Hello,
I run Os X Server 10.2.3 on a partition of 10 Go,
I've a cloned backup on a firewire drive (exact clone on 10 Go
partition too; I used the excellent CarbonCopyCloner 2.1.2 to do this).
Since a week or too can't remember exactly I have a message saying
something like my disk space is full and that I should close
application and restart. My only choice then is to force restart the
server ;-(
This is the first strange thing, BUT even more strange is I've only 800
Mo left on the disk !!!! instead of 6 Go left on the Backup clone
?????? So I've got more or less 5 invisible Go I just can't find.
There is only the users Home directories and some Applications stored
on the startup disk
the total amount of users is ± 520 Mo, Apps ± 500 Mo.
I used tinkertool to see all invisible files and I've checked quite all
folders & files but I can't find those 5Go…
the only difference is I've tuned Journalisation ON on the 'real'
startup disk wich I did not do on the clone one (Ok so they're not so
exactly the same : I also installed MacAnalysis and VLC5 but this is
the only Big difference…).
the server is never shutted down and I only do file sharing (No web
site, No FTP, No SMB sharing, nothing, only AFP)
I've also noticed a file I don't Have on the backup Clone
'.D+XserverHD' [serverHD is the partition name] and similar file on my
partitions or disks.
So is this file due to Journalisation and Could the journalisation be
responsible for those 5 invisible Go ???
I run Drive10 1.1.4 but it didn't notice Big things. the same with fsck
-y -f…
As I don't do P2P I can't believe I would have been Hacked for storage
but Who knows ? and MacAnalysis didn't see any Trojan either…
So before I erase the first disk and clone it back with the Backup I
have I just wanted to know if anyone Had a clue or so ??? Because I'm
really in the 4th dimension here !!!
Voilà, I'll call Apple tomorrow just to know if they are aware of such
a strange thing… but I don't really count on them.
Thanks
