VHD size incresing 50GB a day while guest drive remains same size

I have a 2008r2 Server VM dedicated to running Microsoft SQL server 2008r2 with 4 VHD's (each corresponding to a drive on the server). VM's
are hosted on a SAN using a cluster shared volume. I have 2 hosts in cluster.
VHD and corresponding guest OS drive
1 - c: system disk which is a dynamic disk
2 - e: Applications on fixed size disk
3 - f: logs and backup on fixed size disk
4 - g: databases on fixed size disk
This was set up about 2/3 years ago and was running well. Recently the server crashed and when I investigated I saw that the c:drive
VHD had expanded in size so that that it filled all the space on the CSV. I initially increased the size of the CSV to get the server running again.
I noticed that the VHD containing the c: drive is growing about 50GB a day while the guest c:drive on the VHD is only getting marginally bigger.
I have compacted the VHD and this brought the size of it down to the same size as the guest c:drive. Unfortunately since the compact it continues to grow at a rate of approximately 50GB a day.
I have done some research but cannot see an identical issue. This behaviour must have only started to occur recently otherwise this issue
would have become apparent sooner.
Has anyone any ideas why this is happening
I can schedule a weekly compact as a work around.
I have seen information where the dynamic disk will continue to grow but this will only happen as the guest dive grows.
If I convert the dynamic disk to a fixed disk will that resolve the issue?
Any advice / information would be appreciated.
Regards
Niall

Hi Niall,
Generally , the dynamic VHD won't grow up after getting its MAX size .
I assume the 50GB usage increasement a day happens to CSV .
Please try to check the shadow copy settings :
Open "computer management" -->right click " shared folders " --> all tasks --> configure shadow copies --> settings
Then you can change the max size for shadow copy on that CSV disk (you may set this on the owner node )

CS4 "make layers same size" Syntax Error 8

Using Photoshop CS4 on a Mac with 10.6.8. I am working with a file that has several individual portraits as separate layers. All the portraits are approximately the same size, but I want to make them the exact same size (325 pixels by 325 pixels, not that it matters).
I tried highlighting several of the layers, then going to FILE > Scripts > "Make all selected layers the same size"
I have limited photoshop knowledge, and have never used a script before. I've tried closing and re-opening photoshop (my only technical knowledge: restart?!). I also tried googling the error, to no avail.
I have never used scripts...and have definitely never tried to change any scripts within Photoshop. Any specific ideas on how I can fix this would greatly be appreciated (and please remember that I'm still a beginner at this)
Thanks in advance!

Database Size Incresing Fastly

In our Database ,Their only one master Table and 250 tables r logically connected to that master table.
Only master table contains Primary Kye.
So we are doing Indexing daily for faster performace.
Before some days database size is 10 gb and now it is 50 gb and the Database size is till incresing fastly.
I am not able to find out the problem that why database size incresing fastly.
And even i m not able find out logical connection between the table.
I have done shriking and re - indexing but still i m not able to resolve the problem.
How can i analyse that why database is incresing....
I m using SQL Server 2005.......

I have not had any experience in getting any devices repaired so I'm not sure which store to resort to. An official Apple store should more than likely get you what you need, but I'm guessing it's probably more expensive. (if any cost for your situation)
I hope you get your problem resolved.

Where can I find the history in Safari? It shows only 2 days while I have saved the history for 1 month.

Hello Barbara,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you are only seeing the 2 most recent days of your web browsing history in Safari.
If you haven't tried this yet, I suggest going to History > Show All History when Safari is open to see if more sites come up. You can find this step and more information at the following link:

Can change the size of the redolog files while the database is running.

How the size of the redolog files will hurt your database performance ?
Can change the size of the redolog files while the database is running in oracle 9i. ?
What will be its impact on the standby database ?
Thanks in advance.

redo logs that are too small can cause waits on the switches for heavily utilized systems. logs that are too large are a pain the a$$ during recovery. check v$loghist to see how often switches occur - an average of 20 minutes is good; if you have many switches happening back-to-back, that's a bad sign.
you can change the sizes while the db is up. choose a redo group that is INACTIVE, drop it, delete the files, and recreate it with larger files. then force a switch ("alter system switch logfile;"), and do another inactive group. I actually prefer to do as many switches as necessary to make the new group active so I can verify that I didn't screw up before dropping the next group.
not sure of impact on standby database.

Increasing the font size of an ALV report while printing it.

