Disk space decreases in VM

• My disk space decreases for no apparent reason!

  I have a Gateway with Windows Vista laptop.  I tried to clean up disk space using disk cleanup, deletion of temp. files from the Internet and even delete programs and files I don't use.  For some reason, the amount of free space on my C drive keeps getting smaller and smaller!  Is it because I have a virus download programs and taking up space?  I'm not add additional programs or files.

  For example, earlier today, I had 2 GB of free space left, and I noticed its been slowly decreasing.  I'm at 435 MB as I write this.

  Can someone help me?

  Hi John,.

  The usual culprit is the system restore. Have you tried to disable the system restore to see if you have new space that you lost? See this link from my Web site: http://www.winuser.co.uk/windows_vista_faq/11_turn_off_system_restore.html

  System Restore will have up to 15% of your disk space when creating restore points, so he can easily eat disk space on hard disks that are already full. By disabling the system restore can back space for you, once you re-enable the system restore then fresh restore points will be created (i per day) and the space will start to disappear again. Personally I disable restoring the system completely on my machine, but I don't have a regular regime of imagery of my hard drive using Acronis True Image (not free, unfortunately) just in case of problems

• Disk space decreases every day :/

  My C drive memory decreases day by day, on which I have installed windows. I did install a new application or a file downloaded, but memory decrease. What could be the problem is it due to windows updates?

  You can use Disk Cleanup to recover space on the hard drive.  Watch clean some old points system restore via disk cleanup that frees a lot of space for you.  Run the program on a regular basis, not once a year.

• Disk space decreases more than 60 GB when I open a 50 MB file.

  Hi guys,.

  Having trouble with a PS file. It takes a few minutes to open and perform all the tasks that require a lot of memory takes forever, or throws an error 'drive to work '. When he opened it takes more than 60 GB of hard drive space. It can basically not be worked on.

  There is nothing particularly remarkable about the file, as mentioned that the size of the file is 50 MB - this is a basic design of Web page which consists mainly of the text and buttons, with only a few (rasterized at 72 dpi) images. There are a lot of layers, which is the only thing I can think of that might cause the file to be slow and unresponsive.

  If anyone has experienced anything similar and has ideas on how to solve this problem, I would be very happy suddenly hand.

  Thank you

  Jack

  Thanks Trevor,

  I ended up duplicating all the layers in the problematic file into a new file, which does not help much, but a clean reinstall of the PS seems to have done the trick.

• Hard disk space problems

  I have a MacBook Pro three years, with a hard drive of 250 GB. I have about 28 GB of free space. Try to free up more space that I deleted a few thousand pictures from iPhoto are also in the picture. My photos on the hard drive space has decreased about 5 GB, but the space allocated to the 'other' has increased by a comparable amount. Why?

  I don't know but I would download and run Omni DiskSweeper. It can help you to sort out the problems of disk space and free space.

• Recovery of disk space problems.

  Whenever I run the disk cleanup on C:, the amount of available free space DECREASES immediately. Why?

  I ran the Disk Defragmenter (39 hours) and it did nothing. The c: drive was 60% fragmented before and after executing it.

  Windows 7. Acer Aspire laptop model KAWG0.

  There is malware. Had everything cleaned. Now, the system is normal.

  Thanks for all the suggestions.

• Amount of disk space available on the disk hard keeps fluctuating.

  I have a Compaq CQ2103WM-B desktop running Windows XP, hard disk Go 139.  I started to receive notices of high memory use, began to receive notices of disk space is low. I ran the cleaning disc several times, it has been very slow, constantly showing only 2 bars, sometimes for hours. He finally released the space and I have deleted several programs and files, emptied the trash. After a few minutes the amount of free space started going down again. For several days, I kept repeating this process, but keep decreases the amount of free space on the disk. Now, it fluctuates to the amount of free space on the disk every few minutes. I downloaded and ran CCleaner, it frees up space and again it has disappeared in a few minutes. He got so low that I can't watch videos, use system restore, download other software or software upgrades (like Norton), cannot download pictures from my camera or save files in programs such as Corel Draw. Right now is 3.97 MB free space, he went down in the KBs, sometimes it goes up, but it changes even if I do nothing. I scanned for viruses and malware, Norton managed to reach space, but it lasted only a few minutes. I don't know anything else to try. Would it be a software problem, the malware that Norton cannot detect, the hardware, or if my system has been hacked and someone uses free space on my computer? Any information would be appreciated.

