TICKET ARCHIVE -> Missing Hd Space
panda - Oct 9, 2005 - 5:00 pm
This has been driving me nuts.
I do hope you can help.
I have an aluminium G4 Powerbook with an 80GB hard drive.
I installed Jaguar 10.2.8 initially with a 15GB partition as a boot disk, and the remainder (60GB, presumably the 5GB taken up by the OS).
My 15GB boot drive only has 2.46GB left, not enough to burn a DVD.
Yet I am only using less than 6GB, so there is at least 9GB missing.
I have run countless cache deleting applications, from memory these include Mac Janitor, Macaroni, Cocktail, OmniDiskSweeper, repaired permissions everywhere, searched for files folders and caches of all visibility, and cannot for the life of me find where all this space has gone.
Please can you help me out before I have to reformat the drive and start from scratch.
Oh - and my keyboard backlight no longer works which is annoying, I loved that feature at night.
Any help would be most gratefully recieved, I really am stumped. I'm not an expert and I'm extremely nervous about using Terminal commands.
It seems to have started when I installed BSD, Nicotine, X11, fink, and all the other stuff in a failed attempt to get Soulseek running.
I followed the steps in this link:
http://captnswing.net/howto/nicotine/
but would prefer to remove the lot now as I don't know if they are harming my machine, and I don't know a thing about Java.
HELP!?!??
Thanks guys - Kieron.

Ok, so first take a deep breath, BSD related stuff, X11 and fink will not harm your machine - beyond taking up some disk space.
I don't know what Nicotine is, but I would expect it to be less harmful than the version you inhale...
Now to find out where the diskspace is going you can use some very easy commands in Terminal, nothing destructive, just that no part of the system is hidden from you (like Finder only shows you half of your files).
Start a Terminal (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal) and enter the following command (using an administrator account):
du -sckx /*
You will probably get some "permission denied" errors, that you can readily ignore.
This command will give you and estimate of the disk space usage in KiloBytes of every top-level directory on your boot disk.
You can then inspect individual directories, e.g. by issuing
du -sckx /Applications/*
or just send me the output of that first command. If you have a full fink installation in "/sw", then our "du" might already show that "/sw" uses several GigaBytes; in this case the search is over, otherwise we'll have to see...
Ciao, Colin

Any of this make sense??

Let's see ... the last line of the first command shows a good 12 GB used, so that fits to the partition size of 15 GB with less than 4 GB free.
Looking for the biggest numbers we find /System with 1 GB, which is normal, then you have 3 GB in /Applications, and 7 GB in /Users. This brings us to about 11 GB, leaving 1 GB for all the rest.
Looking at /Applications we can see /Applications/Reason weighing in at 1.4 GB, so that's nearly half of the 3 GB!
You can now start looking at the applications and deciding what you want to delete - though as we can see, quite a few of them are so small that it won't help a lot.
As for /Users, you can now issue the command
du -sckx /Users/*
or perhaps better run the command as super-user:
sudo du -sckx /Users/*
(you need to do this from an account with administrator right, and you will be asked for your password when you execute the "su" command with the "sudo" in front.)
If one directory, say /Users/example, is very much largen than the others, just do a
sudo du -sckx /Users/example/*
etc. so you can nail down where all the data is...
Ciao, Colin

Hi Colin - just to say - I finally tracked down the missing data last night - it turns out my better half had been keeping her iTunes music in her account section of the HD, instead of the partition I use away from the boot drive - so that's what happened to the 6GB or so.
It didn't show up on the search I guess because it was in her account, weird, but makes sense if I didn't do a sweep from her account, only mine.
Just wanted to say thanks a million for your prompt advice, you're a star, I can now burn DVD's and the like without frustration - and if you have any need for a bunch of music - I have thousands of tracks, (mostly perfectly legal!) and would be happy to mail you a copy of my library if you like.
email me your address, if you wish, and I will pop them in the post, I'm in London, England, I guess you're in the States (?) but if you want 6000 tracks from the last 20 years, mostly obscure rock, electronica and funky dance music (I'm a DJ, so I get access to some pretty good stuff!) then feel free, it would be the least I could do.
My personal email is:
getkieron@btinternet.com
Thanks again Colin!!

Glad that you got everything sorted out ... and thank you for your kind offer, but I only accept fresh pizza as payment - if and when possible ;-)