The requirement is to increase the font size of an ALV report while printing it. The ALV Report is coded using the Factory method.
I could find a class called CL_SALV_ITEM with a SET_FONT method but I am not sure how to link it with the CL_SALV_TABLE class from which the display table has been created. I even tried checking the report display in SPOOL transaction SP01.But I guess the font shown there depends on the SAP GUI settings.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks and regards

The status bar is a fixed fontsize which does not change. While I have no problem reading the time off the status bar you should also have the time on the lockscreen and/or glance screen with a much larger font so I do not really see the issue.

In some cases some sites headers will run together and sometimes overlap. Other sites will just show a portion of the site in a vertical box but not the full width of the screen and I can't adjust it.

Page Size issues with Deski Reports while saving to PDF

Hi All,
While saving the Deski report as PDF, the page size changes randomly.
The workflow is:
Created a report in Deski.
-- Chekced in File | Page setup the zoom size(Fit to Print | Adjust to) is 100% and the paper size is A4.
-- Saved it as PDF.
-- In Acrobat Reader 7.0, opened the save report, the size of paper is 8.5*11, the normal paper size.
-- In the report in theFile | Page setup, changed the zoom size to anything less than 100% (e.g changed to 90%) whereas the paper size is A4.
-- Saved it as PDF.
-- In the Acrobar Reader noticed that the page size increases to some random size(e.g 9.18*12.99).
When priting the Document the printer changes the same to A4 resulting in truncating of the content.
The page size should be same but the content size should reduce.
The issue can be reproduced in 6.5 and XIR2 as well.
Is there any workaround for this that the size of the content decrease rather than increasing the page size??

Hello,
as you refer to Deski I recommend to post this query to the [BusinessObjects Desktop Intelligence|SAP BusinessObjects Desktop Intelligence; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to the creation and design of Desktop Intelligence documents such as universe connectivity, prompts, charting, formatting, filter, and formulas.It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all Desktop Intelligence queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

Ensuring my partitions are the *exact* same size

I want to partition my primary hard disk such that it has numerous partitions that are the *exact* same size. I want to be able to copy them around and onto each other (via dd) so it is imperative that every partition equal the others in size.
I've determined that I want my partition size to be 17211 MB. So I'm using fdisk to create partitions of that exact size. Namely, I wiped the partition table, then started creating partitions using the first available cylinder and using +17211M for the size. Then using the 'p' option I listed the new altered partition table and now under "blocks" the number of blocks for the new partitions is identical (16812022+, to be specific). So far so good.
However, I've run out of primary partitions and would like to jump to using an extended partition. So I created an extended partition using the rest of the disk, then used the first cylinder that the extended partition started on as the first cylinder of my next partition used +17211M for the partition size. However, this time using 'p' showed that my new partition didn't have the same number of blocks as the previous (primary) ones. This problem was solved, though, by deleting the partition and recreating it starting with the first cylinder *after* the first cylinder of the extended partition.
But, I had a problem with the next partion on the extended region. If I start it on the first available unused cylinder and make it +17211M in size, it doesn't show as having the same number of blocks as the other partitions.
I've included a terminal dump of what fdisk is showing me thus far, to help make it clear:
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sda: 81.9 GB, 81964302336 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9964 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 14 2106 16812022+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 2107 4199 16812022+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda4 4200 9671 43953840 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 4201 6293 16812022+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 6294 8386 16811991 83 Linux
It's the second partition under "Extended" that I can't get to be the right number of "blocks".
I guess I should ask, to be sure, if "blocks" even has anything to do with size. It seems like partitions with different numbers of blocks should be different in size, but is that really so? Or am I getting worked up over nothing?
Also, on the topic of blocks, what's the + after the block count from some of the partitions imply?

Nothing in specific, just general convenience. My reasons have varied over time. Back in the days of Ubuntu, upgrading from one version to another instead of performing a clean install was a game of roulette, so I'd always dd my Ubuntu partition to another drive right before I went to school for the day (even though the dd would only take about 20 minutes), then come back and upgrade. If the upgrade didn't go as smoothly as I wanted and I didn't deem it worth my time to sit and manually fix everything I'd just restore the old copy via dd (or even just use that one as my primary OS) and wait for a time I wanted to do a clean install.
A while ago I also used to backup Windows to another partition, just in case the current version became infected with something. Never happened (that I knew about, at least) so I stopped bothering.
More recently I've used it for when I'm lazy and don't want to bother undoing my steps. If I install something, configure it, do some stuff and break it, it may be faster to restore with a 20 minute dd than 30 minutes of hacking.
And I can be a bit compulsive in the organization compartment. Ever seen the TV show Monk? I'm nowhere near that bad ( ) but everytime I fdisk -l and I see unevenly-sized partitions all for the same job, I become less than pleased. I've been looking at it for a long time now, and figured I'd take some free time to fix it.
In short, nothing terribly practical, it's just somewhat convenient/organized.

