Question re/ BDB behavior in out-of-disk situations

We run BDB in the basic, non-transactional mode. Our transactional protection consists of an off-line copy of the database that gets restored if an update session fails.
In reading the BDB documentation, it says BDB programs which don't use transactional protection cannot recover from out-of-disk situations, and database corruption is likely in such scenarios.
My question is, what kind of error indication a BDB client program might receive in an out-of-disk situation? Would it be a standard Linux (we're running on Linux) ENOSPC or something like that that we could look for and take appropriate steps?
If we can figure out that we've run out, we can deal with it, but I'm not sure from reading the documentation how we'd be relatively certain the out-of-disk situation had happened.

not return ENOSPC either.

Newb Question - Running out of disk space after Solaris 10 install (x86)

After installing Solaris 10 on my x86 environment on a 80GB drive, I noticed I'm practically out of disk space. The space seems to be allocated in \devices\pci@0,0 and \devices\isa. There are several fd@8,0:a like devices in ISA at are a ridicuous number (ie. 8589934592.0GB) Block Device. Can someone give background on what is going on here or what I need to do to fix it?
Thanks.
-Vinny_C

Well - in typical newbie fashion - I actually was out of space. Turns out that during the install I did not allocate enough to the \ root install folder as all the space was in my home mount.
Cheers!

How to set the limit for the warning 'running out of disk space'

I am wondering if there's a way to set the number of GB before I get the system warning 'running out of disk space'.
I saw this question asked in 2010 and it did not get an answer. It was archived so I am asking again. I know how to monitor the available space on my startup disk, and how to empty the trash to clear up disk space. I am looking for an OS X setting that I can change.

My guess is that you want to lower the limit. IMHO I think the limit is alreay too low.
If you are seeing this warning regularly then your disk is severely overfull and needs to be replaced with a larger one.
Running the free space low eenough to get the warning greatly increases the chances for disk corruption. Once the disk gets corrupted then then next thing that happens is data lose.
You have a serious problem with your Mac that should be dealt with immediately.
Backing your data up would also be a good idea if you are not already doing that.

DPM is out of disk space for the replica

Trying to make a bare metal backup of a phyiscal server running 2008 R2 SP1 . I've checked im not out of space. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the agent, I've manually tried to make the disk allocation larger same error.
DPM is out of disk space for the replica. (ID 58 Details: Internal error code: 0x809909FF)
This is in the event log on the Client machine
The backup operation attempted has failed to start, error code '2155348040' (There is not enough free space on the backup storage location to back up the data.). Please review the event details for a solution, and then rerun the backup operation once
the issue is resolved.
I have several other machines doing bare metal backups they are virtual but I can't see why that would be any different. They have no problems doing this. I have seen hacks on the internet editing xml files to get this to work changing allcritical to "C:".
I'd like an actual fix for this please?

Mike quick question. How can I determine which share my particular server is using to backup to? Here is what I get when I try to do a DIR on the folder as system
C:\Windows\system32>whoami
nt authority\system
C:\Windows\system32>dir
\\kdnap-util1\0ae3c77eaab54ea09b0724737a125f48
Access is denied.
C:\Windows\system32>dir
\\kdnap-util1\12068c1992634c92addf44bfbee5cada
Access is denied.
I was just trying to poke around to browse the folder to see which one to back it up to . But with the access denied error this isn't helpful :)
Here is my list of shares
C:\Windows\system32>net view \\kdnap-util1
Shared resources at \\kdnap-util1
I also tried doing a DIR from a server that is backing up correctly on any of those shares listed above after running psexec and I get access denied from them as well so I guess thats normal

Running out of disk space (large VM boxes)

Gentlemen:
CUCM 6.1.4
Unity version = 5.0(1.0)
Cisco Message Store Manager Version 1.4.0.38
Exchange Information Store Version: 6.5.7638.1
Running out of disk space (large VM boxes)
Here is the situation: My client never set up any storage or flush procedures within Cisco Unity Tools Message Store Manager (MSM). Now they have several voice mailboxes with a half a GB of data or more in their (Deleted Items Folder)
I ran the (flush messages from deleted items folder) with success on these voice mailboxes.
The question is should I see some disk space reclaimed on the Server Hard Drives?
Thanks, Tom

With Exchange, you will not see disk space reclaimed until an offline defrag is run against the Exchange databases.

Hope this helps.

user11204020, what's your question?? :)
You're getting an out of disk space error ... which means you've run out of disk space, no?
Since it's saw related I'm guessing you'll need to make more space available to your OracleBIdata/tmp directory

Exporting 90 min project into Q/T. Error out of disk space??

After an atmmpted export reaching 99% - Message "Error out of disk space"
Can't export full movie.
Tried exporting in smaller chunks and that seems to work but obviously not the result i'm after.

OK, let's play 20 questions!
Here are the first four:
Where is your media stored?
What codec are you exporting?
What drive are you exporting to?
How full is that drive?

