Sudden increase in disk space?

I've been working with 20 GB or so available on my startup disk for around 6 months now.
A couple of days ago I got the Startup Disk almost full message. I saved my work and rebooted.
That solved the problem and I gained 3-4 GB.
Yesterday morning suddenly I had 100+GB of free disk space!
No emptying the trash, no time machine running, norhing.
Any ideas on this matter?
I'm running Lion 10.7.5 on an iMac

I work mainly with big video files. Almost all of my work is on external hard disks. They seem to be fine. So I have my stuff backed up. But I don't run Time Machine or any backup software.
I've read that if you are using Time Machine there is a discrepancy because of snapshots, but as I mentioned, I don't use Time Machine.

Sudden increase in memory space

We have developed an application using the Hyperion 9.3.1.
We are trying to load data and the data load itself is taking lot of time.
Again, the memory space is getting increased drastically (almost to 100%).
We see lot of page files being generated.
What can be the reason for this sudden increase in memory space utilization.

you should consider the folllowing factors for sudden increase in memory space
1.Minimize the no of hierarchies otherwise it leads to increase in the size of aggregated data and slows down view selection
2. remove fragmentation
3.Compact the outline to remove the records of members that we have been deleted
4.create transparent partition if neccessary which leads to enable write-back partition.By doing this we can reducethe size of the Database and reduces calculation time.
5.use compression if values are grouped together in consecutive members on dimensions or hierarchies rather than spread throughout the outline with lots of
#missing data between values.

How do I increase the disk space ?

I recently bought solaris for Intel. I success fully installed
with dual boot. When I am trying to install other software I got
a message saying insufficient diskspace. How do I increase the
space or set up a new partition.
srinivas

Hi ,
For your problem I would suggest following steps.
Use Format command to check whether any of disk partition or disk space is not utilised. If you have consumed all the disk space then only option to you is add new disk. If entire disk space has been utilised then you can't add more disk space on same disk. You need to have additional disk.
If you have any of the partion is still not used then you can merge the adjecent partition with it. Re-partition the disk. Here just ensure that if you have valid data on any of the patition which is going to merge with adjecent partition, then take backup ( ufsdump) as when you change boundary of partition you will need to make file system with newfs command which removes all data from that partition.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
SdD

[SOLVED] Increase free disk space

When I formatted my CR-48, I formatted the entire disk for the root partition. Here is the output of "df -h"

Is there a way I can free up space, like the multiple "tempfs" partitions?

Gotcha. Thanks!
Edit: one more thing that's bugging me. "df" shows you the file system disk space usage. Why do dev/run/tempfs show up here?

Increase disk space for Oracle Linux VM

Hi
I am using the "Pre-built Virtual Machine for SOA Suite and BPM Suite 11g". The total available space at / is 654.62 MB.
Now how do I increase the disk space at /.
Thanks
BK

According to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/soasuite/learnmore/vmsoa-172279.html this is a Virtualbox disk image and your question is about resizing a Virtualbox disk image, which is probably better placed in the VM forum e.g. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure and SunRay Clients
To my knowledge there is no easy command to simply resize a disk image using the VirtualBox Virtual Disk Manager and you will have to either add another disk and play with Linux LVM, or clone the existing disk image to a larger disk image. i.e. VBoxManage clonehd --existing oldhd.vdi newhd.vdi
Both steps are not easy to explain. I suggest to check the VirtualBox documentation at http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html or search the internet for information about how to resize a vdi disk image.

