Querying free space on RDBMS server's drive from within the RDBMS?

Hi,
I would like to query free space on a certain drive of the RDBMS
host mashine from within the RDBMS. Is this feasable?
TIA,
Tamas Szecsy

Depends on the OS and what type of object you are querying from.
if in Sql*plus you can use the 'host' command to get into the
shell and execute OS commands (bdf on HP-UX for example). I've
never seen an Oracle package that queries that sort of
information.

  • How do I erase a hard drive from within the system itself?

    I want to erase everything on my hard drive as I want to give it away to someone. It has Lion on it.
    How do I do this?
    I tried to erase using Disk Utility but the disks were grayed out.
    I have saved all the data on another disk so I can completely erase the drive.

    I ended up doing it by booting with Lion Recovery (it was a Lion machine), obtained by booting and pressing down the Option key.
    Then I went to Disk Utility and erased the internal hard disk.
    But afterwards, when I tried to do Lion Recovery, I couldn't. Maybe because my Internet connection was poor. I was at a hotel. I think you need an internet connection to get Lion OS downloaded on your computer.
    It didn't really matter anyway as I  the person who I gave it to can get Lion on the machine easily.

  • How can I get the amount of free space that is on my drive to show at the bottom of the drive in Lion.

    How can I get the amount of free space that is on my drive to show at the bottom of the drive in Lion.
    This is a must feature for me and I may have to go back to Snow Leopard.
    Please help!

    Right click on your desktop and choose "viewer options". Adjust the spacing and the size of your icons and you should be able to see the size of your drive(s) and the free space available on each drive with the exception of your bootcamp drive which will only show the overall size of the drive you have it on.  This may be different if you only have one system drive (like on a Mac Book Pro) with a partition containing bootcamp on it. this may only show you the overall capacity, I can't say for sure though as I only use a Mac Pro with 4 seperate Hard Drives which are showing both overall capacity and free space available. Hope this helps

  • Need to find the free space on storage server

    Hi,
    I need to find the free space on storage server through Java code, and even find whether web server has access to the storage server.
    So please tell me how do i do that.

    This will be through an API for your "storage
    server". It would be helpful if you at least
    indicated what this "storage server" is: a NFS? an
    FTP site? something else?I forgot to mention that. Its NFS. Please let me know
    clearly, what APIs I need to use and in simple how.How am I supposed to clearly know this?
    Consult the documentation for your NFS system and figure it out. That's what to do.

  • Adding free space back to my hard drive

    I erased windows from my MAC and am trying to add the free space back to my hard drive in disk utility and I keep getting the error message... 'Could not modify partition map because filesystem verification failed'
    Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Or why it's saying this??
    Thanks

    You did not do this correctly. You should have used Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition. You cannot use Disk Utility for this. Having done so is the reason for the error. You have only one thing you can do - repartition the entire hard drive.
    1. Repair your OS X volume and permissions.
    2. Backup your OS X system to an external drive.
    3. Boot from the external drive.
    4. Use Disk Utility to repartition the internal hard drive.
    5. Clone your external drive to the internal drive.
    6. Use Startup Disk preferences to designate the internal drive as the startup drive.
    7. Reboot the computer.

  • Hi Apple, Is there a way to move some of my less frequently used music out of my iTunes Library to free up some space on my full hard drive but with the option to re-add it later?

  • Get an error message when importing from iPhoto says, "There is not enough free space on your Aperture Library volume to import the selected items. It is estimated that you need at least 44GB of free space."

    I get an error message when importing from iPhoto that says, "There is not enough free space on your Aperture Library volume to import the selected items. It is estimated that you need at least 44GB of free space." the drive is empty, I just reformatted it to Mac OSX journaled.

    I'm guessing this is an extrenal drive, correct? If so make sure the library you're importimng into is really located on the external drive. By default Aperture creates its library in your home pictures folder.

  • There is not enough free space on your Aperture Library volume to import the selected items. It is estimated that you need at least 4GB of free space.

    I have over 250 GB free space yet aperture still tells me i nedd more than 4 BG when importing my pictures (2 gb ) from iphoto library to apertura library ???
    Any suggestions ??

    And how much free space is on your system drive?
    I strongly suspect that the system drive is nearly full: My guess: Aperture could not access the library on our external drive and tried to write to your system drive.
    Then your options are:
    create plenty of free space on the system drive
    or find out why the extrenal cannot be accessed by Aperture
    Reasons, why the external can not be read may be:
    it is a network volume (that is not recommended for Aperture)
    or the formatting is wrong. You need MacOS X extended formatting:
    If necessary, reformat your external volume using disk utility and repair the permissions on the  volume.

  • Clone a Mac Partition to an External Drive from within Windows 7 Bootcamp?

    Anyone know if it is possible to clone the mac os x partition to an external drive from within Windows 7 bootcamp? I (like a few others) had a problem with the latest 10.6.3 update and I cannot boot into the mac partition but I can access it via bootcamp so I was thinking about trying to clone it to an external drive and then boot from the new clone and see if that works.
    Appreciate your comments.

    setup a 30GB partition on an external drive, along with a partition of 150% the size of your Mac OS X volume -- or larger.
    Install OS X to 30GB.
    While booted from DVD, before you install, you'll need to go to Utility Menu => Disk Utility to do the partitoning. While there, in DU see if you can repair your system.
    And where is your TimeMachine or clone backup? The "Step #1: Backup before beginning your Boot Camp project."?
    No way to backup or clone from within Windows, though you may be able to write to NTFS backup volume, UNLESS you bought MacDrive8 which allows read AND write to HFS+ from within Windows.

