• Use of root for the system volume is 95%, var/ftp uses all

  Hello

  I have a ReadNas 102 and lately I have these error messages using the root of the system volume is 95%. After checking the files/var, I noticed that desired used all available space. I had FTP enabled for some files and it seems that the content of these files is copied to the folder var/ftp.

  Perhaps a matter of newbe 'stupid', but is - it normal that this folder/var/ftp is totally used.

  Second question: How can I safely remove the content of this file/var/ftp?

  Thanks in advance,

  Hello.
  The ibdata1 still growing is not a ReadyNAS problem, but a problem of MySQL, may be triggered or worsened by track LogAnalyzer to commit requests.
  There is a lot of discussion online about this. But it seems that there is no easy solution to reduce its size.
  An example of thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3456159/how-to-shrink-purge-ibdata1-file-in-mysql
  If you don't use it, I suggest delete LogAnalyzer and mysql-server.

• Cannot delete the System Volume Information trash

  I am running Windows xp on a Dell computer and I recently removed the System Volume Information folder on an external hard drive after the deactivation of the restoration of the system for this drive.  I don't remember how it happened, but the said folder ended up in the trash.  Now every time that I try to empty the trash, I get an error message indicating that access to the file is denied and it cannot be deleted.  I can see the folder in the trash, but I can restore it or delete it.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Thanks for your reply. I tried both of your suggestions, but unfortunately none of them allowed me to remove the stubborn system folder.  I had to start the computer in Mode safe, gives me full control over the folder to the trash (even though I am the administrator) and then finally was able to remove it. For some reason any Security tab does not appear when you talk about the Properties dialog box, unless you are using safe mode.

• How to reset the System Volume Information folder?

  I would like to know how to reset the System Volume Information folder to empty all the potential viruses.

  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions :>

  

  I use cleanmgr /sagerun:1 of the dialog box run when you use a switch.

  However, I usually just use these instructions.

• Can I remove random photos in the system volume information?

  I understand very well this file.  I rarely restore, but sometimes I do.  The problem is that some files, aka viruses that have been removed, take place that I prefer to use for something else, aka my plans f #.  Can I delete random files in this folder?  I understand that I can remove the control panel restore point, but I want only to remove a specific file.  In fact, I don't know if this file is the file that I want to delete because of all the file names.  I made fair carsick enter this folder.  I want to just delete large files.  So the question is simply: is there something important it?

  System Restore uses log files to keep track of things, if you try to restore a point and System Restore detects that which is missing files or that it has been tampered with the restore point will fail.  Bert Kinney, one of the greatest experts on the restoration of the system, explains that the individual restore points can not be removed because... "Each restore points is chained (or related) as well as the previous restore points." When you choose to restore a system all him previous restore point are required to perform a restore, so if one is missing the chain will be broken and cause all the restore points are corrupt. At this point, all restore points will have to correct the corruption. So the best advice is DON'T touch the content of the System Volume Information folder. " http://bertk.mvps.org/html/Tips.html#8

  If you removed a virus if the deletion was successful and the system now works fine the best thing to do is to purge ALL restore points after having removed the virus successfully.

  You're overthinking this and you're too attached to restore points, if the computer is running well at the moment and if it has been so for a week or two then you can get rid of and then restore points create a new.  Set maximum disk usage that is suitable for the points of restore and you will recover some of your disk space for another use.

  In his blog Raymond says that 'folder contains casual interference could cause problems with the correct operation of the information system.  It could, but not necessarily cause problems.  For all its value, you can disable the system restore and other services that might use the IVR (indexing, Volume Shadow Copy & Distributed Link Tracking Service) (services that you might not use anyway) and then delete the entire folder, Windows simply creates a new brilliant when you restart!  Then when you restart the system restore or other services that use the folder they will just repopulate the record with their files.  People who make use of indexing service will generally not want to clear the folder because it takes a lot of "disk churning" to build a large catalog of indexation.

• Microsoft Windows Vista: Rebuild the system volume information folder

  Greetings to everyone.