• Why my drive C space decreasing 4 to 6 GB per day?

  I check the free space on my C drive on a daily basis, and I noticed that the free space decreases every day 4 to 6 GB. I started with 829 free 931 GB and now I'm at 785 GB free of 931 today. Can anyone explain why and what I can do about it?

  Hello

  This free program allows you to see what is taking place.

  http://www.Jam-software.com/treesize_free/

  And the system restore will take up to 15% of the capacity of your hard disk by default.

  931GBs x 15% is 139.65GBs.

  In addition, you have the operating system, Service Packs, updates, Windows, your installed programs, etc., etc.

  See you soon.

• Hard disk space is down on its own without adding files or programs.

  original title: reduction of disk space

  My hard disk space is down without my add files or programs. I deleted the files, and after a while, I get the message that I'm out of space disk yet. I ran the windows disk cleaner, but the question is not what I need more disk space - is my drive space decreases continuously. For example, yesterday I got 4.89 GB free, today, I 4.80 - without adding anything to my computer. Any suggestion for what can happen and how to fix this?

  Another minor issue I have is that sometimes windows does not start correctly and I can't open any programs after implementation - in this case, I just restart and it works usually then. Don't know which is related to the question of good memory, but maybe it is?

  I am running Windows Vista Business SP2 on a Lenovo Thinkpad X 61.

  Thank you!

  Sounds like you have * something * create journals. Try a number of things, first off this program to see if you can find out where your space is being taken.

  Once you find out where to try and understand what is the cause. You can consider that you have some kind of virus/malware on your computer. Try to run Malwarebytes in safe mode and see what he says.

• VMWare EsXi 5.1.0 disk space

  Hello

  I have the following situation. A VM server EsXi 5.1.0 with two virtual machines.

  A virtual machine has two virtual disks of type thick lazy disposition to zero.

  The bootdrive is 1 hard disk drive HDD 2 data. From 1 to 80 GB hard drive put in service then the hard drive 2 has 120 GB put in service. I managed to increase the 80 GB with 10 GB drive because there was still space available in the data store so 2 months ago, I increased to 90 GB drive has worked perfectly.

  In the operating system on drive C (disc 1) I had only 3 GB of free again so I need more space, so that the data drive (disc 2) had 30 GB of free space.

  I thought when I decrease disk 2 with 10 GB and disk increase 1 with 10 GB of all be good. In the VSphere client, I edited the disksspace, but I noticed that I could not reduce the disk 2?

  Also, I could not return my settings? So now on the virtual computer will not boot and I get error ' not enough space on the data store.

  Can I return my settings and get the disc about the size of the 'old '?

  Thank you

  Jeffken

  Reduce a virtual disk is unfortunately not supported in the GUI (and the CLI). In order to decrease the size, you can use VMware Converter for example.

  Anyway, what you can do to be able to turn on the virtual computer as soon as possible - assuming that the host is not part of a cluster and you have not enough memory - is to put a reserve of memory for the virtual machine. The disk space required for the virtual machine swap file, which is created once the virtual machine is running - is equal to the amount of provisioned VM memory minus the reserved memory. So if you change this setting in order to reserve any memory, the paging file will not require any disk space.

  Note that with very low available space on the data store, you can run into issues when you create snapshots!