  • Installing Oracle ODBC driver from within another installation

    My application requires ODBC driver. Is it possible/recommended
    to install the driver from within my installation program (other
    than invokig the ODBC's setup program)? If so, what are the
    files that need to be installed, the registry entries that need
    to be updated and other activities perfromed?
    Thanks
    Michael

    In order for the ODBC driver to function properly, the Oracle
    client must have been installed on the user's machine. If the
    Oracle client has been successfully installed, users will have
    the Oracle ODBC driver.
    Since the Oracle client install is very large as installers
    go, you probably don't want to package this with your app. In
    addition, the Oracle client installation is pretty significant
    in terms of what it does, so you definitely don't want to try to
    replicate that work in your installer.

  • Storage Spaces on WS2012R2 Server Essentials drive space error

    So, I finally bit the bullet and retired my V1 Home Server in favor of building out a Windows Server 2012R2 Server Essentials box as a replacement. All seemed to go well with the install and so I built out a Storage Space (16 TB) using an external 8-bay
    enclosure with about 14 TB of drives in it. The Space built out fine and I then moved my Server Folders to it which also went well.
    At that point, I attached my 4 TB external drive that had my movie backups on it and started copying them over. After about a day and a half it is done, or so I thought. It copied over about 3.2 TB of data and now when I try to copy basically anything onto
    the Storage Space, I get the following error message:
       There is not enough space on <folder name>
       xx.x GB is needed to copy this item. Delete or move files so you have enough space.
    <folder name> is whatever the target folder name is and xx.x is whatever size the file or files add up to.
    This then just has an option to Try Again, Skip or Cancel. Problem is, the drive only has a few TB of data on it and still shows mostly empty, yet I can't copy hardly anything to it. It seems to allow me to copy smaller files individually, but any larger
    group of files, or a folder with larger files in it yield the error above.
    Anybody have any ideas?

    Hi, 
    What is the resiliency type of the virtual disk in the Storage Spaces? How much the free space of the virtual disk? The issue may because the free space of the virtual disk is less than 4 TB.
    You could refer to the articles below to know more about the virtual disk size of different resiliency types:

  • Incorrect free space reported on FAT32 USB drive

    I'm suspecting this is an issue deeper than Finder, but here we go:
    I have an 80GB external drive that connects via USB and is formatted FAT32 (for compatibility with my Windows machine and PS3, so this can't change, unfortunately).
    The other day, I noticed Finder reporting that only 15GB were available, which didn't seem right. After doing some checks, it is indeed wrong: I've only used 15GB. I've confirmed this with three different tools: Finder itself (using "get info"), the command 'du -csh' while in the drive's directory in /Volumes, and OmniDiskSweeper. All of them agree: only 15GB have been used, on an 80GB drive. Yet it still say it's 15GB free.
    So I did a bit more checking. Figuring that I might not have partitioned it correctly, I had a look in fdisk, and the partition spans the whole drive. 'df -h' reports that the partition is 74GB in total, which sounds about right. But df also shows only 15GB remaining. Weird.
    Wondering if I'd done an unsafe unmounting, I ran fsck on it, but that turned up nothing (I was hoping for orphaned inodes, but zilch). I know about the 4GB filesize limit on FAT32, and none of my files approach that (the largest being 3GB). I've done some searching online, and haven't found anything useful.
    So, anyone heard of anything like this, or have any suggestions that I haven't tried, that aren't "use HFS+ or some other better fs"?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply. I tried as you suggested (only I made several 4GB files, due to the FAT32 filesize limit). Whenever I encountered the supposed maximum, if I made a file slightly larger than the remaining space (my a megabyte or so), the remaining space would increase by 3GB. After doing this a few times, I tried deleting them (about 25GB-worth), and the free space went back to 15.03GB, as it was before.

  • "Not enough free space" with multiple internal hard drives

    I have a Power Mac G4, dual 1.25 Ghz, 2mb Ram running 10.5.8. I have four 500gb internal drives. I've had a number of issues with my internal drives lately. Hopefully someone here can help.
    When I "get info" none of the drives display capacity or availability.
    When I attempt to copy files from one drive to another I will consistently receive this error:
    "The item "filename" cannot be copied because there is not enough free space.
    My startup drive should have over 400GB of freespace, so there is plenty of space. This problem also occurs when I connect my Macbook Pro in target mode and attempt to transfer over files.
    I was able to boot the G4 into target mode and backup my data. I then installed a fresh copy of OS X 10.5, then did the 10.5.8 combo update (not through software update).
    This seems to have fixed the problem as I was copying and organizing my files back and forth between drives quite easily. However, the problem has returned from out of nowhere.
    Anybody have ideas what this could possibly be?

    Hi iliveontrantor, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Have you emptied the Trash on those drives?
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • Why when i delete photos and movies do i not get the free space back on my hard drive?

    I'm desparately trying to free up hard drive space.  I have deleted unwanted photos and videos, emptied iphoto trash, rebooted and emptied regular trash but there is no corresponding increase in available hard drive space!  Please help or the Mac gets it!!

    If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as "Backups." The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself.
