Volume size or disk capacity reached

Hi Guruz,
I am having 4.6C on Oracle 8i.I schedule offline redo log back up daily as and when required.Everything is working fine.Though there is enough free space in the drive where the backup should be taken following warning is being encountered:

<b>BR019W Volume size or disk capacity reached - not all offline redo log files will be saved</b>
Backup is succesful with errors.I want to know why this is happening???I s there any formulla to calculate how many logs it can process???
Thanks in advance.

Volume size and Capacity size Don't match

Hello,
I have a fileshare running Windows 2008 R2 that has a Dynamic Disk that is 1670.78 GB formatted NTFS. The problem is if I look at the properties of the volume it says that the capacity is 987 GB. I'm not sure how to get the capacity up to the
full size of the volume.
The histry is we had a 2003 x64 file share that started life as a scratch place to store files so was RAID 0, according to the original specs for the project that was what they wanted. After time passed the share became permenant storage and loosing
it was actually a problem. At that point I wanted to make it RAID 5. However I also was hoping to keep the Shadow Copies to enable them to find previous versions of files so I ended up creating an iSCSI target and mirroring them through windows,
which made a full backup including the copies. I then broke the mirror rebuilt the RAID and then re-mirrored to the new volume. However becuase of going from RAID 0 to 5 I lost some space so had to resize the volume. I used a 2008 R2 machine
to shring the volume and then raised the capacity back up to the full size. However the space available never actually grew.
At that point I figured the problem was from the machine still running 2003 R2 and having been touched by a 2008 R2 machine. So I scheduled an upgrade and the server is now running 2008 R2, however I am still missing 600GB.
I can't expand the Volume at this point since there is no free space on the disk, and if I try to shrink the volume I get the option of how much to shrink, then after saying ok I get the error: "The parameter is incorrect."   When I look in the
Application Log I see an error saying the volume wasn't defragmented because an error was encountered. "The parameter is incorrect. (0x80070057)"
Please let me know any suggestions or if there is any additional information that would be helpful.
Thank you,
Eric

Create Notification for Cluster Share Volume Disk Capacity

I am new to System Center Operations Manager but am slowly learning. We are running SCOM 2012 R2 and I want to get notifications when there are issues in our 2012 Hyper-V Cluster, specifically when the free space on our CSVs gets below
100 GBs. I have a notification channel setup and I am receiving notifications on other issues on monitored servers as they occur. I have imported the Cluster, Core OS and Windows Server OS management packs which have enabled me to see in Monitoring
> Microsoft Windows Server > Performance > Cluster Share Volume Disk Capacity the Free Space for the CSVs in a graph, now what do I need to do so I can get a notification when the free space on our CSVs gets below 100 GBs or whatever other
level I want to set it at? Thanks.

Hi WSUAL2,
Have you created a separate Subscription for Disk alerts? Please refer below link for "How to configure notifications".
http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2012/04/28/opsmgr-2012-configure-notifications.aspx
In your case, you need to select the respective Cluster Disk monitor while creating new Subscription.
Check mark this --> "Created by specific Rule or Monitor"
Before that make sure that you are getting alert in console. By seeing Alert Details, you can find the correct Rule/Monitor name.

Volume size information wrong

I think I found a concerning problem freeing large spare files.
After creating and removing a handful of sparse 200GB files (VirtualBox volumes), Finder is quite wrongly showing:
Capacity: 499.42
Available: 655.65
statfs is showing something more sane:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused Mounted on
/dev/disk0s2 465Gi 223Gi 242Gi 48% 58462482 63465747 48% /
inode counts seem to add up too.
neither fsck nor Disk Utilities are showing any problems with this volume. Obviously, a free count is badly wrong somewhere (does Mac OS use unmap on SSD volumes?)
So while the spare files existed, the Finder information was sane, showing a disk usage reflecting the actual allocation size (not spare file size). Upon deleting the files, the available count surpased the total volume size. I think somewhere between HFS+, SATA unmap and the SSD itself there's a potentially bad problem. My fear is at some point, used blocks are going to wrongly show up mapped into what the filesystem thinks is free space.
Had anyone else seen this?
I'll be restoring from Time Capsule as soon as I can.

