  • vCenter device postgres log file purging in read disk extension?

    I have a 5.5u2 of vcenter which fortunately works for a year. I have set up the analysis of space on it and have just started to receive alerts on the full of 60 G/storage/db to 81% score. I know that you can jump through hoops to replace the partition with a larger drive. However, look in the directory shows the major part of the use of the disc structure is in the log to 39 billion files in/storage/db/vpostgres/pg_log. Most of the files is files of 10 M that goes back for months.

    Someone knows if it is safe to delete some of them, or should I go through the process of disk expansion?

    You can remove all logs without any problem. You won't have problems just make sure that you don't need these newspapers any more in the future.

    If for some reason if you do not want to remove the logs you can do something, have a remote storage or disk up to VCVA and run a cron job that moves all the logs on the remote disk. You just make sure n Delete postgres db.

    This will help.

  • Error file not found in Temp. Firefox does not start

    When I try to start Firefox (Windows 8.1 desktop computer) I get a full white screen with only the following error message:

    File not found
    Firefox can't find the file at / c; /Users/ username/AppData/Local/Temp/name of file (more than fifty characters long, all the numbers and letters without anything that looks like a real word and ends in /BGAW05 .htm).

    It of only a button to Try Again that never works and some directions to verify the name of the error file, or check if the file has been moved, renamed or deleted. I check to see if the file is no where on C: and it doesn't. It is there no file in Temp even remotely close to that name. I run Firefox with several tabs that are registered and come back when I restart Firefox. So maybe this file in Temp was associated with a deleted tab.

    As I said, this error message comes up full screen, covering the taskbar and not reduce it, restore, close buttons, as if I was running in mode Metro, I never do and will never do.

    Because of this error I can not even start Firefox now, so I had to become a user of Internet Explorer.

    How can I get Firefox to stop looking for this file?

    Any help on this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I found a solution to my problem. Looking in my info on solving computer problems, I noticed that some problems can be resolved by the administrator. I tried with Firefox and it worked. The only damage was that I lost the current tabs. But Firefox seems to work fine otherwise.

  • file Temp-plate

    Hi, Im hoping someone can help me here please. Basically, the guest operating system is Windows 7 and use 2 virtual disks. In the settings of the workstation, I extended the second disc. This adds a partition from my second drive current and been awarded. Later in the settings of the workstation, I removed the second disc by mistake. I can't add the disk more. Looking at the directory of the host where the disc is, all I see is two files. TEMP and temp-plate. Any ideas how I can add the disk again as the allocated partition gave out there that I want to keep.

    Thanks a lot for any help, RB

    What you're trying to do is to rename the files, i.e. to add the . VMDK extension and then change the "temp.vmdk" as shown below.

  • How can I remove the Photoshop Temp File for good? (PS CS 4)

    Hello

    I have a problem on my PC. Since this Saturday if gives me the error "could not complete because full discs...» »

    I have read every blog/forum and even called the call center of photoshop without any help...

    Some of the solutions I've tried are the following:

    -Deleted all my Temp files (as I normally do every week)

    -Defragment my hard drives (done weekly)

    -Deletion of all unused software

    -Bought and installed a new hard drive (1 TB) to use as storage for this Temp file

    -All cleared the Cache and Cookies on my Browser

    -Use of the memory of Photoshop to 70%

    -Uninstalled Photoshop (PC Shutdown) and then re-installed and the Temp file is always there and it is much bigger than before

    Basically, I tried everything I could.

    What happens is that this Photoshop Temp 12389772616 file (44.6 concerts and increasing) cannot be seen when Photoshop is active or running and can not be deleted under these circumstances. When Photoshop is closed, it disappears as well. I don't know what else to do about it. When I re - allocate what is called a virtual file/disk to another hard disk, Photoshop slows and crashes more... I was thinking of buying the new Photoshop CS 5, but I am now, NOT wanting to take the risk, but it has served me well for a year so far.

    : NB is there any way I can reduce the size of this file virtual (Temp) or completely remove?

    My PC Specs are:

    Processor - Dual Core (2.3 GHz)

    Operating system - Windows 7

    Hard disk space - 1 TB, 500 GB and 250 GB x 2 (space is not a problem)

    Graphics - 8800 G - Force (512 MB) with GPU (PCI Express)

    Can anyone please help me or guide me on how to this mess?

    But then I have yet to find a problem when you open a new document (1000 x 1000 and above). Photoshop gives me the same "...". scratch disks full"or just simply, it lags behind and does not open.

    Just to clarify; is your main disk Scratch, named in Edit > Preferences > Performance an internal drive? If so, what is available on this subject?

    Is between "ideal" recommended RAM allocation in Edit > Preferences > Performance ?

    File slow opening is perhaps due to the default printer. This is a known bug and has been reported several times in the forum.

