several hard files

I ran Daisy disk trying to find out why my boot drive fills up.  The two biggest files on the disk were my two disks of VMware.  I have a XP SP3 virtual machine and a Vista virtual machine.  I don't have a lot of programs installed on each one and don't use not it be a lot so I was wondering why the xp was 134.2 GB and vista a 181,5 GB.  Dig deeper into the vista machine, for example, I found this:

/ Users/James/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows Vista x 64 Edition.vmwarevm/Windows Vista x 64 Edition - 000002.vmdk - 138 MB

/ Users/James/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows Vista x 64 Edition.vmwarevm/Windows Vista x 64 Edition - 000003.vmdk - 35.5 MB

/ Users/James/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows Vista x 64 Edition.vmwarevm/Windows Vista x 64 Edition - 000004.vmdk - 9.3 GB

/ Users/James/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows Vista x 64 Edition.vmwarevm/Windows Vista x 64 Edition - 000005.vmdk - GB 41.1

/ Users/James/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows Vista x 64 Edition.vmwarevm/Windows Vista x 64 Edition - 000006.vmdk - 26.1 GB

/ Users/James/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows Vista x 64 Edition.vmwarevm/Windows Vista x 64 Edition - 000007.vmdk - 1.3 GB

The same situation applies to the virtual machine xp.  I have 14 hard is there with a couple of them exceeds 15 GB each.  Why do I get so many virtual disks?  The snapshot function has something to do with it?  If I delete some of them to recover space, what are the possible ramifications?  Thank you.

Yes, they are instantaneous.  If you have active AutoProtect you can decrease the number of snapshots of protection to save disk space.  Usually, it is safe to delete snapshots as the changes are going to get rolled up the line to the base vmdk.  If you have that much space, removing every link can take a long time.

I use usually 1-2 just before I know I could do something in the trash a virtual machine like instant manuals install AV or test a firewall, etc.

  • Converter to create several hard files

    Hello-

    I use VMware vCenter Converter to convert a physical box in a virtual machine. On some boxes, it seems that the converter creates 2 file hard a filename.vmdx and another which is the name of file - 0.vmdk. Why is it that and y at - it a way to create a single hard file, so we can convert?

    Thank you-

    Tommy

    This can happen if you have several drives or partitions in your original system.

    Can you provide a screenshot of disk in Windows Management, or output of the mount command if you have a physical source of Linux?

    It is best to manage each partition as an individual disk, and therefore each partition (or drive letter) would have its own VMDK file.

    If it's a windows system, could there be a "Recovery" Partition that could have been copied as well?

    Best regards

  • P to V conversion creates several hard files

    When you run a p to v conversion, what would cause hard several files to be created (> 30 of them) of physical single hard drive less of 250 GB?  Is there a setting that controls this? Thank you

    Assuming you're on Windows and have a virtual disk of split like this:

    30.03.2011  22:59           393.216 mydisk-s001.vmdk
    30.03.2011  22:59           327.680 mydisk-s002.vmdk
    30.03.2011  22:59           327.680 mydisk-s003.vmdk
    30.03.2011  22:59           327.680 mydisk-s004.vmdk
    30.03.2011  22:59           327.680 mydisk-s005.vmdk
    30.03.2011  22:59           327.680 mydisk-s006.vmdk
    30.03.2011  22:59           327.680 mydisk-s007.vmdk
    30.03.2011  22:59           327.680 mydisk-s008.vmdk
    30.03.2011  22:59           327.680 mydisk-s009.vmdk
    30.03.2011  22:59           327.680 mydisk-s010.vmdk
    30.03.2011  22:59            65.536 mydisk-s011.vmdk
    30.03.2011  22:59               882 mydisk.vmdk
    

    You can then run for example

    vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -r mydisk.vmdk -t 0 onedisk.vmdk
    

    which will result in a single vmdk for that vdisk

    30.03.2011  23:02         2.752.512 onedisk.vmdk
    

    The vmdk origin remains intact. This means that you need additional disk space to run this command.

  • Best way to connect several hard disks

    HI - since getting my new Mac Pro, I worked with two hard drives of 12 to promised Pegasus 2 Raid-5.  They have been great.  But my video player started to get crazy and so I bought two backup drives WD - 8 to, one to save the key on each PP2 files.  Unfortunately, it was too late to save the video player, as one of the bays failed.  Because it's Raid-5 and with the amazing and patient Vincent promise eSupport, I replaced the failed drive Bay and am now waiting while he rebuilds (if all goes well, without any loss of data).  Then it will get saved.

