What is the free space in Vista variant of +/-50 GB?

Last night when I went to bed my system reported that I had 60 GB free. This afternoon, he pointed out that I have more than 111 GB of free. I have not emptied the trash, run Disk Cleanup, installed updates (it is set to "notify me but do not install" after this update in the fall of 2009, which made me unable to get on the internet) or anything that could justify such a wide gap.
Accustomed to the amount of free space fluctuating by the swap file systems, I'm my system has only 6 GB RAM and what I have observed, I rarely fully used that. I expect a variance of + / 12 GB or more, not 50 GB.

Is it normal for Vista 64-bit home premium with AVG free or is something current weird that I should try to trace? I only noticed because I knew I had to free 20 GB (probably more like 30-40) for a 580 GB partition on a drive of 500 GB of images and was preparing to move some installers downloaded from CDs and DVDs.

To study disk space, use download and install Treesize (freeware).

Information about Treesize

http://www.Jam-software.com/treesize_free/

When you open Treesize scan select in the Menu and you will see a list of drives. Click on C and it will generate a list of files. Display names and 6 larger files sizes and the total at the top of the list.

To reconcile Treesize figures with the size of a partition (or drive), you must make allowances according to this formula:
Partition C + folder System Volume Information + Free space + file compression gain = ability to drive or partition

To determine the size of the System Volume Information folder, select Start, Control Panel, system, System Protection, click Configure under Protection settings. What is the figure of the current use?

  • Cannot use disk utility to create the partition of the free space on the external USB drive.

    I have a red 3 TB Western Digital drive in a USB hard drive docking station.

    The reader is GPT, and I have two volumes on it (a single volume is "Microsoft reserved", another volume is NTFS).

    The other part of my drive is 1.5 TB of free space. I want to create a new partition with free space so that I can put backups Time Machine encrypted external hard disk.

    I checked free space on the drive with my Windows machine:

    I took the hard drive of my MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 and pulled towards the high disk utility, but for some reason, that it does not resemble the disk utility it is to see the free space, so I can't create a new volume.

    Here are a few screenshots:

    I'm a new Mac user. My company recently gave me a Mac, so the first thing I want to do is to create a new partition on this external USB drive to put backups Time Machine figures on it.

    In the research I did find a way to do it on a mac computer without erasing the drive and starting over. But you can go to your windows computer and partition the free space of disks. Then use the mac to set the free space as mac os extended journaled. Here's what I found. http://www.PCWorld.com/article/2066191/how-to-partition-a-hard-drive.html the only other way would be to copy the file on the external drive, somewhere, so you can delete it and re partition for windows and mac. Then reinstall windows files. I'm not familiar with windows systems.

  • Calculate the free space of the lob segment / reclaim space?

    Friends...

    DB: 11 GR 2

    OS: Linux

    I am trying shrink lob segment and recover the free space between the business segments.

    This area in Oracle DB is new to me so try to learn and to shrink the segment.

    I went through various metalink doco (386341.1) but not be able to get answers for below...

    Issues related to the:

    1. how much free space is available in the lob segment?

    2 can I assume 'no LOB DATA' as the free space currently and even will be recovered once the segment will be shrunk?

    3. no disadvantage of using "ALTER TABLE... SHRINK SPACE.

    4. is it true if storage segment is 100 GB as many redo will be generated when trying to alter table... shrink the space?

    I'm following the steps below.

    1 find Segment name-> sys_lob123

    2. find the size of storage - > 100 GB

    3. find the size of the LOB data-> 70

    4. find the size of the data not LOB-> 30

    2. the storage size

    Select 'storage' from dba_extents bytes

    where nom_segment = 'sys_lob123. '

    100 GB

    3. the size of the LOB

    Select dbms_lob.getlength (col_lob) in the table_lob;

    70 GB

    4. the size of the LOB data not

    100-70 = 30 GB (i.e. #3 - #2)

    Thanks in advance and enjoy your time looking into this...

    Use DBMS_REDEFINITION to reorganize the LOB segment, it is the best way to retrieve a LOB segment space. Also use the clause "MEANS of COMPRESS" and SECURE LEADER, creating the temp table. There is no reason that you can use the BASIC FILE. It's online process, which means that your app can stay up to... However, make sure that monitor you the database when executing redef, as it can cause conflicts and slow down your application, in which case you must kill the reorg...

    If this process is not feasible or overwhelms you, "ALTER TABLE MOVE" is another option.

    With 'Displacement of Alter table', you need to rebuild all indexes after you move the LOB segment. Don't forget this is an offline process and your application needs a time out while you do this.

    Here is the query to list the 10 LOBs albums in your database-

    fixed line 160

    Col a20 PROPRIETARY format

    Col TABLE_NAME format a30

  • Calculation of the free space in a data file

    Hello

    I use Oracle database 11g (11.1.0.6). I need to calculate available disk space that exist in a special database for inserting new records. I look in the table dba_data_files for this information. I use the sub query to get the value of maxsize allocated in GB this until datafile that it can grow.