Oracle 10g increase disk space

Hi all,
I am very new with oracle and can not find an answer to this question:
Is it possible to increase the disk space after installation, e.g. by configuring of an additional disk?
(If yes, in what way)
The scenario is:
After some time after our Oracle installation the disk wiil be full and we wiil need to increase the disk space without to lose the existing data.
Many thanks in advance!
Pita

Hi,
first of all - thanks a lot for your help and new questions :)
-- You can add a datafile to the existing tablespace keeping the new datafile to the location where there is enough space.
What is about the old datafile (old data), can I keep two data files assingded to the single tablespace?
-- 1)You can use 3rd party tools like Acronis Disk Director Suite to increase the drive space without formatting
2)You can have new drive and you can move your datafiles to that new drive.
I don't want to copy the existing data to the new drive.
Is it possible to configure an additional drive for the same tablespace
Best regards,
Pita

Increasing Disk Space on VMware ISE

hi,
i would like to increase the disk space for Vmware based cisco ise to 600gb.
Increasing the raw disk space is fine on VMware, but how will the ISE or Linux OS modify the partition to recognise the extra disk space
thank

Refreshing an old thread, but I was faced with this recently.
If you're prepared to roll up your sleeves with Linux, I've figured out a procedure. In my case I couldn't rehost the license since it's an NFR version - and yes Tarik is correct a restore doesn't bring in the license.
Some instructions here.

Increase disk space allotted to Windows

I have a Mac Mini with following config: Mac OS X 10.5.8; 120 GB HD, 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB 667MHz DDR2 SD RAM. I have installed a licensed version of Windows XP SP2 and allotted it 10GB of space. Now I find the space woefully inadequate.
_How can I increase the disk space allotted to Windows without having to reinstall Windows?_ For a re-installation would mean downloading all the updates from SP3 till date all over again, also the drivers etc.
P.S. I need Win XP on the Mini for my children. They are taught Win XP at school.

Will try the same. But is there any 'free' software to do the same job reliably.
Sorry to say but no.
The only 'free' alternative would be a complete re-installation of BootCamp Windows with an increased partition size.

CSCul50066 - Upgrade fails due to lack of disk space in the /common partition

I noticed this has only 1 and 2 star ratings after bumping into this issue myself, so I figured I would help out the original poster and others who are experiencing this issue.
Presumably, the original poster is intending to advise that we read the CUCM 10.0(1) Upgrade Guide, and view the Pre-Upgrade Tasks therein. These (the bullet points below) seem to be the salient options contained in that section. I used the "Free Common Space COP file" option to resolve my disk space issue and allow my upgrade. I found the .cop file in the following download area on CCO:

Unified Communications Manager Version 10.0
Unified Communications Manager / CallManager / Cisco Unity Connection Utilities-COP-Files
It is called: "VMware Disk Size Reallocation COP file: This COP file allows UCM VMs to increase the size of their vDisk(s) without requiring a system rebuild.
ciscocm.free_common_space_v1.1.cop.sgn "
• Use the Cisco Log Partition Monitoring Tool to adjust the low and high watermarks to reduce the traces
and remove unnecessary log files. Cisco recommends that you adjust the low watermark value to 30,
and the high watermark value to 40. After the upgrade, you must restore the high and low watermarks
to their original values in order to avoid premature purging of traces. The default value for the high
watermark is 85. The default value for the low watermark is 80. For more information about using the
Cisco Log Partition Monitoring Tool, see the Cisco Unified Real-Time Monitoring Tool Administration

• Use the Disk Expansion COP file (ciscocm.vmware-disk-size-reallocation-<latest_version>.cop.sgn) to

review the Readme file that supports this COP file before you proceed.
• Use the Free Common Space COP file (ciscocm.free_common_space_v<latest_version>.cop.sgn). This
COP file removes the inactive side in the common partition to increase available disk space without
requiring a system rebuild. Ensure that you review the Readme file that supports this COP file before
you proceed.
• Manually remove outdated or unused firmware files from the TFTP directory. You can remove these
files using the TFTP File Management page in the OS Administration interface, or you can use the file

I am trying to resize disk space on parallels 6 for windows XP under configure Hardrive and I get the error resizing failed unable to resize last volume the file system of this volume might be damaged or not supported? I am on a Mac using Parallels 6

I have been trying to increase my disk space for windows xp on my Imac and I am running parallels 6. before opening windows I go into configure in parallels and open the hard drive and try to move the allotted disk space from 32 gig to 64 or any other increased gig and then apply and I get the error message: resizing failed unable to resize last volume. The file system of this volume might be damaged or not supported. How do I increase the size?? I just also did a disk repair utility with Apple on the Apple side of my IMAC. Please Help!! I had uninstalled SQL server on the windows side and needed to uncompress files to install this and then I ran short on disk space.