    The solution, weird as it may seem, is to make a printer driver generic default printer. If you do not, you can download it here:

    I hope that helps some of ths.

    Oh yes and try resetting your preferences (again) as described in the FAQ.

    http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/375776?TSTART=0

    You must physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if you use the Alt, Ctrl, and shift, don't forget you get a confirmation dialog box.

  • Removal of damaged and unreadable files

    After recovering from a failure of the HD, restoration has added a few corrupted files. I can't remove them and have used all of the methods suggested, I could find (for example, chkdsk, disk cleaner, unlocker, safemode, Hiren BootCD)? Apparently the failed drive content/caused some files to become corrupt were then copied to the backup file and more later restored corrupted.

    I replaced the defective drive and then restored from a backup, Acronis. The Documents and Settings folder found \temp so I could copy the files needed for new Documents and Settings. Everything seemed to have worked fine until I tried to remove the Documents and Settings is no longer necessary to \temp. Now, I have a number of different files in \temp which cannot be deleted. Error when I try to remove one of the offending files is "cannot delete [filename]: the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."

    Can someone suggest another method to clean up this mess short of reformatting the new drive and reinstall again? TIA.

    ·         Do you have an error message when you run the disk check?

    I suggest to run the check disk in safe mode and check if it helps.

    WARNING: When Chkdsk detects problems with the file system and tries to repair the damage, data loss may occur. Microsoft does not recommend running Chkdsk with the /f command-line switch unless you have a full backup of your hard drive.

    Attempt to repair the damaged file, the folder or the index system using check diskfile. To do this, follow these steps:

    (a) click Startand then click run.

    (b) in the Open box, type chkdsk /f :, where is the letter of the drive on which the file is damaged, the folder or the file system index exists.

    (c) click Yes to schedule disk check when the computer is restarted.

    (d) restart the computer and let the disk check run and check.

    NOTE: If the hard disk is large, Chkdsk may take several minutes to several hours to complete.

  • Users /(user name)/AppData/Local/Temp

    Greetings,

    I'm trying to better understand the purpose of this particular Temp folder (usersTemp under Vista (ultimate).  Specifically, it operations, functional routines, application of the related activities, or other executions file would put files in this folder?  The question is asked by finding this Temp folder that is populated by a lot of Microsoft Word and PDF files that were created a long time ago and have resided largely intact in the original "saved in ' repertoire since then.  They are sensitive files and I want to understand what may have caused them can be completely copied to this folder.  (I'm a computer operating relatively new for which application all files were transferred from the old system running XP and earlier version of Office Pro.   The file transfer process went well with all paper, folders, files, and directories organized and working on the new system, as they had it on a prerequisite.  The files in Temp folder in question were created on old system years ago month.)  If some could refer to reliable, applicable information resources, that might be useful as well - in addition to any direct response to the motion may be possible.

    Thank you-

    Sincerely,

    Description: Temp folder
    Location: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp
    Why you be interested: many programs are in need of a safe place, where the user has permissions, to generate temporary data. This is the place to look. They may have wiped/grater the main file, but there may be a version in this directory according to the application works.
    Entered by: Irongeek, but thanks to Nir.

    Information appears in this issue most often when a program crashes and parts of open files are placed in this directory - it is very large, then you can have a lot of accidents.

    What are the dates on the temporary files and are they complete files or only the fragments of files (you can tell by trying to open them and see if they if they have valid file types)?  They occurred around the same time or they occurred over a long period of time?

    I do not know why these files seems suddenly in the temp folder if they have not been used in 10 years - I see nothing in Vista that would cause that to happen automatically.  Maybe someone actually did open without your knowledge (even though it will have to be an admin to access the source files, unless they know your user name and password).

    Open the folder Documents (the source of these sensitive files) and click on the title bar and then click more.  Check the Date of consultation.  Check Date of visit.  Check the last time.  Then go through the files to see this information on them to see if they have been recently accessed in these ways (you can delete the columns once you are finished).  If the dates are old, chances are good that they are not open (which should make you feel better, but why they appear in the confosing especially temp folder).  Are that they all the same type of file (as all .doc files) - if so, what file type and if not what types of files are involved?  Maybe something is happening with the program that created (is Microsot Word?) because of this activity (although I can't imagine what it is maybe).

    Make periodic backups, including these source files?  It is possible that the backup process is originally this activity (although I frankly never heard of this before and it would be a big surprise).

    Here is a link to a search engine Bing on "Appdata/Local/Temp" which can be a help to http://www.bing.com/search?q=Appdata%2FLocal%2FTemp&first=1&FORM=PERE (I it used to get some information here).

    I don't know if I answered your question - I think I have got approached in some areas but missed a few aspectis of your questions.  Be specific if you want information.