  (1) the Crypto ransomware locker has done the thing is on a friends laptop last week. This is a laptop HP DV900 Microsoft Windows Vista. Unfortunately, we have re-installed Vista, from the recovery partition, before attempting to restore the system, using the system restore. It is my understanding that the system volume information folder, contains files, such as excel and word files, which can be restored, but they are stored by Vista, in a special encrypted way.

  If I could get it back or if I got the complete information system volume, would be possible to replace the current and to restore the system to a time before the ransomware hit?

  (2) in fact, I've used a file recovery program and was able to recover a huge file with the name:

  {11d89a13-09a9-11e4-9917-cb6a370b41f2} {3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}

  This file is approximately 1.99 GB, and is dated on 17/07/2014. I suspect that the virus deployed on 18/07/2014 as the most important Excel and word files have the date of last modification of 18/07/2014. And those files that have changed on the 18/07/2014 cannot be open - unless I have change the extensions of excel to .csv file, in which case excel files open, but the info is still obviously encrypted.  OK, so I have the part of the system volume information folder content, which seem to be of the part that contains the files there, as this is a fairly large file.

  My question is this: is a reconstruction of the folder system volume information, based on this possible of the file? In other words, using this file I have cancelled/recovered, can we restore Vista from this file?

  Thank you for your time.

  You cannot use the system restore to recover files from the user.  Restore points would be zero because of the new facility.  Update of installation dates would be irrelevant as well as software installations.  The new installation files will take precedence.

• Windows 7: what are the individual "file system type" files in the system volume information folder?

  Original title: Windows 7: what are the individual "file system type" files in the folder system volume information accumulating [not the files system restore I already know and don't use yet]

  Hi-

  I stopped using the system restore, I found a better solution, for me, that's what I have to do.
  Then I noticed that several 'file system' 'type' was being created, 12 times yesterday, 3 up to today in the early hours of the morning and stored in they System Volume Information folder, anywhere from 30 MB to 2 GB.
  three of these file names 'file system' 'type' are:
  {debb21da-eafc-11e2-ba92-00241dc5d84e} {3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}

  Anyone know what it could be?
  Can I follow up to what program/process they are related?
  Are they safe to delete?
  Ideas?  Suggestions?
  Thank you.

  Hi John,.

  Yes, you can delete the system volume information data if not to use the system restore.

  You will need to give permission to the folder until you delete it.

• Help, please - could not find the system volume, reconfiguration is not possible.

  No, do not all repair with VSS, because his race for your C: drive

  Now the main question: your firmware from the computer's BIOS or EFI (or EFI running in emulation of the BIOS)?

  Why I ask: when converter trying to reconfig machine (data is already copied) we found information BCD in place where it is stored to * EFI * machines, seems that it is false BCD and the converter cannot remedy this situation...

  As a workaround, you can locate on your source disk folder named EFI (C:\EFI) and rename or delete. (if somehow that this is related with PGP the best choice is to rename the folder).

  Then repeat the conversion.

  Hello

  I'm trying to virtualize a physical machine to my VMware infrastructure. I success to another machine, but this time it crashes.

  Here are the features:

  Software: Client VMware Converter standalone 4.0.1

  Machine: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise with Exchange 2003 SP1

  Disks: 2 * 80 GB drives used in RAID 1 software mirror (2 partitions C: & D: cross the two discs)

  VMware farm: ESXi 4.1

  Configuration of the converter: http://image.bayimg.com/faackaadc.jpg

  I try to convert the machine but I get the following message "FAILED: could not find the system volume, reconfiguration is not possible." 95 per cent at the stage of reconfiguration (he create only a single vmdk).

  My research, it is likely due to software mirror, implying to dynamic disks.

  But I must not modify the physical machine, I have to migrate the computer because it is unchanged.

  A machine appears in vCenter. When I started it, it does not start. With QParted, I activated the flag of "boot". Now the machine starts, but I immediately get a blue screen even in safe mode. ( http://image.bayimg.com/faacaaadc.jpg )

  I've added the vmdk to another machine, and run diskmgmt.msc to convert dynamic disk to basic disk, but he saw disc base already.

  Initial configuration of the drives here: http://image.bayimg.com/eaacoaadc.jpg

  Attached files: boot.ini and newspapers

  What can I do to convert my machine?

