Divide the disk exceeds 2 GB

I followed VMware KB: change a monolithic disk on a disk of split under VMware Workstation to divide the disc for my VM.

Why are the files that has been created over 2GB?

He created a large number of files but most of them were small and then 2-3 was big enough.

Hi Daniel,.

This has changed in the latest versions of VMware Workstation and Fusion.

Split disks are now limited to 4 GB when the virtual disk is less than or equal to 128 GB, if the virtual disk is bigger than that then it can even grow beyond this size.

See https://communities.vmware.com/thread/498924 for more information.

  • "Project exceeds the capacity of the disk" when DVD is only 2.5 hours long

    This is my first time using again because Toast for some reason, crashed and refused to start again.  I exported the project as an MPEG2-DVD first with Dolby Digital sound.  I loaded the project in Toast, and he told me that about 10% of the disk space was still free.  However, now I have it loaded in again and created a menu it tells me "Project exceeds disk capacity."  What is the problem and how to fix it?  Thank you.

    What rate you encode to? I think roughly 3.7 would be OK for a 2.5 hour video.

    If you have static menus simple, you should be fine, but if you have animated menus, they will use more space, as would an additional video.

    EDIT: When you export via SOUL, you multiplex or use the default value of the export audio video, and separate which is OK for again?

    Thank you

  • MacBook 13 "" Cannot repair the disk"then closed system and now cannot unlock drive.

    MacBook was slow so I checked and repaired disk permissions, everything went beautifully.  Then, I ran check disk and got the message "stopped disk utility check Macintosh HD."  Instructions for restart using the R command and choose utility disk, because the required disk to be repaired using the HD of recovery.  I followed this instruction and got the message "Stopped Macintosh HD repair disk utility," followed by "disk utility can't repair the disk.  Save as many files as possible, reformat the drive and restore your backed up files. "After you have clicked 'OK' I was given a guest to the"Restart"I did.

  • Windows 8.1 with Bootcamp installed in El Capitan. Do not delete with Bootcamp so I used the disk utility. Now, Windows always tries to start with an error, the 'other' space illustrates.

    Long story short, I installed windows 8.1 using Bootcamp, went very well. I was just curious how it would go.

    in any case, tonight, I decided to delete the Windows partition (Bootcamp Partition), and I got an error in Bootcamp that says "sorry couldn't do Mac OS partition a new»

    With that I went to the disk utility and tried to partition the disk on a partition again, which it did, but now I have 40 GB of "other space". I literally have nothing stored on this computer, until I installed Windows 8.1 which was not there.

    Also, when I start it up I always get Windows start first if I do not hold Option, then it goes to the blue screen, obviously because he's not here.

    I started to recover, tried to fix it, verify, erase free space, etc.. I'm running a MacBook Pro 13 "128GB 2015.

    On a Mac of 2015, the disc is divided into a group of logical volumes and Volume for OS X, and a partition for Windows. If BCA fails to restore it correctly, the part of Windows do not get properly gathered in the LVG/LV. The other questions you have, it's that there are remnants of the Microsoft your EFI partition Boot code.

    To solve both, the easiest and safest method is

    1 backup OSX and all of your files - use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support .

    2. boot into Internet recovery (CMD + Opt + R) - OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support .

    3. click on Utilties-> disk utility and erase your entire internal drive.

    4. restoration of OSX and your files - use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support .

    This requires another external drive that can accommodate TM backup - backup disks that you can use with Time Machine - Apple Support .

  • VMware converter 5.5 failed with the error failed to partition the disk of destination

    I tried to convert the centos linux server physical to virtual. However, I received an error message at 1% as below,

    Error: Impossible to partition the disk of destination.

    FAILED: an error occurred during conversion: "CalculateGPTPartitionLocations failed!"


    Conversion of GPT partition is available vcenter converter 5.1 and higher, so the GPT partition on the source server will not be a problem.

    Tried several ways as the storage of data changing but still receive the same error message.

    Anyone encounter this before?

    Hello

    Unfortunately there is a bug with Linux P2V Converter when the destination drive is greater than 2 TB (is not whether TPG, it's size). Sorry for the inconvenience.

    The solution would be to reduce the volumes instead of destination and/or their distributed on multiple disks. Another solution would be to leave unchecked high-volume and clone them manually after the conversion.

    Another misfortune is that these workaround solutions are not possible in your case - the root volume occupies approximately 4.3 TB, and the two 'start-up' and '-' are needed to perform a conversion with the reconfiguration.

