Rate of disk space usage during microphone recording

hi all,
I have to record a speech/presentation next week to mix into a podcast i'll be putting together. the talk is about 30 minutes long. about how much free disk space do you estimate i'll need?
a couple of potentially useful details:
- i'll be recording using garageband to record the audio track on a 1.33Ghz 60GB Pbook running Tiger, 1GB DDR SDRAM
- the mic i plan to use is the Logitech Desktop USB microphone, unless you folks advise otherwise
thanks in advance!

None of the equipment changes anything, the only deciding factor is that you're using GB which records 44.1KB/Sec for a mono recording.
Let's see if I can get the math right...
44.1K * 60 seconds * 30 minutes = approx 79380KB = 77.519MB
I think that soudns about right.
Something else to remember:

Graphical disk space usage analysers

anyone got any suggestions for other disk space usage analysers?
it's nice that on ncdu's site a few "similar projects" are mentioned.
treesize is a lovely little gui app, does what it needs to, clean n no fuss.
~but it's not in pacman or the AUR.
i'm not really interested in filelight, since it will want to drag along half of kde, and similarly i expect baobab is a bloater for the same reason with gnome. no sign of philesight in the repo either though.

perhaps a lighterweight, less DE-dependent, ring-style one? ...if such a thing exists yet.
or is xdiskusage the best i'll find in the arch repos?

Just for the record, you don't have to go to ncdu or treesize webpage to look for alternatives, we have (some of) them listed in our wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … y_Programs
Maybe you can ask sb to put treesize in the AUR: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewforum.php?id=38 ?

MacBook Disk Space Usage

Hi,
Has anyone found a utility that can be used to locate disk space usage on the MacBook? I would like to find out what files are eating up my disk space and would prefer to not have to use UNIX commands to accomplish this. I need to delete something off my computer but need help to locate the culprit. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Use a program such as WhatSize or Disk Inventory X to determine where the space is being used.

Checking the schema-wise disk space usage

hi
can we get the disk space usage for every individual schema separately ?

What about this:
select OWNER, sum(BYTES) from DBA_SEGMENTS group by OWNER

Videos Disk Space Usage

Good morning,
When I go to 'About this Mac' I see it says I've got 81 GB of videos on my Mid 2013 MacBook Air (OS X Yosemite 10.10.1), but I am sure I don't have that many, also because when I click on the videos folder in Finder it shows I've got about 10 GB of videos. I've deleted all my iTunes movies, even the folders on iTunes Media. How can I free this space?
Thank you,
Luis García

Host disk space usage

Is there a way to get a report of available disk space for a host?
We do not autoextend our tablespaces, so whenever we need to add more space
, we have to shell into the OS (Unix) and run a "df -k" to see what mount points have space available.
Is it possible to have the OEM Grid send us this info via notification and how?
Thanks.

Photos disk space usage

I don't quite understand what Photos does: it uses 3 times as much disk space as Aperture for the same library.
My Aperture library with some 53k photos (~200GB on external SSD) and a few hundred videos (~100GB on external SSD) uses around 40GB disk space for thumbnails in various sizes, database and so on.
After a few hours of importing, the same library in Photos has grown to 119.9GB.
Settings are: do not copy images to library, no use of iCloud Photo Library (and thus no "optimize Mac space usage").
Inside the library file, the Thumbnails directory uses a sane-looking 16.66GB, Previews is 7.29GB, and Masters uses only 1.35GB, since almost all images are still stored in Aperture referenced masters on external SSD.
The largest directory inside the library is Resources > model resources, with a whopping 86GB for 147k objects (images).
I'm almost sure these are a result of my trying and then disabling iCloud Photo Library during import yesterday afternoon.
Since Photos does not delete those resources for some reason (disk space and RAM are always cheap and plentiful for Apple, I guess) – is there a way for me to get rid of it if I don't want iCloud Photo Library? Would Photos be smart enough to start culling images here when my system disk space, a paltry 256GB SSD, dwindles towards zero?

graigsmith wrote:
it could be because the side bar images are square, maybe it caches the square cropped images. Theres a setting to not crop the thumbnails on the sidebar.
wonder if that does anything.
i have noticed that it's way faster now than in beta. The cache probably helps speed it up a lot.
I'm sure that speed is the reason they went with this heavy-handed way of handling faces. This will help a lot when people start having their masters library in the cloud.
However, when Photos simply fills up my system SSD to the point of OSX complaining that it can't work reliably anymore for lack of space, as it did on the first Aperture library import here and was about to do again hours ago, this really is besides the point somewhat.

Bootcamp seems to double disk space usage

I have bootcamp installed. When I look at all files and programs in all subfolders on my bootcamp "c" drive it says all files combined use 8GB. However, when I look at my c drive's properties it says I am using 16GB. I alloacted 32GB to bootcamp as I did not intend to install media files there. However, at a usage rate of two times what I budgeted for I will run into trouble. When I look at the bootcamp drive from the Mac OS it also says 16GB of usage.
Can anyone expain where the extra disk usage is going or if there is some setting I need to change to slow down the rate of disk usage?