"Size" and "size on disk" show a very low number in 2012 Standard

I have a file server (now based on 2012) with TBs os data em milhlions of files
But the measurements are a little weird
In Server 2008 it´s fine, but in the 2012:
2008: Size, Size on disk e number os objects
2,95 TB (3.246.142.716.345 bytes)
3,00 TB (3.309.781.366.189 bytes)
1.735.570 Files, 239.194 Folders
2012 (it´s a replcia without the thumbs.db files, Size, Size on disk e number os objects)
2,95 TB (3.246.111.324.601 bytes)
>> - 24,4 GB (26.261.053.440 bytes) << --
1.735.569 Files, 239.194 Folders

I found another thread in the fórum with a theory and makes sense to me.
The effectiveness of the deduplication is in average 54% (in this particular case) and most of the data is considered to be "inside" the "system volume information" wich is excluded in the counting, therefore, no data appears to be in the volume because
most of the data is subject to be analyzed and "Moved" os changed by the deduplication process.

How the Performance data depends on Number of CPU/ RAM size/ Hard Disk size

Hi,
I have started Performance testing (web test and Load tests) using VSTS 2012. I was analysing the VSTS results summary page.
I could not find a way by which we can find a co-relation between the Performance Result data Impacted by Server's Configuration such as
1- # of CPUs /Cores
2- RAM size
3- Hard Disk capacity
Could you help me out if we can reach to a point, through which we can say that, For eg - the Server Performance can be improved if we increase any of the dependent hardware configuration and Also, How the Hardware configuration impacts the Performance.
Thanks.
Thanks, Anoop Singh

The results show the performance with the hardware and software configuration
when the test is run. The results may show that some parts of the configuration are lightly loaded (and hence have plenty of spare capacity) whereas other parts are heavily loaded (and hence may be limiting the system performance).
To see the effect of changing the hardware or software configuration would need running exactly the same test with that changed configuration. Then the results of the two (or more) different runs can be compared. Microsoft has some details on how
to compare load test results. See

I need help on my MacBook Pro. Recently I've deleted another partition of my disk from the disk utility and I found out that my disk capacity wasn't get into the normal one which is 750GB. Meanwhile I installed window 7 into the partition disk.

I need help on restoring my disk capacity back to normal. I installed window 7 into the partition disk through bootcamp and I deleted it from disk utility. After I erase the partition disk,I get my capacity to 499GB but not 750GB. Do I need to reinstall my MacBook or something to do with the restoring?

You shouldn't do it. You have to erase the Windows volume with Boot Camp Assistant, so it will restore the space onto the OS X volume and that volume will have 750 GB.
As you did it with Disk Utility, you have to resize your OS X partition manually:
1. Open Disk Utility, select your hard disk at the top of the sidebar, and go to Partition tab.
2. You will see a bar with Macintosh HD. You have to click it at the bottom right corner and drag it to the end of the bar, so Macintosh HD will use all the space of the hard drive, and press Apply.
3. Close Disk Utility and your OS X partition will have 750 GB

Why do my files not add up to used disk capacity?

OS 10.3.x, G4 powermac.
Main disk
This is not a small difference ( block usage, 1024 vs 1000 bytes etc)
I have a hard disk, capacity ~35GB
If i add up the folders, its roughly 18-19 GB
It shows 28.8 GB used, 7 GB free
Huh?
I have launched tinkertool and looked for large hidden folders and files. There are none.
FYI, the original disk had tghe same problem ; i used CCC to clone it to this one and it reoccured, even after a completre, clean copy to a newly partitioned disk. For the record the disk does have two partitions, both HFS+/J.
Thanks,
Grant

Yes, it can be confusing. It happens because restricted folders are automatically reported as size zero, as I mentioned.
In my own system, I have a large user account which I'll abbreviate as "d", and two very small user accounts named "j" and "t". When I am logged into the small "t" account, the main /Users folder is reported as only 1.14 GB. The "d" home folder is reported as 101MB, although it is actually very large. All its main subfolders have red badges and are reported as size zero:
However when I am logged into the large "d" account, the /Users folder is now reported as 131.95GB and the "d" home folder is 131.19GB. The "d" subfolders are now accessible, and their true sizes are shown:
wrongly report the contents to the root admin?
Actually there are several levels of user privileges, and your admin account is not "root". The true "root" user is sometimes called the "superuser", and is not constrained by permission restrictions. Had you actually logged in as root, all the numbers would have added up correctly. The "root" account is disabled by default, though, and should never be used unless you know exactly what you are doing. A mistake while logged in as root could destroy your system.

