's Failed Requests section, I see this error:
The public key does not meet the minimum size required by the specified certificate template. 0x80094811 (-2146875375)
I double-checked our custom template and it does specify 2048 as the minimum key size.
Also, when trying with Chrome 11.0, I get an extra option during enrollment asking for a key size (1024 or 2048). When I choose 2048, the certificate request succeeds. I don't get the key size option when using IE, though.
We'd like to get this working with IE if possible. Any ideas?

We had the same error message. The problem turned out to be on the requesting computer, not the server. When we went to renew a cert in IIS on a server it was generating a 1028-bit key request. Since the minimum on the server was set to 2048-bit
the request failed. So, there's two ways to handle this. You can change the certificate template on the server to have a minimum set to 1024-bit or you can have IIS submit a new request for a certificate and choose 2048-bit as the size of the key during the
wizard. We opted to have IIS request a 2048-bit key. The same would apply for whatever computer, device, or software you are using to form the certificate request.
Your message is pretty old, but I am running on the same problem right now. I've added a custom template to select (with 2048) minimum length, but the webpage from the IIS by default provides just 1024-bit. Where can i optimize the IIS to use a 2048-bit
key when requesting the certificate?
When I open the same site with Firefox for example, i got a listed option (Medium / High Strength) to choose for the encryption. It seems that the high strength is >= 2048-bit.

Disk utility gives "Error: Partition map repair failed while adjusting structures to fit current whole disk size"

I am getting the following error when running Disk Utility (under ML) on an exteral USB hard drive:
Error: Partition map repair failed while adjusting structures to fit current whole disk size.
I get thsi when I ask Disk Utility to "Repair Disk" at the top level of the disk hierarchy (i.e. not on one of the partitions within the disk but on the disk itself). I was not getting this error with Lion on the same disk before I upgraded from Lion to ML.
It seems like a bug in ML. I found websites where they suggest that you just run Lion's Disk Utility and it will show the disk to be fine.
Any thoughts?

So, I finally seemed to have resolved things with the Seagate 4TB Firewire external drive. If you Google about, you will find a thread on Seagate's own support forum that describes how to disable the sleep function on the drive. You CANNOT ALLOW THE DRIVE TO SLEEP WHILE CONNECTED TO YOUR MAC.
After a lot of reading, here's what I think is happening: the drive goes to sleep, after some period of inactivity, and when you shutdown your Mac, OS X tries to write something to the drive as part of the dismount / disconnect / shutdown process. That fails in some manner, leaving the drive 'corrupted' at the filesystem or partition level.
Then, on the next boot-up, Mountain Lion tells you that it cannot repair the drive and it mounts as read only. Your only fix at that point is to re-partition / re-format and start over (which is big fun with 3TB of data to copy back on to the drive).
If you prevent the drive from sleeping, whenever it's connected to the MacBook, then the above process doesn't occur and voila, the drive just works. So far, I haven't had any problems with about a week of starting / shutting down my MacBook connected to the offending drive (translation: I was going to return the drive, but the problem is clearly with Mac OS X Mountain Lion).

How to determine physical disk size on solaris

I would like to know whether there is a simple method available for determining physical hard disk sizes on Sun sparc machines. On HP based machines it is simple:
1. run "ioscan -fnC disk" - to find all disk devices and there raw device target address ie /dev/rdsk/c0t2d2
2. run "diskinfo /dev/rdsk/c0t2d2" - display the attributes of the physical disk including size in Kbyes.
This simple process allows me create simple scripts that I can use to automate collation of audit data for a large number of HP machines.
On Sun based machines I've looked at the prtvtoc, format, and devinfo commands and have had no joy. Methods and suggestion will be well appriciated.

ok,
format should say .....eg
type format ..
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c0t0d0 <SUN2.1G cyl 2733 alt 2 hd 19 sec 80>
if this is not a Sun disk, and you do not get the info,
select the required disk and select partition and then print. This will display what you need.
hope this helps

Disk Label requirement

Hi,
Any one explain, why disk labeling required . If there is no disk label it will create problem, please clarify.
Regards,
Siva

I'm not in the expert class, I'm simply another Solaris administrator but I can give you a simple answer. The disk label is required because it provides some very basic low level information needed by the system for disk access. If the disk is divided into partitions, the disk label would give an indication as to the location and size of each partition. If you wanted to mount a filesystem stored in the fifth partition on the disk, the system can use the data recorded in the disk label to find that partition. Of course, things have a way of getting complicated. There are different sorts of disk labels so you can have situations where you have the wrong kind label on a disk for a particular purpose. That's where understanding the requirements can get tricky.
