Windows 2003 R2 - Missing Disk Space on System drive

[zinger-uk]

Hi,

We have a problem on one of our Domain Controllers which is running windows
2003 R2 server (SP2)

The server almost ran out of disk space I have managed to free up enough
disk space to give us some breathing room, but the MAJOR problem we have is
Windows Explorer is reporting that there is only 602MB free on the 8GB System
(C) drive.

But if you run chkdsk it reports that 4314608 KB is available (i.e. 4GB of
space)

Does anyone know how we can get the windows to recognise that we have 4GB of
free space and not 602MB

If we do a dir /a /s it reports that 4,029,885,992 bytes are used and that
631,287,808 bytes are free

The drive is formatted with NTFS

Disk Management shows that Capacity is 7.91GB & Free Space is 3.87GB

So we are baffled as to why windows is saying we only have 602MB of free
disk space

I have already run a chkdsk /f and rebooted the server which made no
difference, and I have defragged the C drive several times which also made no
difference.

Defragging will never free up disk space. It will only make your existing
files contiguous. Use one of the following tools to find out what's eating
up your disk space:
DriveUse:
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~nulifetv/freezip/freeware/index.html
Bullet Proof Folder sizes: http://www.foldersizes.com/

A general remark: 8 GBytes is very, very tight for a server system
partition. Even after you free up some space, you will keep on running
into problems. Your best strategy would be to buy a larger disk (they
cost very little these days!) and make your system partition 20 or 25
GBytes.

Thanks for the reply, But the problem we have is not that the fiiles on the
server are taking up 8GB of disk space its that windows thinks it only has a
4GB disk in some places, and in other places it shows it is a 8GB drive

I've already run folderszie againt the server and it reports that
4,0,29,885,992 bytes are in use out of the 8GB which should mean we have 4GB
free, but windows is saying we only have 602 MB free.

Although we have an 8GB drive the OS is treating it as though it is a 4GB
drive, even though disk manger and chkdsk report it as being an 8GB drive

Let's have a look at the output from these commands:

fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo c: > c:\test.txt
dir c:\ >> c:\test.txt
chkdsk c: >> c:\test.txt

Chkdsk.exe and fsutil.exe both report the same numbers:
You have an 8.3 GByte disk and about 4.3 GBytes free.
The "dir" command reports that you have about 630 MBytes
free. The only explanation I have is that you have disk quotas
enabled on your system drive.

 

[zinger-uk]

Hi,

I've checked that and the status of disk quotas is disabled for drive C

I did try enabling it and then disabling it just now - and that has made no
difference

quite an anoying issue this - after extensive surfing for answers - I've
only come up with a couple of other users with the same issue and no answers

It still sounds like a quota issue. I would get someone else to
have a careful look at the whole thing.

missing disk space

Did anyone found a solution yet ? I am having similar problem on Server 2003 SP2 - 13GB missing on 36GB disk. TreeSize reports 10GB used yet system itself claims there is only 10GB left on the disk.

Hello,

Please check the virtual memory that has been set on your server. You
can check that by following the below mentioned steps:

1) Right click "My Computer".
2) Click "Properties".
3) Click "Advanced".
4) Click "Settings" under "Performance".
5) Click "Advanced.
6) You will find "Total paging file size for all drives" under "Virtual
Memory".
7) You can split it across multiple drives. This way you will free up
the memory taken by your system on C: drive.

Missing disk space

I found the reason for the missing space on my server. The Trace Logs were configured for continuous recording which resulted in a huge hidden log file being stored on the disk. I deleted the file and everything adds up now.
To see possible log files go to Administrative Tools > Performance and check if any log files are being generated.
