Mystery on this machine - a lot of disk activity

Similar Questions

• Is there a way to identify the reason for the disk activity?

  I am running Windows XP SP3. I often hear my hard drive makes a lot of disk activity as long as 20 minutes or more. No request probably appear in the Task Manager, and I don't think that the application using the more memory is necessarily the same responsible for application of the disk activity. I have not all the scheduled running backups, so this isn't the reason. Is there a software to help me identify what kind of reading/writing happens in the middle of this?

  Download Process Explorer.

• Defragmenter shows that I have a lot of disk space being taken up by a file that cannot be defragmented. I tried disk cleanup. I can't find this file to remove...

  The Defragmenter report is:
  Fragments of files in file size that cannot be defragmented
  32 330 MB \Documents and Settings\Bill & LaVerne\Local Settings\Temp\~PST5291.tmp
  I tried to find this file in order to remove it, but were unsuccessful.  I have the configuration of the computer to make the "hidden files" visible.  I searched all the temporary files by searching *.tmp and deleated all .tmp files that were more than 30 days old.  I searched files with one of the components of the file listed but am not successfulin find the listed file.
  Why can't I find this file?

  Hi Steven,

  I tried the program you recommended "Pagedefrag", but he did not find any fragmented junk files to be fixed.

  However, I had another idea, I went into "the command prompt ", and progress through the file defragmentation report structure was first listed as the path of the fragmented files.  After clicking on "command prompt " in the program lists, I used an old DOS command line: cd (change directory ) (for each step ) and the following file type listed since the path of the defrag report file until I came to the temp indicated as fragmented file.  Then I typed del (space) and then pasted in the name of the file I wanted to delited "~ PST5291.tmp" and you press on [Enter] was deleted, and I was thrilled!

  I delited the file in mode "command prompt " even if windows has not shown that there was!

  Before I tried this, I got windows put in place a restore point in case where my new idea would cause a problem.

  Oh, before I tried this, I also ran again disk cleanup and led also to search all *.tmp files.

  Note: after you remove the ' ~ PST5291.tmp ' file, I ran again the defrag program with several additional fragmented files that cannot be defragmented reported!  When I deleted them... According to the above method, I managed to free up enough disk space change free space of 13% to 34% of free space on the C: drive.
  Quite impressive.
  Can someone explain why windows program (search or windows explorer) cannot 'see' all these files and why 'disk cleanup' could not find and remove?  They took almost 10 GIG of space!

  Thank you

• 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!

• Satellite 3000 - X 11: Bios 1.60 does not apply to this machine

  I've seen this question asked a couple of times and it does not seem to have received a response.
  I have a laptop, satellite
  Name of the model: S3000 - X 11
  Model No.PS301E - 001VY-FR
  Current BIOS 1.00 (I think that... Let me watch!... it is said: Phoenix Bios 4.0 release 6.0 and below: ATW03 BIOS VERSION V1.00)

  I can download the bios driver from the download section of the BIOS and install it in the floppy disk OK
  (He tells me that this update's Satellite 3000 - PS301 only)

  When I boot the PC with the floppy in there, a little chuggs (i.e. reads the floppy!) then he said to me:

  BIOS UPDATE FAILED!
  THIS BIOS UPGRADE ONLY TO NOT APPLY TO THIS MACHINE. Contact the good BIOS upgrade disk.
  Please remove the disk and press any key to restart.

  Someone actually managed to upgrade an S3000 - X 11 with 1.60 worm?

  The indices of anyone!

  Hello

  I checked the BIOS file on the page of the Toshiba driver and the text in the more information section, said:

  Windows-based update Bios. You must download this file, if you want to update your BIOS from Windows.
  If you want to do the update of the traditional Bios, you must download the update of the traditional BIOS.

  Apparently, these BIOS must be installed Windows!

  But a question: why do you want to update the BIOS? If the laptop works well, the update of the BIOS is unnecessary.

• I allowed out of my laptop to use CC on a different machine, so I cancelled CC on this machine to go back to my laptop.

• IBM Thinkpad message: 'this machine can run faster with the USB 2.0 hub.

  Original title: Thinkpad USB 2.0 Hub.

  Hello:

  I have an IBM Thinkpad T-21 which is under Ubuntu & Windows xp.  I primarily use Windows XP.  The pop-up that keeps occurring is "this machine can run faster with the USB 2.0 hub.  Can you tell me how to upgrade my USB 2.0 Hub?  Would like to know because I can't sync my Android phone with my computer until I do it. Thank you.

  Are you sure you copied this error message properly?  In other words, he says that the hub could perform better if connected to a USB 2.0 port?  As far as I can determine that the T21 is not come with a USB 2.0 port, even if you connect a USB 2.0 device (for example a hub), the unit will only race as fast as the port allows it.

  What is the brand and model of your terminal?

  It is possible that the message means the opposite (i.e., your computer has a USB 2.0 port, but the hub is only a USB 1.1 device).

  USB 2.0 was introduced in 2001, so if you bought your computer before 2001, it is likely that you use USB 1.1 or 1.0.

  Open the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK)
  Expand the category of 'USB Bus controllers'.
  If you see the "Enhanced" work for one or more of the listed devices, you have a USB 2.0 port.  If you do not see "Enhanced", you have USB 1.1.

  

  If the problem is that the USB port on the computer is not 2.0, so your only solution is to buy a USB 2.0 PC Card adapter.  Example and example 2
  If the problem is that the hub is not 2.0, then you will need to buy a new hub.

• Can upgrade you the graphics card in this Machine?

  I just ordered that model number HP Pavilion is m7-1015dx I really really look forward to receiving this laptop having specifications really very good for the price. The only thing that was really bugging me bad, it's that "can upgrade you the graphics card in this machine? Since I am on the Hardcore Gaming and school.

  -Thanks in advance.

  He may have a problem, as indicated in the specifications is has the Intel UMA video that would be the worst choice of graphics of today, you can get to the game.

  Hey stevecook3dw,

  Please test and see if you get the same error message when it is started in safe mode. After the test, if you do not receive the error message, you can run clean boot to test which causes this error.

  Step 1: Safe Mode

  For safe mode, see the steps in the article below.

  Start your computer in Mode safe:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Step 2: Perform the clean boot

  Please see this article for detailed information on how to do it.