    The options I can think of are:

    -make a manual P2V, i.e. to create the destination (with partitions, logical volumes and base) computer created and formatted, clone the data (for example the converter uses tar via ssh) and manually configure the virtual machine. The final step is, fixing/etc/fstab, installation of GRUB and rebuild the initrd image

    -install new and copy data

    -Optionally divides the volume of root on the source machine if possible and then convert it. For example, to add a new drive temporarily and move some data so that all volumes become smaller than 2 TB.

    Kind regards

  • Compaction of the disks do not compact

    Hello

    Has anyone advice on troubleshooting why my compaction for 'one' of my virtual machines isn't compaction?

    I have a simple VM XP - 120 disk full, divided into segments of 2GB size.

    The XP VM is simply my e-mail client.  It is uses currently about 20 GB of storage on disk inside the VM (XP)... btw I am very sure that it is / was the most important, that this disc has grown as basically all I have on this subject outside software is messaging software - so my drive is more and more with every mail I download etc...

    That said, the vmdk files take a total of about 42 GB on host and it is after the defragmentation and compaction - regularly, I might add.

    So, for some reason this VM seems to allocate amounts of crazy space that never get released. ?

    Once again, nothing funky about this machine virtual because I am aware of the gottchas and prereqs to harden... in fact I worked with literally hundreds of machines virtual over the years and never had this problem I defragment and compact regularly... all my other current VMs are reasonable and compact... this VM is however quite the opposite?

    Any suggestions?

    PS - I'm at the last version of VM Workstation 714 I think.

    Thanks in advance!

    to effectively reduce the size on the disk, you must use "shrink".

    the defrag button does not reduce the size at all
    the compact button is very inefficient without wiping the unused diskspace from within the guest first: often it has no size reduction effect at all

    Defragment and compact regularly...

    wasted effort IMHO

  • How to divide the Source file into smaller files without export?

    Hi all

    I am a beginner with PPro CS4 and video editing in general. I did a lot of research on Google and the search of these forums for an answer to this question, but I have not found a clear answer. Here's my problem:

    I have many hours of HDV video in recent years with a Canon HV30. This sequence is on dozens of DV tape cassettes. I want to capture most of it on the disk.

    When I capture a band on the disc, I get a single large mpeg4 file. (Body captures all HDV films in mpeg4). "select Scene" does not work with the HV30, so my only way to make a small capture files would be set In/Out points with batch capture. But that would mean hours of fast forward and back with VCR type controls on the camera for the revision of all bands and points. I thought it might be more QUICK to capture everything simply a whole band at once, and THEN examine the band captured the Organization (he is much faster using the Purifier), and by dividing the file into smaller files within the Organization, thus avoiding mechanical advance and rewind on the camera itself.

    But the only way I can find for it seems to imply EXPORT clips. Am I wrong to think that the export of a clip to a new file involves a degradation of the original mpeg4 source file? Or there will be no loss of quality if I simply export to mpeg4 format?

    It seems that there should be an easy way to simply divide the initial capture in small source files for editing later, without putting the images through a new generation of (exporting) treatment, which could result in a loss of quality. Or I'm wrong about this?

    (CS4 Master Suite, i7 3630 k, 16 GB RAM, C: 256 GB SSD, 1 t D:, E: 1 t F3 setpoint setpoint F3)

    HDV film is mpeg2 (which is a number). CS4 is not scene detect you will need to use HDV split for this.

    http://strony.aster.pl/paviko/hdvsplit.htm.

    You can run your files already captured by hdv split and it will cut the file into clips and you leave.

  • cannot select the disk to install the update of the Sierra (Macbook Pro 13 inch, late 2011)

    I downloaded the update of the Sierra and proceeded with the installation. However, I noticed that even if I could move the pointer autour, I couldn't make selections on tapping the trackpad. I managed to get past the first steps by using the 'tab' key (keyboard) to make selections and 'space' to make the confirmations. However, arriving at step 'select the disk where you want to install Mac OS', the 'Tab' and 'Space' technical has stopped working. Now I'm stuck here. Can someone tell me please how to go beyond this?

    Looks like it's a problem of trackpad? Or in any case a trackpad issue connected with installation of Sierra? I would take the MBP for a Genius Bar...

  • On the utility of record pass-protected when the disk is encrypted

    Dear all,

    I recently put my hands on a new internal drive SSHD and decided to quantify using filevault. Keep important documents on my mac, I used to create folders of password-protected using a disk with disk utility image. Now, my question is simple: is there a utility on the creation of these encrypted files as all the disk itself is already encrypted? This would add valuable new protection?