    Select maxbytes/1024/1024/1024 of dba_data_files where nom_tablespace = 'XXXX '.

    How to get the disk space available for the insertion of new records in a particular data file or a bunch of data files in a tablespace?

    Use

    select sum(bytes/1024/1024/1024) GB from dba_free_space where tablespace_name='tablespace name'
    

    Know schemae storage space

    select default_tablespace from dba_users where username='schema name';
    

    Know the perticular table tablespace

    select TABLESPACE_NAME from dba_tables where table_name='table name';
    

    Utimetly you will be insert in tablespace, little matter how many data file you have and how many girl and how many of them have the space available.
    So just to worry when the table space is saturated.

  • If my insert takes the free space above the pctfree?

    Hi guys,.

    If I have my pctfree set at 25%, my block is currently used by 70%, and I do an insert that will leave free of only 5%, Oracle will migrate the line that I inserted, while 25% is still free?

    Thank you

    OGUY,

    Oracle will string your line. Migration is happening with the Update statement, not with the insert command. If you insert a line that exceeds the free space of the block, oracle will be chaining line in multi parts be stored.

  • What is the problem with Windows Vista?

    It's Windows Vista just bad or what!

    Sorry for my title, but I have had serious problems lately and it has been really frustrating.  This all started when I got a game, Civilization V, to be exact, as a gift.  Now, I use a laptop that is not done for the games, but I am able to run games of different strategy on a low setting without problem.  When I installed Civilization V, however, it did not work, saying that I had to download Windows Vista Service Pack 2.

    The reason why I didn't have SP2 was because I disabled the auto-update feature.  I did not want Microsoft to auto-updated my computer because it just add more files to my computer - right which may be unnecessary, i.e. IE and take hard drive space.  However, because I really wanted to play the game, I was like, so can download SP2.

    This is when the problems started to arise.  First of all, somehow, I'm done with DirectX 11.  From my understanding, XP is associated with DirectX 9, Vista with DirectX 10 and Windows 7 with DirectX11.  I have Windows Vista, but I have DirectX 11 is installed.  How is that possible?  This in turn makes Civilization V quite unstable.

    But, I'm not really upset to have the correct version of DirectX, because in all honesty, I have accidentally installed when I installed the game.

    WHAT I'M REALLY UPSET is how SP2 has completely messed up my computer.  First of all, he did my laptop completely unstable.  My starting times vary.  Sometimes, I have a blue screen when I start my computer.  Also, it has substantially increased the amount of energy/process my uses of the computer.  While my laptop has a skinny 1 HR autonomy on SP1, it has now a little 15 min autonomy on SP2.

    But perhaps what really upsets me is that since I installed SP2, I've lost half a gig of hard drive space whenever I restart my computer.  And since my computer has become unstable, I have to reboot more often then usual.  I got 10 GB of free hard disk space and now I only have 200 MB.  I tried 'disk cleanup', but now my computer has only 4 gigs.  Where's the other 6 GB?

    And the worst, Vista is that research is absolutely useless.  Find recent files that have been created (since if I lose 500 MB every time you start, I need to create some sort of file), but my search comes up with no results.

    I write because I need solutions to these three things:

    (1) how can I make SP2 uses less memory and processes?  I wish that my life of battery 1 h back instead of 15 min.

    (2) MOST IMPORTANT: How can I prevent my computer whenever I restart the loss of 500 MB of hard drive?

    (3) what are the means that would allow me to search my computer so that I can understand why I keep losing hard drive space?

    I can't believe that Microsoft will come out with an "update" which downgrades your computer actually.  And I am sure that I do not have a virus, because I have not downloaded anything / visited all websites summary recently at 90%.

    Thank you.

    Access your site from manufacturers of portable, specific to your model and update all the drivers available.

    Then to winupdate parameters depend on important updates ONLY, by installing not important updates, you leave your computer at risk and bug fixes will not be implimented

  • Ability to store data about the free space is not the same in VMware and 3PAR

    Hello

    I'm running vSphere version 5.1.0 Server build 799731 and all my ESXi hosts running the same version: 5.1.0 799733.

    I use 3PAR as a storage system for my VMware environment, but on some of my LUN created, I get a different number on what is currently available as a free space on the LUN.

    On a LUN (LUN2_R5), vmware says that is has a capacity of 3 to and free pace on TB 2.08 (and it has been updated this morning).

    But if I look in my view of 3PAR system, the same number of unit logic (LUN2_R5) has a size of 3 TB, but the size of the user used in 85% (2.6 TB of data).

    If I do a look of VMware in the LUN, corresponds to the size on the LUN with the VMware view server, but I do not understand why 3PAR has another number.

    Can you help me?

    Kind regards

    Carl-Marius

    Your storage system only "knows" what's on the VMFS file system. As soon as the space is allocated, it is marked as used from the point of view to the storage.