  Thank you and sorry for my English

  I try to convert the machine but I get the following message "FAILED: could not find the system volume, reconfiguration is not possible." 95%, stage of Reconfiguration (it has created only a single vmdk).

  According to my research, it is probably due to the software mirror, which created from dynamic disks.

  Alternatively, in I am not touching the physical machine, I have to migrate the machine what without changing.

  A machine appears well in vCenter, when I start, it does not start. With QParted I activated the 'boot' flag The machine boot now, but I get a blue screen immediately, same en safe mode. ( http://image.bayimg.com/faacaaadc.jpg )

  I added the vmdk on another machine, with diskmgmt.msc I wanted to convert the dynamic disk to basic disk, but he was already seen as a basic disk.

  Here is the initial configuration of the discs: http://image.bayimg.com/eaacoaadc.jpg

  What can I do pour machine to convert my?

  Thank you

  Have you tried

  Try the option "set up the machine" of the converter against the vmx file that you already have.

• Could not locate the system volume

  I have a very similar problem that has been published before; However, the posted solution worked.

  I can't find in the newspapers, what is actually wrong.  If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

  "Then the conversion of a server to ESX 3.5 Server 2003 I received this message after only 95% complete.". Failure of the Reconfiguration of the error. With the State: FAILED: could not find the system volume, reconfiguration is not possible.

  I use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 4.0.1"

  Newspapers reported the following errors (which are equivalent):

  Impossible to reconfigure a source that doesn't have a system volume

  converter.fault.ReconfigurationNoSystemVolumeFault

  It seems that there are 2 physical disks in the system

  > Drive:
  . \PhysicalDrive0 a type of adapter: 1

  > Drive:
  . A type of adapter \PhysicalDrive1: 1

  Converter is to see the C:\ as long as the system volume, but there is no active flag set on it.  The second disc is recognized, but according to it's Converter:

  > is a dynamic volume. No significant partition information may be associated with him

  So, it looks like there's a mirror of software on the source physical system or the original system was dual boot between something like Windows 2008 and 2003 Server.

  If it's a mirror of the software, you can:

  -remove the mirror and conversion

  -Use gparted on the virtual machine to set start-up/active at the first vmdk file flags, and then reconfigure the virtual machine via converter

  If it is a dual-boot configuration, then I do not think that it is supported.

  Kind regards

• How to reduce the volume of alerts in FF when using webmail without lowering the system volume (Mac)?

  I use Mac OS 10.6.8.
  When I access my webmail via Firefox, I get a Twitter hard whenever I have send or receive a new email.
  I contacted my ISP (Optimum) and they said tell Firefox to my computer to make the sound. They say that they have no control over it.
  I tried to reduce the volume of alerts in my system prefs, but it has not affected the volume of FF.

  How reduce or disable volume in FF when using webmail without lowering system volume?

  Thank you!!! The 'sound' button off in their preferences. Fixed. (It was so freakin ' fort!)

  I, in turn, chatted with Service to customer of Optimum and tells them that they must tell their supervisor to better educate their own service to the customer, instead of passing the ball. We'll see.

  Let contributors Mozilla smart to not return the ball.

• How to defragment the system disk?

  On my HP Windows 7 computer, the system drive access to the Disk Defragmenter tool showed a growing fragmentation since I bought the computer about 14 months ago. Despite the warning that only discs which can be defragmented appear, the entrance to the system drive refuses to defrag (all other defrag properly). The system drive now shows fragmentation of 26%, so there is obviously files being written and rewritten on this subject. Unless I'm missing something, the reader certainly require defragmentation. But how to do?

  [snip]

  I also use Diskeeper 2010 (version Professional first) and it keeps all my system files defragmented - I don't know it would deal with the problems you encounter (you can try a fully functional version for 30 days to see what it will do for you).

  It is very reliable and I have never had any problems with it whatsoever (the company has been around for a long time and they have great technical support if necessary).

  In my opinion, it's the best defragmentation solution available because it runs in the background (so you can use the computer while it defrags) and it also prevents the fragmentation. I suggest you to get the test and try - you can learn more about it at http://www.diskeeper.com/

  There is a free offer here for the full Pro first 2011 version of Diskeeper. [Edit - the last of the free copies are spoken for.]
