• If I bring in photos from Iphoto, I use more disk space on my hard drive. I don't want to replicate my entire file. I have 26000 photo photos in I.

  If I bring in photos from Iphoto, I use more disk space on my hard drive. I don't want to replicate my entire file. I have 26000 photo photos in I.

  You need to duplicate pictures unless you want to use the PSE as external editor for iphoto. In iphoto, your photos are stored in a library owner, which should never be marred with programs other than iphoto. Written to the iphoto library from outside iphoto is the best way to corrupt and lose all the photos it contains.

  So you can either set PSE as external editor and send the photos of in iphoto, or you export photos from iphoto to use them outside of this program.

• Help wanted | How to increase virtual disk space

  IM using ubuntu as my client machine and esxi 4.1 running on the server dell 2850. My image is initially sized like 15 GB, but I want to expand to 100 GB, which is the amount available in the actual physical drives attached to the server.

  If I try to change the disk space by changing the settings it does not change the internal space used by ubuntu. ?

  Can someone help me how can I change the settings for the virtual disk grows as the capacity of the physical drives increases?

  Thank you

  If you originally created a thin provisioned disk then it will behave as you describe, but you still need to expand the space inside your file of Ubuntu system using gparted. Download the live CD of gparted.

• Additional virtual disk space not usable in Windows

  I resized a virtual disk of virtual machines by changing properties and then used a live CD partitioning tool to resize the partition.  Inside windows disk manager, it shows that the additional disk space as if the size of the Windows partition has been increased with success.  However, when I look at the properties of the hard drive in Windows, the extra size does NOT appear and it is not usable or accessible to the file system.  Any ideas what went wrong and how to fix it?

  Thank you

  I had exactly this before strange point of view and could not explain it. Seemed rather strange that the operating system will appear to display the disk space as allocted but the extra space was not available (even when checking the query WMI etc.)

  Ultimately, however, EXTPart has remedied the problem for me. (and quickly)

  If you do not use EXTPart, you can use the converter to recreate the disk.

• Inaccessible machine always appears as the use of disk space on vCenter

  Hello

  I use an ESX 4 server as a host of a vCenter.  One of our machines has probably been removed via the ESX itself some time ago and it does not exist on the store data, but when you browse the host when it is connected to the vCenter, I see the machine appears under the name "inaccessible".  Now, when I look at the virtual host computers tab, I see that the machine uses up to 25 GB of disk space, but this machine does not really exist on the data store.  I tried refreshing and so forth, but the machine still appears as existing and too much space.  Can someone explain why this is the case?

  Also, I can remove the machine from the inventory and no block will be reserved for this machine?

  Thank you

  Ofer

  If you are sure, that concerned VM is not necessary, do a right-click the VM and remove from the inventory. It won't support a swap file lock in the data store as the heartbeat for this virtual machine is already lost.

  Usually, a VC service is restarted and the removal of the virtual machine directly from host should solve the problem.

• HP Pavillion DV7 Notebook: Use unpartitioned disk space on a 700 GB DV7 Notebook

  I have an original 700 GB hard disk partitioned into 5 partitions

  1. 199 MB - system partition

  370 2 GB - data drive partition C

  Partition 3 - 313 f - not assigned

  4. 14 Gb - partition recovery

  5. 103 Mb - HP partition tools

  This disc was partiotioned factory of HP, I have often wondered why HP had left aside nearly 40 percent of the primary (370 Gb) drive as unallocated. This serves?

  So far there has not been a problem, but as the increase in requests for space, I'd use this space if possible.

  This space is set aside by HP for any special purpose, that I don't know - or can I just use it without causing problems?

  Thank you very much

  Tony...

  Hello

  There is no goal for this unused disk space, and very probably he popped a previous restoration.

  You can expand the C partition in "unallocated space" as follows.

  Once more, hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run box, type diskmgmt.msc and press ENTER.

  In the lower graphic view of the partitions, right-click on the C partition and select "Extend Volume".

  In the next window, click Next.

  In the next window, use the "select the amount of space in MB" make sure it shows the same number as the number of 'Space available Maximum in MB' which is registered just above (adjust if necessary).

  Click Next, then click Finish.

