Harddisk-Trick: Platzhalter-Files

Tue 11. Sep 2007 - Sam -

Ist das nicht eine kreative Arbeitsweise?

I usually create a few files, let’s say 5 GB each, on my hard drive. Whenever I run out of disk space, I can just drop a couple of those and keep working – that buys me some time. If I am in a hurry, dropping a placeholder file is a quick fix.

Im Gegensatz dazu recht mechanisch ein Kommentar dazu:

I don’t get what this buys you, except more low disk space warnings than you probably need. Why not just NOT create the placeholder files, and then just use your space?
