![]() However, luckily, there are some nice Finder alternatives for Mac available. ![]() Plus, Apple hasn’t made any efforts to update Finder in a long time. But, despite being the default Apple program, it lacks many features. It is an indeed powerful file manager and graphical user interface tool for Macintosh. This blog post only addresses one of the issues faced in running Scalr and has nothing to do with the Scalr software itself.If you are a Mac user, you probably already have a bittersweet relationship with Mac Finder. Note: Scalr is a fantastic software that works great. In order to avoid future issues, I added a cron job to delete the files in the clientmqueue folder periodically. Once done the inode utilization fell to 7% and the system is again fine. (You may want to execute the command in the background in a screen command). On my instance this command ran for a few hours due to the large number of files. type f -print0 | xargs -0 rm” command in the /var/spool/clientmqueue folder. Even an “rm -rf *” at the clientmqueue folder will not work and you will see the “Argument list too long” after some time. An “ls” in this folder ended up with my terminal “hanging” as there were so many files created in that folder. After a lot of hunting I ended up with the /var/spool/clientmqueue directory. This was very strange since there was still about 25GB free on the disk.Īfter checking all kinds of configurations and permissions, a google search yielded lack of inodes as a possible error!Ī quick “df -i” confirmed the error, IUse% was 99 and there were a handful of inodes free! Tracing this back to find out where all the inodes had been consumed took longer. On my instance I have sendmail turned off so that these email notifications don’t go out.Īfter running continuously for about 4 months, the Scalr instance started failing with an “Out of diskspace” error. Scalr generates a lot of email notifications via the Cron jobs. Recently had another quirky issue with Scalr. Scalr running out of disk space if sendmail not running! Note: The problem I had was specifically to do with SAP GUI for Mac OS not running after installation. This establishes a symlink from 1.6 to 1.7 and tricks the OS into thinking that Java is installed. Sudo ln -s /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_10.jdk /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk Sudo mkdir /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines Its easy to “trick” the system: Depending on the update of Java installed a Symlink for that folder needs to be created. This is due to the fact that Mountain Lion still “thinks” Java is not installed as it looks for 1.6. This is strange since Java was just successfully installed. Try running some Java programs like Eclipse and you may find a message popping up “To open “Program Name,” you need a Java SE 6 runtime. Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.6-b04, mixed mode) ![]() Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_10-b18) In all probability you will see the following: You can download and install it from the Oracle site: Īfter installing the Java runtime, open a terminal window and type java -version. Mountain Lion does not have Java installed. Mountain Lion complains about missing Java although Java 7 is installed Don’t know why Apple can’t just integrate TF into Finder. In my view enhancing Finder with TF is way better then paying for a Finder replacement. And since its part of Finder all “Show in finder” menu clicks from any app will still give you access to the enhanced Finder. System Wide Visor hot key to open a Finder window from wherever you are.īest of all its FAST wihtou adding any appreciable overhead to Finder. Straight forward Cut/Copy/Paste options.Ĥ. Folders appear first in sort (bless you)ģ. Tabbed (No need to search for that window again :)Ģ. The best part of TF is of course that it does not “replace” finder but “enhances” it. And where is Cut/Paste? Its hidden under copy and paste with Alt modifier!īut this can all be a thing of the past with Total Finder, a Finder plugin. The biggest grouse is of course searching for that elusive Finder window to copy the document to. Compared to Windows Explorer, Finder misses some real basic features. Finder replacements are a common hunt especially for people who convert from Windows to Mac.