• Snapshot Consolidation with a low disk space options

  After you delete all snapshots for a specific virtual machine, I am alerted that drives require codification, probably because it has insufficient disk space to successfully delete the snapshots. Of course, consolidation fails because of lack of space. I wonder if there are tricks to be able to consolidate records when the data store does not have enough space. So far I came up with the following options, but some are not ideal, I am looking for other suggestions:

  -Increase the size of the data store: not ideal because the data store will have more than enough space once the snapshots are deleted and it is difficult to decrease after the fact.

  -Storage vmotion the disks in another larger data temporarily store: a little better but not ideal due to the large amount of data

  -Stop the virtual machine and try to consolidate: I read that additional disk space is needed to consolidate the disk while the VM is running. If this is the case, how can I be sure that it works, for example to calculate the required space before I incur the failure (see below for more information).

  For each of these options, I am also looking for assistance calculating the space needed to consolidate properly, given the following information (let me know if further info is needed):

  

  

  According to the information provided, it seems that you use thin configured virtual disks. In this case the additional disk space required to consolidate snapshots could be anything up to the size/amount of snapshots, limited by the provisions of the virtual disk size less the current size of the hard file. If you consolidate snapshots, while the virtual machine is up and running, with the disk space required on the data store based on the changes made in the guest OS, while the Helper-Snapshot is active. Unfortunately, there is no available for this formula.

• How to free up disk space for the database file

  Hi experts BDB.

  I use bdb4.6.21 transaction Btree access method, found that after vacuum db db-> truncate, the size of the db file has changed. How to free up disk file db space? It can be configured?

  Thank you

  Min

  Hi Min,

  What Mike says is that you do not expect that the empty space after an operation of truncation (for example a delete or update that empties a page) in the database (empty pages) to return to the file system and therefore to see the physical file size decreases.

  The next section of the documentation explaining this: required disk space

  Space released by removing the key/data pairs in a Btree database or Hash is never returned in the file system, even if it is reused when possible. This means that the databases Btree and hash are to develop alone. If enough key is deleted from a database which shrinks the underlying file is desirable, use the DB-> compact() method to recover disk space. Alternatively, you can create a new database and copy the folders of the former into it.

  
  

  So, as Mike suggested, you can dump and reload the data into a new database, or copy data from the existing/old database to a new (to remove the old database and rename a new one the old name), or you can try to compact the database using the method compact().

  If you use compact(), then in order to force the return of empty for the file system pages when possible, use the DB_FREE_SPACE flag and try to avoid using an explicit transaction (use a NULL tnxid pointer, so this BDB will use internally of several transactions that will be engaged periodically to avoid locking large sections of the tree).

  When you use the compaction in order to free up space and return pages from database empty in the file system that it is generally recommended to repeat Compact with a value low 'compact_fillpercent '.  In addition, the following output statistics fields in the structure DB_COMPACT, compact_pages_truncated and compact_pages_free should be examined to determine if there is a point, continuing to run the compaction with the same compact_fillpercent.  If the values are strict positive it is then compact() calling again with the same compact_fillpercent (and specify the DB_FREE_SPACE flag).  The compact algorithm allows a single pass on the pages of the database;  pages so not empty at the end of the file will prevent the free pages (which are placed on the free list) to be returned to the file system.

  Kind regards

• msg.hbacommon.outOfSpace:There is reached for disk virtual server_1 - 000008.vmdk.  You may be able to continue this session by freeing up disk space on the partition relevant, clicking Retry

  Hello

  
  I've seen various threads on this topic but have not found a resolution or explanation that fits my specific scenario.

  
  I have an ESXi 4 server connected to a San (700 GB) with 1 virtual machine on that (Exchange 2010).   The virtual machine, I created has 4 discs, 50GB for the OS, 2 240 GB for database drives and 1 100 GB drive for newspapers.  In the operating system, each partition shows that I have a lot of space.  Last night, I'm moving on our Exchange 2003 Server mailboxes when all of a sudden I get this error message and stop the server:

  msg.hbacommon.outOfSpace:There is reached for disk virtual server_1 - 000008.vmdk.  You may be able to continue this session by freeing up disk space on the relevant partition, and then click Retry.  Otherwise, click Cancel to end this session.  Try again / Stop

  Retry reproduced the error... Stop stop the virtual machine.

