Where did all the memory go?
by guy crossman on Jul 3, 2009 at 6:10:53 pm

I am running FCP 6 on a Dual 2.5 G5, with 6.5gb RAM and several external drives which contain all my media.
My 150GB hard drive keeps telling me it is so full that it can't autosave but I don't see how it can be.
It doesn't list anything like 150GB of stuff on it, and Omnidisk sweeper tells me I have only used 44.1 Gb. Whatsize tells me the same. I have checked the disc with first aid and it tells me it is fine, and I have repaired the permissions. I have tried Onyx.
Any ideas about where my memoory has gone?

Is Autosave set to the right disk? (look in System Settings)

Thanks Jaap, but I checked and the autosave is set to one of the externals- so what is filling up the disk? Thanks anyway Guy

Hmm... I have no idea, but I would check if the same problem occurs with Render Files, or with Autosave set to another disk - this may help to find the underlying cause.