    Thank you very much in advance,

    Richard

    Data sheet: mid - 09 13 MBP "2.26 GHz with internal WD 1 TB SSHD

    If your disc is encrypted, then the only way that anyone (including YOU) can look at the contents of your Volume is to provide your password to disk, which we hope is a long and strong password, not only a short practice. Depending on how paranoid you are, perhaps you fell there is additional value on encryption more away from the additional items. But for extra security, the password for your encrypted disks in addition should not be readily available on your drive any just-encypted.

    Most users have very good success with encrypted Volumes. They manage to protect their records from the person mostly likely to access - themselves. DO NOT ENCRYPT YOUR DRIVE WITHOUT CREATING A RELIABLE BACKUP! The encryption is strong - there is no 'rescue' for an encrypted Volume that goes wrong for any reason, including failure of the drive.

  • If time machine is incremental how it removes previous versions when the disk is full, without breaking the chain, so do not be able to restore all changes since the first full file

    If time machine is incremental how it removes previous versions when the disk is full, without breaking the chain, so do not be able to restore the file with any changes made since the full backup first file...

    If the TM drive storage is full TM automatically deletes the version the oldest files for the new incremental backups can be made. Thus, in this case you cannot restore the versions that TM deleted because it takes more storage.

  • TB has worked fine until yesterday when I needed to send a message to more than 100. I divided the AddressBook into pieces and sent about 50 when TT502 came.

    I use TB 31.7.0, PC Windows 7. Had no problems until now. I divided the 100 addresses in groups of about 20 and sent to 3 groups. The 4th was wrong and I got the message: "too many recipients, TT502. I cut down the number of addresses, but the problem persists. I can't send all messages now, even to a single recipient. So I have a problem that does not reset when tuberculosis is turned off and restarted. Incoming is fine but I can't answer. Any ideas?

    Looks like you reach the limit of the sending of your provider. Of course sending for 1 person isn't too unless your provider has a hourly or daily limit and cut you.

  • The distribution of applications and data between the disk SSD and HDD

    I recently installed an SSD in my Macbook Pro (late 2011) instead of the DVD player. I want to install OS X on it, by replacing the current OS X on the original hard disk, I will continue to use for storing files. How should I allocate its use in car? OS X and applications on the data files on the hard disk of 500 GB and SSD?

    The first series of instructions will partition and format the newly installed SSD disk then install OS X on it. The second block will help you configure OS X on the SSD with your data on the HARD drive.

    How to use an SSD with your HARD drive

    If you want to use an SSD as boot with your existing HARD disk drive, as the disk 'data', here is what you can do.

    After installing the SSD, you need to partition and format the SSD using disc utility disc. Then install OS X on the SSD. Once installed OSX boot from SSD. Startup disk preferences to set up the SSD as the boot volume.

    Open the preferences users and groups. Click the lock and authenticate you. Or CTRL - RIGHT click on your username account list in the sidebar and select Advanced Options in the context menu. You will see a field called "Home dir: ' on the far right, you will see an Edit button. Click on it. In the file dialog box, navigate to the location in house now located on the HARD disk (disk HARD/users/user_name /.) Select the folder, click the Open button. Restart the computer, as shown. When the computer starts, it will now use the home located on the HARD drive folder.

    Another more technical method involving the Terminal and the alias is discussed in depth here: using OS X with a SSD and HDD - Matt Gemmell configuration. It's my preferred approach because I can choose which records of the House, I want to on the HARD drive and I don't want to. For example, I like to keep Documents and library files on the SSD because I frequently access their content.

    Make sure that you keep the bootable system entirely on your HARD drive where you need it.

  • SAMSUNG SSD 850evo cannot be read on the disk utility

    My macbook pro 13 "mid-2012 has been very slow (20-minute boot) for the past month, so I quickly looked for a cure and thought I have a failing hard drive.

    I bought a Samsung 850 Evo 250 gb to replace the failed drive. Following the useful tutorials on youtube, I managed to install the ssd in my macbook pro. However, when I use the recovery of internet to install OS X on the ssd, ssd seem does not appear is not in the list of drives available in disk utility.

    Can someone help me why it does not appear in the disk utility?

    Get out the SSD drive, install it in an enclosure, connect it to the MBP via USB.  Install the original HARD disk and start the MBP.  Open disk utility and make sure that the SSD is displayed.  If so, you can format it and clone the content for the SSD from the internal HARD drive, if you wish.

    However, when you install the SSD drive and if it does not start the MBP, indicating that internal SATA cable needs to be replaced.

    If the SSD does not appear in the disk utility when it is connected to the outside, then that indicates that the SSD is defective.

    Ciao.