Folder Size Exceed Disk Size

I am using Western Digital 2TB external HDD for Time Machine backup for 3 Mac. The remaining disk space now is 733GB. I am confused that one of the backup folder occupy more than 2TB. And the other 2 folders are still calculating since I started about 6 hours ago.
My 2 questions are:
1) Why the folder size is 3.13TB which is more than the physical size of the harddisk
2) Why it is taking such a long time to compute the disk space for the other two folder

Hi,
Actually, it may be a display error, anyway I would record this issue.
Although, I would give you some short description about this issue.
Files would have two properties about size:
Size: is the actual size of the file in bytes.
Size on disk: is the actual amount of space being take up on the disk.
I believe Windows Explorer is invoking GetCompressedFileSize function to retrieves the actual number of bytes of disk storage used to store a specified file. If the file is located on a volume that supports compression and the file is
compressed, the value obtained is the compressed size of the specified file.
We can see everything works well in Windows 8 and previous versions. To prove this is a misread issue, let’s use GetCompressedFileSize function to see if we can retrieve the right value of compressed file size.
Here is the first picture in Windows 8:
The second is in Windows 8.1, but we use PowerShell script to retrieve the right value:
About the whole process, you can refer to this article:
Get the size of a file on disk
http://www.powershellmagazine.com/2013/10/31/pstip-get-the-size-of-a-file-on-disk/
GetCompressedFileSize function
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa364930(v=vs.85).aspx
So, I think it just don't read the compressed file size successfully, so it use the "Size" value directly to calculate the Size on disk.
Hope this could make it clear.

Solsitce volume size showned lesser by metastat cmd then the actul size

Hi,
I formatted disk and labeled as EFI disk. The partition table looks as below after formatting
Part Tag Flag First Sector Size Last Sector
0 usr wm 8242 1011.96MB 2080733
1 unassigned wm 0 0 0
2 unassigned wm 0 0 0
3 unassigned wm 0 0 0
4 unassigned wm 0 0 0
5 unassigned wm 0 0 0
6 usr wu 34 4.01MB 8241
8 reserved wm 2080734 8.00MB 2097117
And then I created the solsitce volume as below,
metainit d95 1 1 c3t3d1s0
If we see the size slice "0" above, its 1011.96MB ~= 2 072 491 blocks.
When I ran the metastat on d95 volume i got following output,
d95: Concat/Stripe
Size: 2064384 blocks (1008 MB)
Stripe 0:
Device Start Block Dbase Reloc
c3t3d1s0 0 No
Here, it shows size as 1008MB (2064384).
When I created the volume with one complete disk, y didnt whole disk used by the solstice volume?
If I format the disk with vtoc and create the volume then whole disk will be given to the volume and even sizes will be shown properly. Then why not with volume on EFI disk?
Thanks,
Praveen

THANKS a lot - The size allocation is resolved now :-) Please see few questions, perhaps I missed to have this basic knowledege
1) How to create more than 7 partitions?
2) Slice 9 seems to be unassigned. But I am not able to allocate 9 - It says '9' is not expected as shown below:

8 boot wu 0 - 0 7.84MB (1/0/0) 16065
9 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
partition> 9
`9' is not expected.
3) How to give different names in 'Tag'?
4) How to know actually, How much size can be distributed among user defined partitions?
5) On solaris, How do we actually verify IF mirroring is in place?1) You create a really big slice and use soft partitioning. Otherwise 7 hard partitions are all you can assign.
2) That's an alternate system partition. You can't touch it and there's only 2 cylinders in it anyway.
3) There are only certain values that are legal. You generally don't adjust them.
4) Slice 2 is the entire usable space. That tells you how much you can distribute among the 7 (0,1,3,4,5,6,7) partitions/slices available to you. In your case; that's about 137 GB.
5) It isn't by default. You have to take positive actions with either Logical Volume Manager (aka Solstice Disk Suite for us old school guys) or some other form of volume manager. LVM is free with the OS and does a great job of mirroring the OS. I personally wouldn't use it for managing a form of disks; but it's perfect for the OS mirroring.

Changing Volume Size

I partitioned a disk a while back into two volumes. Now I'd like to change the volume size and it will be sort of a pain (though not completely impossible) to erase (temporarily move) the stuff on the disk. Is there a snappy utility where I can do this? I'm just reading help in the Disk Utility and it talks about combining two volumes if i don't mind erasing the stuff on the second volume, but I can't even seem to invoke that option ('partition' seems not to be a choice as help suggests).
Anyway, the second volume has a great deal of empty space and i'd love to balance it more OR just get rid of the second partition and I am hoping not to have to shuffle 100's of Gig of stuff here and there.
Please advise.
Thanks!