  After I stop, I look in the client vsphere under hardware > storage > SAN where the disc is, and I find that I'm out of space.

  Now, I created multiple snapshots I could fall back on since when I was doing the initial setup of the Exchange.  I deleted a large number of people and got up to about 50 GB of free space showing on the SAN.  However, this number is declining slowly.

  Now, when I created the virtual machine, I configured the ramdisks to be of a certain size already (50 GB, 240 GB, etc.).  How is it that adding data (moving the mailbox) using more space than what is already assigned to the virtual disks?  This will become a huge problem that I have several other mailboxes to move and I thought that I had already allocated to the space I need.

  Why is that when the server is just sitting there.  Available free space decreases?  It has something to do with the type of disc that I created? (Thickness)

  Could someone please explain why this is happening and, more important still, how can I stop it without having to do anything too drastic?

  Hello.

  "I have an ESXi 4 server connected to a San (700 GB) with 1 virtual machine on that (Exchange 2010).   The virtual machine, I created has 4 discs, 50GB for the OS, 2 240 GB for database drives and 1 100 GB drive for newspapers.  In the operating system, each partition shows that I have a lot of space. »

  You have created 630 GB of thick disks on a 700 GB of data store.  Thick disks use this allocated space, no matter what operating system did with them in terms of use. Yes GB 630 thickness = 630 GB used space on the data store.

  "Last night, I'm moving on the mailboxes of our Exchange 2003 server, when all of a sudden I get this error message and stop the server:

  You still snapshots (as you also mentioned) on this virtual machine as well.  With only 70 GB of free space on the data store, the snapshots are defintely going to be able to fill the volume in short order.

  «Now, when I created the virtual machine, I configured the ramdisks to be of a certain size already (50 GB, 240 GB, etc.).»  How is it that adding data (moving the mailbox) using more space than what is already assigned to the virtual disks? »

  When you create the snapshot, a new drive is created that will get all new disk writes.  So to copy a large number of mailboxes will use a lot of space quickly.

  "Why is that when the server is just sitting there."  Available free space decreases?  It has something to do with the type of disc that I created? (Thick) »

  Thick is using space, and convert it into thin disks may help to varying degrees - depending on the amount of writes.  It is above all the snapshots of the origin of the problem, or at least it's where you can focus your attention to solve this.

  "Could someone please explain why this is happening and, more important still, how can I stop it without having to do anything too drastic?"

  Remove snapshots and/or move this virtual machine to a data store greater would be the simpler of two corrections.

  Good luck!

• Find the largest tables (disk space) in a database

  Our problem: customers who have problems that we cannot recreate are asked to export their data as a dmp and then we download the dmp to investigate to import locally and to implement were the problem is.
  Some customer data sets are too large to download (3-4 GB - I know that this shouldn't be a problem but some customers have very slow connection speeds and it would take a lifetime).
  To work around this, they put on a DVD and send (which takes a few days).
  The thing is, that these data sets are probably around 400 MB with a table showing the rest with blobs (and this table is probably not the cause of the problem). So indeed, we can it exclude from the export.
  
  What we want to achieve:
  There are potentially some of these tables that could be large so we would like to produce a script to determine which tables are the largest disk space. We then (if the problem that the customer experiences is nothing to do with these tables) will not include these export on the DMP. Which means we can get their faster data and subsequently solve their problem in a shorter time.
  
  Where to start any help will be much appreciated. We use db 10g

  You can query s/n | WHERE user_segments, ordered by decreasing bytes.
  http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/statviews_4097.htm#REFRN23243

         where owner  = user
         order by bytes desc