You like to stay with an anchient legacy OS with lots of itssues and won't shell out for new version? unless you buy a PC? doesn't make sense.
You aren' going to see hidden system files. Which is why the difference in used/free space.
Home Premium 32-bit is under $100, and a version pre-installed on a PC can't be used on another computer. But Windows on Mac is never as good (other than the Mac's aesthetics) as a PC especially if you assemble one yourself and cna customize best parts.
Go hit Windows XP forums, I'm sure there are tips but your best bet is to resize the partitions or re install.

Insufficient Disk Space error during installation of OEPE

Are you using the the all-in-one installer or the one which includes WLS as well. Do you face similar issues when installing Eclipse JEE package ?

Disk Space Usage on my Mac Mini

Where has all my disk space gone?
Info on my Mac Mini drive is as follow;
Capacity: 74.21 GB
Available: 9.68 GB
Used: 64.53 GB
Doing the info on all folders visible in Finder;
Applications: 5.29 GB
Developer: 160kB
Library: 10.75 GB
System: 2.53 GB
Users: 13.8 GB
I don't even have to try and add these up as they are nowhere near the total of 64 GB used, so what directories/files are not visible? Or what is using more than 30 GB of space that I cannot see?
I trying to free space up and or move things of this drive because is is dog slow right now and it.
Any insight would be appreiciated.
Warren

OK, So I dl'd that and ran it and it only showed an additional swap file directory called "Private" that had about 3 gigs, still about 27 gig's missing.....
In this program the bottom bar shows 74.2 capacity, 61.5 used, 12.6 available
Big directories (anything over 1gig)
13.7 users
10.7 Lib
5.28 Apps
2.53 System
2.93 Private
About 35 gigs
then a bunch under 1 gig that total less than 1 gig,
so say around 25.5 unaccounted for ?????????????
nice program but still wondering where my hard drive space has gone.....

Insufficient disk space error during export

I've been exporting approximately 1,200 photograghs (975 MB) to a Desktop folder which I copy and then burn to a DVD for playback on a Windows PC without difficulty for the past several months. However, I'm now receiving an error message stating "insufficient disk space for that operation". What's happening? I receive the error even when attempting to export 50 photograghs (25 - 30 MB).
iMac G3, 600 MHz, 768 MB SDRAM, slot loaded Mac OS X (10.3.9) Netgear WGR614 v6 wirelrss router, Dell Dimension 510 PC, HP 6980, cable modem, Epson 3490 scanner

I have edited most of the JPEG files with PE4. Could this be causing the trouble?
Possibly. Check your Edit->Color Setting menu window and see if you've got color management turn one. Mine looks like this. If it's not set to manage then some of those files may not have a profile. To correct this you can either reedit each and save to embed the profile or, much easier, download the Automator application "Embed sRGB Profile" from Toad's Cellar, unzip and drag the original files that need it onto it. It will automatically embed the profile.
Were the files you tried to export the same as before or a new bunch? Had then been editied?

Disk Space Usage Reported Varies

I'm using OS X Mountain Lion on a MacBook Pro. I'm trying to create a disk image (.dmg) of my hard drive to back it up offsite but it's ending up larger than the space used on the disk. In fact, the space used that the OS reports to me varies widely from different sources.
Hard Drive "get Info": 59 GB used
Disk Inventory X: reports 105 GB used on the disk, but the files shown total only about 59 GB used
Disk Utility: reports 115 GB used
When I create a compressed disk image through Disk Utility, the size is about 85 GB, which is more than the apparent size of the files on the disk. UNLESS it's using the Disk Utility figure of 115 GB.
I ran verify/repair disk and it says everything is fine. I repaired permissions, too.
Why is the reported disk space used so different?

1. Re-index Macintosh HD.
    This will take a while. Wait until it is finished.

2. Backup your computer.
   Try OmniDiskSweeper. This will give the storage size details of the items.

   Select Macintosh HD and click “Sweep Selected Drive” at the bottom.
   Delete the files you don’t want to keep.
   Be careful. Delete only the files that can be safely deleted. If you are not sure about any file, don’t touch it.

Detailed look on Disk-Space-Usage

On the server (NW6.0-SP5) I need to have a detailed look,
who or what eats up the disk-space.
At time I only have some trends from the backup-software,
where I can see from the log-files i.e. volume GWX getting
from 21 GB to 24 GB and volume IVM getting from 46 GB to 50
GB in 5 months.
These are absolute small numbers, but from the overall view
on the business I do not get an idea where these gains might
come from and my guess is an employee or application running
wild.
Are there any possibilities to get this trend more detailed
from NRM or any other Netware-Tools?
Sincerely
Karl

That is a stunning pile of information to work with. I did
not try this before. Thanks for pointing out.