    Until it became clear that a bad drive Bay was probably underlying computer freezing, loss of images in video playback, etc., I was wondering if there was some sort of best practices for fixing of external drives.  With Thunderbolt, you can chain; But what to what?  Is there a limit any?  Can I plug two disks promise, then the one closest to you on the computer?  Must the WDs be connected in the same way, each to each, and the other to the computer?  Should there be just a Garland of four disks?   ????   In the old days, you had to look at how much energy was used during the USB and Firewire connection, but the true even for love at first sight?

    Surely you'd be recognizing any indication on how best to connect several hard disks.

    Thank you!

    There are 3 unique bus in the Mac Pro black cylinder. Better reactivity is with your readers spread between three buses, keeping in mind that video display takes nearly half a ThunderBolt Bus itself.

    You can use USB-3 for your backup drives - just keep in mind, it is only a sufficient bandwidth behind the USB to operate a chain of reading and writing of full tilt. If you simultaneously use devices more than that, you can start to see some cuts of your maximum transfer rate.

    In fact I am facing problems create multiple virtual machines with the hard file.

    You would use this option to export a whole VM, and then import it later.

    Therefore, you must create a basic VM with whom. VMDK attached to it and then export it. You can then import several times with a new name and customize as needed from there.

  • How to create a library of shades from several png files?

    Illustrator CC

    I'm having a hard time trying to create a new shade of several png files template library. The way I do it is very slow and repetitive and seems ridiculous for a tool that is as advanced as the last consequence CC including illustrator.

    It seems that I have to do is open all png files in Illustrator, create multiple workspaces, drag a png file in the swatch window, and then save this window as a library, close the existing window to reveal the next png file, open the user's library, I just created, drag the following image in the currently active window swatch and then drag the previous swatch/s of the library of the user in the active window current swatch, re-record and replace the shades defined the user library (now with two images in it) in the update of current active swatch Panel / window, close the existing workspace to display the next file image and then repeat the process again slowly accumulate shades defined the user library by adding an image at the same time then in the Swatch Panel library previously accumulated shades again one in time.  (you can select all from the library defined by the existing user and drag it above in swatch window, but this creates at least a copy at each cycle for as soon as you click on the first sample in the library, he adds ITTO the current swatch group and then when you select the nuances of slip through it includes the first shade and still once copy)

    It is a very slow process to put in place a swatch library. For some reason you can't drag samples directly into the user defined library you created, only in the window active swatch for each workspace. I searched the web and the forums for answers, but could find none. There must be an easier way, just can't find it.

    Ideally, the best option would be a swatch window option that allows importing directly in a list of files selected in the finder.

    Any ideas out there?

    Thank you

    I can see how to work with it.

    I opens the library file, drag other png files open on the sheet of library file, and then drag the images into the swatch window.

    Not exactly intuitive at first, especially the files are hidden, but it works.

    Thanks again

  • Several missing files

    Hello

    I have several missing files in my iTunes Music, about 3000 songs, so about a quarter of my library. Some albums are partially there, although all the songs are in the same folder. I can easily locate the songs individually, but I don't have the ability to recover all the missing files, even though I followed all the advice that I found within the communities and by the Google search.

    Everything started when I backed up all my music, then deleted all the music purchased and tried to restore from iCloud, to convert a large number of these in m4a m4p songs so that I could read on my Android phone.

    Although he works initially, as soon as I actually clicked on a track in return convert m4a m4p.

    So I tried to reinstall all my saved music, but now he seems to think that they are all the m4p, when in my collection of current music UI have reinstalled m4a!

    I followed the advice of turingtest2 and run the script to find the missing files, but I get a message during the process:

    The function 'ExtFromKind' needs update to generate the correct file type extension:

    An example of a missing file path is:

    ITunes think the path to the file is:

    file://localhost/C: / users/BLYTHE/music/iTunes/iTunes Media / Music / Compilations / integral Chopin / 3 - 10 Ballade No. 3 in a-flat, Opus 47.m4a

    The correct path when I get on my computer is:

    C:\Users\BLYTHE\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\Compilations\Ultimate Chopin\3 - 10 ballad No. 3 in A_Flat, 47.m4p op.

    The difference seems to be in the file type. Rather than m4p m4a.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    As a clarification, what I actually did was to use iTunes game rather than iCloud to try convert m4p to m4a files. It does not seem to have been successful, but it was obviously kind of!

    How to access the tab 'Save all' when I close several jpeg files that have been adjusted with the "color adjust tool? He is currently making me close and save one at a time.  I've just upgraded to El Capitan.  Thanks for any help :)

    I assume that you use the application overview.

    I can't find an answer to back up everything, but a workaround could be while the file menu options are visible, press the option key

    and the point of the window will become close, if you click on that dialogue will ask you if you want to restore the changes or save

    pressing Save will close the image with the changes and then move to the next image and so on.