This sounds to me that your Parallels XP file system is corrupted and not the OSX file system.
Have you checked the XP file system while running the Parallels XP yet ?
However, it would be better to ask such question in the Parallels Forum http://forum.parallels.com/

Hi Andrey,
You need to reorganize whole tablespace, not only tables in order to reclaim the free space to the OS.
The prerequisite for online reorganization is:
Oracle 9.2 database or higher.
The prerequisite for online conversion of the LONG-fields into LOB-fields:
Oracle 10g database or higher.
Online conversion is supported for SAP kernel 7.00 or higher. For SAP kernel 6.40,
it is supported only in a restricted manner (see "Caution" in point III). Conversion is
not supported for SAP systems with a kernel lower than 6.40.
Check the note 646681 - Reorganizing tables with BRSPACE

What kind of hardware do I buy to add more disk space?

Hi Makeda here:
I like to know how can I increase my disk space on my Mac OSX 10.3.9? What is the name of the product I need to buy? I made a mistake and thought I needed more memory to get more disk space. The tech told me that purchasing more memory using a memory chip will give me more disk space. I found out this is not true. Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Makeda:
First, let us get some info on your computer. Boot up your computer in Panther. Then go to Apple Menu > About this Mac. Click the button More Info. This opens up the System Profiler. The top item in the sidebar is Hardware. Click on this if it not already selected. On the right side under the title Hardware Overview is a list of specs. Copy this and paste it in your response to this post. That will give me the basic information about your computer.
Now to some of your questions. Your computer has two kinds of memory: 1. RAM memory, is like your brain. It holds things in your mind while you process information. When you stop thinking about it the information is not there anymore. 2. Your Hard Disk Drive, is like a notebook in which you write down the stuff you think about. It keeps a permanent record. If the notebook is not big enough it soon fills up and you can't store information anymore.
That is about where you are. You need to increase disk space. There are two basic ways to do that. 1. Remove stuff from your Hard Disk Drive (HDD). That increases the amount of free space, but it does not increase the capacity of the HDD. The leads us to the second way. 2. Replace the HDD. You cannot make it bigger, you have to buy a bigger drive and install it in your computer. That will give you more disk space. The System Profiler will tell you how big your drive is. Just under Hardware in the sidebar is ATA. That is your hard drive. Click on it. On the right side it gives you all the information. Note particularly under Macintosh HD the heading Capacity. It tells you how much your drive can hold. Note, too Available, which tells you how much empty space you have on your drive.
When I upgraded to Panther I thought I was also increasing my "disk" space capacity? True? Or am I confusing myself more?
Panther is an Operating System. It is what makes your computer function. It makes your computer able to run applications. It is installed on your HDD, and adds power to your computer, but it does not add disk space. Only a Hard Drive does that.
OK, that's enough for now. Post back with further questions and I will try to answer in the best way I can.
Good luck.

Disk Space - iMovie Event

I'm running out of space on my hard drive while editing a video.
I looked into Finder/Movies and I can see the same video being under iMovie Original Movies/New Event and iMovie Events/New Event. Each consuming 35GB, hence a total consumption of 70GB.
I have backed up other files and deleted them to increase hard disk space, but still these movie files are too large.
As the files are duplicated would like to delete one of them. I don't know which or if any of them can be deleted without affecting the projects that have not been shared yet.
Can someone please advice?
Thanks

First, I would give your event a name. Do this in iMovie so you don't mess up your project.
Secondly, I would try this. Open your event in iMovie. Do you see one or two? If just one, right click on a clip in the event, and select "Show in FInder". See which of the two folders it is in.
