Disk utility can not create large image of drive (60 GB) on the network share

Disc Utiity (Versie 15.0 (1511.3)):

I am creating a disc from a hard disk image. I want to save the image on a Synology DS414 network share.

The share is accessible a there is no active disk quota.

I copied a large file via Finder (384 MB) to the \\partagereseau that works.

When I try to record a copy of disk sharing (60 GB), I get the following message:

Unsatisfactory area is available on "(null)" to create the NAME of diskimage. Choose another volume with at least 60 GB of available space and continue.

Summary: I can create large files on the share, but the disc utilities cannot?

Greetings Wim

384 MB is nowadays is no longer considered to be a file of "big."

You don't mention how much space is actually available on the Synology but for arguments sake, we will assume that more than 60 GB of space is available.

So in theory it should be possible to create a disk image of 60 GB (no doubt), there is enough space available. As you say there is no set of storage quotas and I'm happy to believe that. I think that the issue could be more to do with the maximum allowed size of the file, remember that I mentioned that 384 is actually not much, although some systems have a limit of 4 GB for a single file, for example FAT32 file systems have such a limit. In theory the FAT32 limit should not apply here because almost all including Synology NAS servers actually use Linux as the underlying software and so use Ext3 or Ext4 as file system, not FAT32. Same Ext2 a fortiori Ext3 or Ext4 allowing individuals will produce up to 2 TB of size which is clearly much larger than 60 GB.

Still it could be related to that question even if it is necessary as an unnecessary and artificial limit may be for example to ensure compatible with other systems using FAT32.

If you have enough space on the Mac, you could create and try to copy on the Synology, however another approach which is probably better all around is to create a "sparsebundle disk image. It's a disc image, but another type and will work around this problem because it is in fact made up of lots of all small files attached together. As that user do you see this as image a big drive, but the computer sees it as a folder full of files much smaller.

  • CyberLink recovery disk utility: can not burn to disc when you try the recovery computer

    Hi all

    Recently, my hard drive on my HP Pavilion p6674y was wiped out. I have a new hard drive installed in the computer. I created my own recovery DVDs when I bought the computer first. I started with the recovery discs and all was well until about 70% (on the 2 CD at this stage of 3) and then I got an error "0xe0ef000e.

    I then did some research and have ordered the discs of recovery from HP and then saw that I must download and burn to disc recovery disks Cyberlink utility so that the discs work. I have serious problems this CD to burn. I followed the instructions and when it is to the burning time of the installation wizard CD does not burn. It says on the wizard I'm full and there is a 'yes' 'no' and the button "Cancel". When I hit Yes the computer I currently use just restarts. I then try the disc (even if I can say that it's always empty) in my Pavilion and the checkmark never comes to the top.

    I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

    Help, please.

    Thank you

    Hello:

    This utility is not absolutely necessary.

    You only need if the HP recovery discs do not work on your new hard drive.

    I tried to run the file on Windows 8 and it wrong, then I won't be able to help you with that.

    While you wait for your drives HP recovery plant to arrive, you can make your own plain W7 installation media and use that to install W7, so at least you can use your PC.

    Here is how to do this.  My only review of the instructions is not to activate W7, unless you want to. Just skip entered the product key from the COA Microsoft sticker on your PC case.

    You have 30 days to use the program without activating it.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below. Download the Windows 7 version that is on your product (Home Premium, professional or ultimate) key to apply.  SP1 Refresh of media files are the latest ISO files.

    http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/14709-Windows-7-Digital-River-direct-links-multiple-languag...

    Use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. The link below. You need a DVD or a 4 GB flash drive using the USB compilation method.

    Use the product key of windows 7 of 25 characters to activate your installation.

  • can not scan large dockument in a file and have the pages come out in order

    Hello and ty 4 your time - victory runing 7-64 printer is hp officejet pro 8600 (network) PDF prog. OmniPage is ultimate. my project is to digitize a 191 total page (duplex) 391.  I select Save as pdf, leter size, black and white, 200 dpi (according to support hp - would rather than 300), document type, type of file-pdf, check preview scanning, select ADF, check scan them both sides, and here for the better part of 2 hours.

    program says to keep you charging between 25-35 @ a time and when pages per document revolving around the pages and not flip and scan to hide through.  He loved two times (not a quick learner)

    When save, close and open pda here even not close to being in the order.

    now help can't get his head around that, when some chimneys of pages feeding through the adf a cmdlet opens with a simple statement to basickly Highway, but most of the time it isn't.  you need 2 click on the small image of the page and that starts the adf to run.  until full, click done, save.