Exchange 2010 running out of disk Space

Hi I wonder if anyone can help.
We have a situation whereby over night we have ran out of disk space on a partition. We have DAG environment and have 3 mbx servers and 3 CAS servers.
By calculations we have 119 Mailboxes mounted on this partition and if all had reached the 4gb we allow the mailboxes to grow to (which they aren't) this would account for 476 GB in size? Looking at the .edb it's current size is 560GB. Looking
at forums people seem to mention that Exchange doesn't clear up after itself particulary well and often leaves a lot of white space in the database? Is this the case and if so does anyone have any solutions to remove it?
Many Thanks

Hi,
Exchange will always run online defragmentation on nightly basis, it rearrange the data (database pages really) within the database to have more contiguous white space.
We can run below command to check the maintenance schedule: Get-MailboxDatabse | FL Identity,MaintenanceSchedule
More details about “Do we need to file-level defragment Exchange database drives?”. For your reference:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2004/10/25/247342.aspx
For your question, we can run command as Gador mentioned to get more details about Exchange environment. Especially, mailbox database copy.
More details about Database and Log Performance Factors, please refer to:

Time Capsule running out of disk space

If anyone ran out of disk space on their time Capsule, did the system delete the oldest backups as advertised? My 1TB is about full.

Please check out this excellent Pondini Time Machine article to see if it will help answer your question. Basically, Time Machine will delete the oldest backups "as advertised," but there are times when this doesn't always appear to work that way.

That means that the disk is almost full. Unless you free up some space soon, your operating system will begin to behave strangely and eventually will no longer boot into Windows.
Windows operating system uses part of the capacity of the hard disk for virtual memory. A good rule of thumb is to never come to within 15-20% of the hard disk's capacity.

Please!

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

"Error:Out of Disk Space" message. Why?

I've been using an Apple G4 with FCP2 to capture footage through a Sony DSR-11 deck. I've set up a LaCie 500GB 7200, with most of its 500GB available, as capture disk. As late as last summer I used this system to capture 70+ hours of footage which was then edited on another system.
This time I've met only problems. I've tried capturing 5 different DV tapes. They seem to be capturing but at the end of the hour I get the message "Error: Out of Disk Space".
Does anyone know why this might be happening? I've checked the set up and everything seems in order. (These tapes are 4:3, the ones captured last year were 16:9 DV, so the only adjustment I had to make was un-checking "anamorphic".) I even tried capturing to the MAC hard drive to see if the problem was the LaCie drive, but I get the same same message. (The LaCie I've been using had been full with last year's capture scratch and the disk had been erased through LaCie's Silverlining program, so for a while I began to think that this may be the problem; that maybe I'd have to reformat the disk, etc. but this test seems to rule that out.)
Thanks.

Since I last wrote I’ve changed hard drives, run tests on them, as well as trash my preferences, which I did earlier. Still, if I try to capture a tape (to disks with up to 460 GB available) I get the message “Error: Out of Disk Space”. The only thing I can think of doing now is deleting and then reinstalling the Final Cut software.
Here I’m kind of dumb and don’t want to make any mistakes. This Apple has been a stand-alone computer used only for Final Cut and the software was installed when I got it. The rest of my life has been conducted on a PC. So is there anything I should do before deleting Final Cut? Should I be doing anything to protect exiting project files, captured clips, thumbnail cache etc.? Will Final Cut just recognize these when I re-install? What do I do? Just open the Mac hard drive, identify the Final Cut application and drag it to Trash? Do I need to empty the trash first or should I leave it there for safety?
I look at the instructions that came with my ancient Final Cut 2 disks. Here’s what they say in full:
To install QuickTime, follow these steps
1) Insert the Final Cut Pro CD in your CD drive. (I see I have two disks: one “Final Cut Pro 2”, the other “Final Cut Pro 2:Tutorial Media” Do I need to install the second?)
2) Double-click the CD’s icon, then double-click the QuickTime Installer folder.
3) Double-click the QuickTime Installer icon and follow the onscreen instructions.
4) When the Choose Installation Type window appears, select Custom, then click Continue.
5) In the next window, click Select All, then continue
This replaces any previous versions of QuickTime and ensures a complete installation of all components required by Final Cut Pro.
6) When a message appears saying installation was successful, click Restart.
Is this all straightforward or might there be any potential pitfalls in the above instructions for someone unfamiliar with installing software on a Mac (In my case old software and an old Mac – a G4)? I guess I should also ask if you folks out there agree that re-installing Final Cut may be the answer to my problem, that this error message is the result of a glitch that has arisen in the installed version of Final Cut.
Thanks in advance for any help.

My mac is runnug out of disk space. Do /i need to by external drives? how much memory should i get

My imac is running out of disk space. I download a lot of media from itunes. The HD movies and TV shows use so much space. Should I switch to the cloud, clean up my memory or buy an external memory drive? If i get an external drive how much memory is suggesyed? 1TB, 2TB or more?

Buy an external hard drive on which to save your media. The drive should be large enough to handle your entire iTunes Library plus how much you would anticipate adding to the library over the next few years. Then backup your existing library to the external drive: iTunes- Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
After you have backed up the library to the external drive you can configure iTunes to use the library on the external drive in iTunes > Preferences > Advanced. Change the path to the external drive. Once you do that quit and relaunch iTunes. It should now be using the library on the external drive. Now you can delete the library on the internal hard drive to free up the space.