I'm just reading help in the Disk Utility and it talks about combining two volumes if i don't mind erasing the stuff on the second volume, but I can't even seem to invoke that option ('partition' seems not to be a choice as help suggests).
you have to select the whole drive (model, not name) to get the partition tab.
Anyway, the second volume has a great deal of empty space and i'd love to balance it more OR just get rid of the second partition and I am hoping not to have to shuffle 100's of Gig of stuff here and there.
Please advise.
Thanks!

Volume size changing?

Hi,
I'm running TM on my Mail server. Oddly when TM is switched on i get an odd pattern with the drive it's backing up. Almost like it's a log file that fills up and then resets. If TM is turned off this doesn't happen. (see below, drive in question is the Blue graph)

TM is also backing up the red graph.
The blue graph is the primary drive where the OS is installed. The red graph is on a partition which is where our Mail store is kept.
Can anyone explain why this change in volume size happens and how i stop it?
Thanks for your time.
Darren

Extend volume - Storage Pools - iSCSI - "Extend failed" // "Error extending volume: Size Not Supported"

Hi,
I've created a storage pools of 44x 1TB SAS, my storage pool name is "DAS" with 39.1TB (35.8 TB Free Space)
I have a virtual disk named "iSCSI_DFS", Simple, Thin, 20TB with 3.05 TB Allocated
I've created volumes on that disk, NTFS, Thin, Different size.
I create iSCSI VIRTUAL DISKS on those Volumes, same size (my volumes are full)
I want to "extend" my volumes size... I click on my volume, Extend Volume, enter a new size (current is 162GB so I enter 200 and select GB) and click OK
The Volume status turn to "Extend failed" with "Error extending volume: Size Not Supported"
Can you help? I need to change my volumes size...
Thx

I also could not get my partition to extend using the new Windows Server 2012 interface. Did you try to extend volume from the "computer management", "disk management" console? Get there from Administrator Tools - Computer Management. I
was able to extend my partition only from there. You need to first make sure you have available space on the disk. I had to delete an empty volume first before I was able to extend the partition. Hope this helps. Anthony :)
Thx !!
While in the Computer Management, I realised that my Disk was "Basic" and not "Dynamics", Extending using the Disk Management suggest to switch to Dynamics, and it's now working.
The error in the Server Manager should be "Unable to Extend : Your disk is Basic" or something like.
The Disk is a virtual disk on my Storage Pools.!!!

[SOLVED] Trying to understand the "size on disk" concept

Hi all,
I was trying to understand the difference between "size" and "size on disk".
A google search gave plenty of results and I thought I got a clear idea about
it.. All data is stored in small chunks of a fixed size depending on the
filesystem and the last chunk is going to have some wasted space which
will *have* to be allocated.. Thus the extra space on disk.
However I'm still confused.. When I look at my home folder, the size on disk
is more than 320 GB, where as my partition is actually less than 80 GB, so
I guess I'm missing something.. Could somebody explain to me what does
320 GB of 'size on disk' means?
Thanks a lot in advance..

Hi all,
Thank you for your replies.. My file manager is indeed pcman fm and
indeed it seems to be an issue.. In b4data's link the last post reads:

FWIW, I found the problem. (This bug is still persistent in v0.9.9.)
My (new) PCManFM bug report is here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph … tid=801864
I submitted a potential patch here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=de … tid=801866
Bottom line is that the file's block size and block count data from the file's inode wasn't being interpreted and used properly. The bug is in PCManFM, not any dependent libraries. Details are in the bug report.
Since PCManFM is highly used by the Arch community, I figured I should post an update here so that there's some record of it in our community. Hopefully this gets addressed by the developer(s) relatively soon. :-)
I guess that pretty much explains things.. And I think I did understand the 'size on disk' concept
anyway
Thanks again!

My time machine does not want to save any more the data from my powerbook 13" Snow Leopard; i get the message "Time Machine could not suppress the disk image of saving "Volumes/Time Capsule Disk/PowerBook _2011_03_21_123627 sparsebundle" What should I do?

Could that read " . . . could not access . . ."? If so, try repairing your backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
If not, or if that doesn't help, see #A1 there. Use the TM Buddy widget it details to copy and post the messages here.