    I think the problem is in this applet appearing at random times giving simple instructions and a box click OK to start the adf and it does not appear and have 2 use the pictuture small page @ lower left.

    This is all from memory after a long and frustrating day with the machine and support.  hope I explained it correctly.  everything, everything, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The 8600 is simply not designed to handle a 382 (191 x 2) pages the analytical work. Analytical work double face (where you scan the odd numbered pages first, keep in mind, browse, then scan the even pages), looks like a copy collated job. The specification says exemplary, on the basis of 8600 model, you can do 8 pages. This is a limitation of the size of the memory. Scan at low resolution, give you more pages, which is why the interruption every 25-35 pages. It would be much easier just scan 20 pages at a time and combine PDFs on the computer (what is it good for). Or download the template more has more memory for larger jobs, or that true double-sided scans (no need to browse around).

  • Disk utility OSX not letting u/c partition names

    I recently changed the HARD drive on my Macbook Pro to a crucial SSD 1 TB.  At the time I thought that the HARD drive was faulty so used the Mac online recovery to reinstall the original OSX (Mountain Lion).  When I appointed the SSD partition it only let me use the upper case for the name of the partition.   I had already improved Cougar to the Mavericks so there were a few problems with some on application data, so I decided to do a new install directly from Time Machine.  This good all looked and noticed that Time Machine renamed partition SSD the original name of the disk partition HARD and that this name was a mixture of upper case and lower case letters.

    After that, I decided it would be useful to have a second external USB backup drive, but for the second disc I tried to partition the drive into three partitions all formatted in Mac OS X extended (journaled).  More utility disk once only would allow me to only use capitals in partition names.

    Since OSX is happily using the partition with uppercase letters and lowercase names I'm puzzled what disk utility is forcing me to use uppercase letters.  The only thing I can think is that SSD and USB disk could have been previously formatted with FAT32 and it was inhibiting the disk utility.  Does anyone have ideas better?

    Here's the new disks that are not configured for Macs. Follow these steps:

    Drive partition and format

    1. open utility disk from the Applications\utilitaires folder.

    2. after disk utility charges select the new SSD entry (this is the entrance Out-bumpy with of the mfgr.) ID and size) in the list on the left. Click the Partition tab in the main window of disk utility.

    3. in the title of the Volume entitled plan set the number of partitions in the menu drop-down one. Click the Options button, set the GUID partition scheme, and then click the OK button. Set the type of Mac OS extended (journaled) format. Click on the apply button and wait until the process is complete.

    Repeat for the USB drive.

  • Disk utility can't repair the disk

    I wish I had my vintage iMac (2007) repaired if it is worth... I have this message when you try to use: disk utility can't repair the disk. File system check exit code is 8. Problem with the disk partition EFI system partition file system with a mount point is needed Please HELP! Is it useful to have repaired? Thank you!

    Is there something on the drive on which you need to recover or save? Otherwise boot from your installation disks and repartition and format the drive. Be aware that this will WIPE the Drive. Make a partition using the schema GUID and put it into Mac OS Extended journaled. You can replace the disk of herd yourself if necessary than to pay someone to do it... for me that's not worth.

    Method 1:  Format the partition and then try to install Windows Vista.

    Important: The applications on the computer and all data will be lost when you format (New Installation) of the partition.

    Method 2: You can follow the steps mentioned in the article below

  • I can not create new folders. And then I discovered that I have more problems.

    I can not create new folders.   So, I tried to create a restore point, and who do not also have. He said that the restoration of the system did not completely & system files and settings were not changed.  Details: System Restore could not access a file.  It's probably because an antivirus program is running.  So I have disabled all programs and I still got the same message when I tried to use system restore.  I tried the SFC scan.  The scan SFC says he found no violation of integrity.  I could not create a new user, because it says that the user profile service does not log on.  Failed to load the user profile.  So I am totally confused. I recently followed the instructions on your site, to create a new Normal template as mine has been altered.  That worked very well, but all of a sudden, no new files cannot be created.

    How can I create a slide show 100% width, but have the caption in different positions for each slide.

    There is placement of the legend only one for all the images in a slide show.

    The slideshow widget is specialized to create slideshows of the image. The widget of composition is a much more flexible widget which allows any combination of images and text in the trigger containers or containers of target of the widget. A widget of composition could be used to create a slide show with several legends by image and/or legends of different places for each image. The disadvantage of the widget of composition is that, due to the nature flexible widget, very little is automated for you and so it is much more intensive work to create a slideshow of images using the widget of composition.