  It may take a few minutes to complete.

  Kind regards

• How to use unknown disk space?

  Original title: "unknown space"

  Hi I m shivani I have a problem I have three unknown 18.6 GB disk space can u tell me how to use these discs. Please allow me to * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  If it is unallocated space, the first step is to create a partition: http://Windows.Microsoft.com/fr-fr/Windows-Vista/Create-and-format-a-hard-disk-partition.  Also read the articles referenced for additional information on the implementation of these partitions correctly.

  Once the partitions are created they can be expanded or narrowed (as long as they are contiguous) If you care about this:http://Windows.Microsoft.com/fr-fr/Windows-Vista/Create-and-format-a-hard-disk-partition.  This can be done in readers, but only in the same drive.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Excessive use of disk space on the computer.

  With my machine Win7 with nothing other than the operating system and software support (AV, ZAfirewall, wireless) what's with 32 GB of disk space?

  This machine is alive for 3 weeks.

  Now my XP machine which is alive for years and has all of its updates as well as tons of other software collected over the years and it is only using 8 gig.

  Why the huge difference?

  Oh I agree, it will be never be the same. But it's strange to use 30 + GB on a new installation.

  But absolutely.  You cannot buy a different system and wait until it has the same footprint as a predecssor. It's like saying 'My XP uses more space than BACK!', well duh, BACK fits on a floppy :)

• Why Lightroom uses hard disk space if my catalog is in dropbox?

  I am new to Lightroom and love it so far. In addition to some external hard drives backup, I keep all my photos on Dropbox and am currently trying to build my library in Lightroom by importing my photos. Because I'll be editing my photos from multiple computers, I decided to move my Lightroom Catalog to Dropbox as well. This way I can continue to ensure coherence between several machines in my library.

  My question, however, is that whenever I have import photos, I seem to be consumes hard disk space on my computer. I'm confused because my photos and catalog are in Dropbox, so this is actually too much space on my hard drive? I just imported approximately 1.63 GB of photos and afterword noticed that 1.46 GB has been written to my hard drive. I know that I am using the correct catalog (also the catalog only I have for Lightroom) because use space has increased after my import on my dropbox catalog file.

  I don't know there's a logical reason - as I said, I'm new to Lightroom so always understand the ins and outs. But if someone could help me out here I would appreciate it a lot!

  Thank you

  I'm confused because my photos and catalog are in Dropbox, so this is actually too much space on my hard drive? I just imported approximately 1.63 GB of photos and afterword noticed that 1.46 GB has been written to my hard drive.

  By default copy of Dropbox (and synchronizes forever) all in your remote Dropbox folder on each device that you have connected to your Dropbox account.

  1 GB of files in your remote Dropbox folder will also chew up to 1 GB of space on each hard disk attached to the Dropbox account.

  The power of the box lies in its timing in order to always have the latest file available on any device connected to your Dropbox account. The compromise is that 5 appliances also each stores its own copy of the same file. Any changes made to any file on any device is synchronized by Dropbox.

  You can save space locally by allowing a selective sync in Dropbox and saying Dropbox folders to synchronize and copy it to the local disk and which ignores.

  Are you using the selective sync Dropbox?

  However, I am not convinced that selective sync will give you the workflow that you are trying to reach.

• linked clone / use of disk space

  However, I am pretty new to LM.

  I was informed that a linked clone would take about 64 MB of disk space per box. I clone a bunch of fees Windosw 2003 OS just to test this linked clone ability out.

  The boxes are 27 GB of space to use before the cloning and 9.79 GB after cloning. This is still an economy but is not considerable 64 MB.

  Can someone give me some real estimates what to expect in terms of disk space using linked clones without and the changes made to the original system.

  Our main reason for the evaluation of the LM was to take advantage of the clones related as one of our servers that clone us is 500 GB in our environments so SAN space gets quickly chewed with each environment.

  I'm curious to know what others are recording using a linked clone.

  Cheers.

  Do not run a clone that is related to your model.

  Create a configuration and add machines based on your model for this configuration.