How to create a 4 page pdf from images - each page should open at same size

How do I create a 4 page pdf (from 4 images - all the same size) that opens each page at full page size?
Thank you so much.
Ginger
PREVIOUS MSG:
My goal is to create multi page pdfs that are created from images (scans of old brochures). I receive images (scans of pages) all at the same size.
I have been able to create the 4 pdfs (each opens at full page size) and merge into 1 pdf. When I open that final pdf, I see a column of 4 pages, page 1 image being larger than the remaining 3. When I click on the left, page 1, icon, I get the full page. When I click on icons for pages 2 - 4, I get nothing. The only way I can get the other pages in a full page view is to adjust the scaling after left icon is selected. That is not what I want.
How I created the files.
I can either create pdf pages using Photoshop, or using Acrobat Pro itself through:
File> Create PDF> From File and adding each of the images. I then, for each, choose Properties> Initial View> Fit Page> Save. Then I use File> Combine> Merge Files into Single PDF> Save.
Then I open the multi page pdf.
I appreciate any help.
Thank you,
Ginger

It seems to me what you want to do is create one document which a combination of all four and then one page of each.
To create a Document with 4 pages combined in to one PDF. open the first in a Series the to Edit menu and click on add pages click on next document (browse to document first) the choose attach to to end of document or add to end of document. Repeat until you get all images added. They will end up (or should ) center in center of their own page. Save this document with a new name for now.
Next go back to Photo shop and reduce size of images to fit desired sheet of paper (8-1/2 by 11, 8-1/2 by 14, whatever) place them side by side and row by row so you have 4 images on one page.
now save as Pdf.
now decide which you want to swap to the Thumbnails (the 4 on one page, or 4 individual pages. I would use the thumbnails and make each a button that references the page in the document you save as a 4 page pdf that applies.
Then on that page write a line saying click each illustration to see full size image (you might have to write this line while in Photoshop) then save this as PDF file
Try out. You might have to use some javascript controls to do this. But I am not experienced in JavaScript to do this. I'm sure it cane be done.
But note you will have to save both documents with the Thumbnails and the four page and Thumbnail page in a folder and send to prospect
If you want just four separate pages in one Pdf just do first two paragraphs above

Hi, My places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB have I reached the maximum size, is there even a maximum size for this. Visited links are no longer changing color.

Hi,
My places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB have I reached the maximum size, is there even a maximum size for this.
Suddenly the visited links are no longer changing font color, as I am preparing for an exam I need visited questions to change color, to keep track of questions that I have finished. But if I delete a few days of history then again,a few more visited links change color then again it stops, so it seems something is getting full and not able to accommodate any more? Why are my visited links no longer changing color after a certain number of visits? I do have a back up of the places.sqlite file. So I have tried everything from deleting the profile, uninstalling reinstalling, creating a new profile, then copy pasting places.sqlite etc, but as mentioned after a few visits, visited links no longer change color, if I delete a few days of history then again a few visits will again change color and then stop again, so what should I increase so that my visited links quota is increased, I have also tried tweaking about:config and it has had no result. Although I was not really confident that increasing brower.history_max _pages (don't remember exact name, but I am sure you get the idea) is going to help.
Seems as though my visited links change color, quota is full and only if I delete a few days of history will I get a few more visited links to change color. Can somebody shed some light? As mentioned my places.sqlite file size is 30,720 KB so I think perhaps this has something to do with this? Would really appreciate if someone could help. Thank you.

There is no maximum for the places.sqlite database and other SQLite database files like I wrote above.<br />
All SQLite database file have fixed minimum sizes and if they run out of space they are automatically increased in size with a specific chunk size. For places.sqlite this is 10 MB for the minimum and for the chunk.

How do I keep my selections the same size when placing in another picture?

Using PSE 4, I am trying to take my head from one picture (Using the selection tool, etc) and place it in another. The problem is, whenever I try to do that, it changes sizes; gets smaller. Yesterday, I tried to take a part of larger picture and place it into a smaller picture. I tried to resize the background picture but it made the cutout I placed on top of it humungous. I just want to know, is there anyway to keep the actual size of something you cut out, and place in another picture, that same size no matter what? By the way, I have literally been using PSE 4 for 3 days. If you answer, please speak in layman's terms as much as possible. Thank You.

The size, in pixels, is staying the same. Most of the time, this is the way you should think of image size. Working in inches is only meaningful when you are about to print.
In your example, if the piece you have added is too small, select it and use Transform to make it bigger. This is upsampling, so quality may be compromised.
