• 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

• How can I free up disk space? I continue to have alerted it is low

  The original title: disk space

  I get a message that my disk space is insufficient, but when I go in files deleat it says there are no files, how free of disk space?

  > but when I go into the files deleat it says there is no files...

  Looks like you're tailking on drive D:, your recovery disk. Yes?

  (If you went ot C: drive tries to delete files, you wiould NOT have received message "here ya no files".)

  Your recovery partition D is implemented by the manufacturer of your computer in the event of serious problems in your system.
  You use it to restore your system.

  You are NOT supposed to touch it... not for nothing is add or remove anything from him.

  Have you been using the D drive and for scheduled backups of file, or use it to store other programs and files?
  If this is the case, you call the manufacturer of the computer, tell them the situation...

  1. ask for a set of recovery DVD (if you have not done a game initially). It is used to re - install Vista from it in case of system crash.
  2. ask how to remove backup files or elements that are NOT supposed to be there.
  They created the recovery partition, they know how to take care of it.
  Let them teach how you to.

• To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This can take up to a few minutes.

  Every few minutes the message:

  "To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages.  This can take up to a few minutes. »

  It is irrelevant for two reasons:

  (1) I do not use Outlook Express and have therefore no messages to be compacted.

  (2) I have not free disk space as I am currently using only five percent of the very large disks.

  Is could someone please tell me how I get rid of this very irritating message.

  Try to reset the compact County in the registry:

  1. Start the registry editor.
  2. Open this key:

     \Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\ {identity}

     where the identity is a string of letters, numbers, and dashes.

  3. The value of Compact Check Count to 0.
  4. Close the registry editor.

  For more information, see why you should let Outlook Express Compact Messages when it asks you .

  WARNING: Incorrectly editing the registry can damage your system and prevent Windows to start. Before you do, back up your important data, make a restore point and make sure that you know how to repair a damaged system. Boulder computer Maven

• Get the message "To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages" - No. OE installed

  From the beginning of this week, I get a pop-up message stating "To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages".  This happens when that I start.  The fact is; I do not use Outlook Express or have installed. I checked the Windows components that are installed and checked that.  Once again; He started at the beginning of this week.  There are a few updates that was installed earlier this week also.  No other software has been added.  I use Outlook 2003 and have for years.  Will continue to cancel this message, I would appreciate it if someone could shed some light on how to prevent this message from poping up upward.

  Of course, it has something to with Windows Search as you suggest.
  I open the Indexing Options and found that Outlook Express was listed and checked in an indexed location.
  I took the case off Outlook Express but he left on my Outlook 2003.
  The settings saved and restarted.
  The message poped always upward, but I noticed one thing - search index icon does not appear in the taskbar until I actually recognized the message by choosing .  I waited about a minute and a half before that I did to make sure my boot is complete.  Soon I clicked on cancel search index icon appeared on the system tray.

• How to expand your disk space?

  Hello

  I can't understand it. I have (or had) OS X 10.11.1 installed on a 250 GB SSD. VMWare Fusion 8.0.2 and Windows 10 x 64 Pro as a virtual machine.

  120 GB of disk space for Windows 10.

  Now, I have installed a 512 GB SSD instead (cloned from the old drive to the new with Carbon Copy Cloner). Everything works except that I can't understand how to develop my Windows partition after that I assigned 250 GB to Windows in VMWare Fusion. When I run diskmgmt.msc I see this:
  

  As you can see, I can't expand the partition of Windows 10. The recovery partition is 'in the sense '. Should we not have the recovery partition at the beginning of the partition and how can I move it there? If I can't move it, delete it instead with the diskpart or something similar?
  
  Best regards

  TGMadsen

  Forget it. I used Parted Magic to delete the recovery partition first and subsequently to extend partition Windows 10, so problem solved.

  How to clean my disk space on LR mobile? The app on my iPad I have 26 GB 27 GB stored. But I only 149 photos in two folders.

  Hi J.Forsberg,

  The images that you have on LR Mobile, they synchronize from LR Office or are they film.

  If they come from LR Desktop then images don't take up much space because they only thumbnails that are created.

  Also please check on your iPad app consumes the most space: https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT201656

  Please let us know if it helps.