• LVM using virtual disks

  Hello

  I have a file CentOS server that is hosted by a host ESXi 4.  There are about 750 GB of storage.  Without changing the size of the blocks, the largest size I could do virtual disks was 256GB.  What I did is to use LVM to create a logical volume with 3 physical volumes of 256 GB.  Now, it seems that it works, but I wonder if this situation is less than ideal and also do not know if the performance degrade under load.

  If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.  I heard that VMDK files should not be used for fileserving, but if 750Go is used only to approximately 50 users, is this good?

  Concerning

  Stu

  Now, it seems that it works, but I wonder if this situation is less than ideal and also do not know if the performance degrade under load.

  It is not true.

  It is "similar" to a RAID0, more critical, but could be faster (cause you different drives).

  If vmdk is on the same physical disks have no improved performance.

  But IMHO I'd rather have a single drive with no concatenation or unique "RAID0" failure point.

  Under Linux you can use the different mount point (on Windows you can use a 'different' mount point) and achieve a similar goal.

  There are also symbolic links to the map, different drives.

  I heard that VMDK files should not be used for fileserving, but if 750Go is used only to approximately 50 users, is this good?

  It's ok, it is not a reason for not have not on a virtual computer file server.

• A question about the use of disk space free on a RAID 10 for ASM?

  Is it possible to install/configure 11gDB under the CARS using left over 300 GB of disk space.
  
  I have all my drives configured in RAID 10 and I have 11g THAT RAC installed. I uninstalled RAC and database and then added the required RPM (ASM library and drivers).
  
  Successfully installed the RAC and then proceeds to installation and configuration of 11gDB for ASM using the available disk space.
  
  Is this possible? I get the error message: 11g DB intalled on RAC1 ASM cannot be used until the Oracle CSS service is started.
  
  Thank you

  You get this because CSS is not started, and ASM, it needs.

  As root, go in $ORACLE_HOME/bin and run:
  #. / Add a localconfig

• Need help to create a rule to monitor only Linux VMs on my virtual disk space production center

  I am trying to create a rule that will follow my Linux VM disk space. I have three virtual centres Foglight and I'm having a hard time trying to understand how to implement the rule. I tried by name as, but I can't understand how to restrict to a certain VC. I have no common naming convention for machines virtual linux.

  VMWVirtualMachineLogicalDisk where (name like ' mq %, WFD, fam, fdb % % %, % of the MAS ")

  or

  VMWVirtualMachineLogicalDisk where (name like ' / %'))

  The first says the scope is valid but gives me nothing in the Rulette and no warning. The other gives me all virtual machines with their VM number but still not get all type of alerts.

  For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

  Brian,

  Thanks to a bouquet. I tried to get this to work for several days. I modified it to include only Linux as the example above always gave me some Windows file systems.

  VMWVirtualMachineLogicalDisk where (virtualMachine.virtualCenter.name like 'vCenter %' and virtualMachine.host.os.longName = "Linux (OperatingSystem)")

• Better use of disk space on the server esxi (for data store)

  I have a HP Proliant DL380G6 which currently has 2 146 GB hard drives in a Raid0 configuration.  We quickly realize that this is not enough space for all of the virtual machine, we have running.

  Is there a way of 'clean' to add disks to this server - by this I want to say one where we don't have to add readers, and then reconfigure the raid5 raid card, and reinstall...

  And on a related issue (even if it may seem irrelevant):

  Some of our virtual machines are currently on a mounted NFS datastore that I want to spend in the local data store.  One of them has quite a few clichés that take up a lot of space.  What is the CORRECT way to migrate the virtual machine to the other local datastore, get rid of all snapshots (maintenance of the VM in its current state)?

  Believe it or not. . Just select Remove all.

  You are here is not a cliché. . It's your current state and not be deleted unless you select "go to" (note the different icon)

  (even if I understand your concern)

  If you are really nervous and wants to prove it to yourself, just test it on a virtual machine with no snapshots (create a snapshot, add a file, delete the snapshots and see if the files still exists)

• Use of disk space

  I just finished installing windows 7 Home premium that it shows who used 58.9 GB on my hard drive. the box says 20 gig for the installation of 32-bit. whythe difference? It was a fresh install of XP

  Check to know whether there is a Windows.old folder.  It must contain data files, RTC of the XP installation. If you do not need, it can be removed.
