It seemed to be linked to time machine backups. I actually faced a similar problem on my MacBook Pro. On my hackintosh, the issue ended up resolving itself after I upgraded to a new drive and started time machine backups on a new, empty drive. Samsung 840PRO 256GB (macOS High Sierra 10.13.x)ĮDIT: Turns out that an installed application for syncing data, had for some reason synced files more than once and macOS treated these as system files My Late 2011 Macbook Pro, which uses a Samsung 850EVO and has "sudo trimforce enable" executed as well, does not have the same issue, so seems something with the CustoMac. Looking at the systemdrive about 220GB are used by the system itself, which makes no sense, as nothing is really installed yet. I have a Samsung 840PRO 256GB and trim support is enabled with "sudo trimforce enable".
Suddenly yesterday evening when I wanted to use it, the system was complaining about the disk being full. The computer has been running fine over the weekend and was not turned off. I have recently reinstalled my CustomMac, so that I had fresh start with High Sierra. (Its actually constantly decreasing, now down to 211.44).
Any help would be really appreciated !Įdit: While writing this post, my free storage in system information decreased to 211.92GB. CCC's cloned drive is showing pretty much the same amount of free space as my main drive, so the storage has to be somewhere but I have no clue where. I can't figure out where this storage is coming from. Tried talking to Apple about where I could look or what I could try in order to track down the source of this storage, but I got the boot for not running on original hardware for this machine (despite owning many apple products). Double checked disk utility, there is no other partitions on this drive, I've used this exclusively for my hackintosh for over 2 years without any issues. I also checked EFI, but this did not have any significant storage used either. Manually checked every parent folder inside /, /System/library/, /library, ~/, and ~/library including all hidden files and I could not find any abnormally large storage space used in any folder. Without this option if the search string contains multiple words, separated with spaces, then findstr will return lines that contain either word (OR).Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guide Options used by the findstr command in the example above: Option PS C:\> Select-String " ^SEARCH.*STRING$" file.txt
Grep a file for a pattern that matches a regular expression (case insensitive): # Windows CMDĬ:\> findstr /i /r /c:" ^SEARCH.*STRING$" file.txt PS C:\> Get-Alias | Out-String -Stream | Select-String "curl" If a command in PowerShell returns some objects, before parsing, they should be converted to strings using the Out-String -Stream command: # Windows CMD PS C:\> netstat -na | Select-String " PORT" Grep the output of a netstat command for a specific port: # Windows CMD
In a Windows PowerShell the alternative for grep is the Select-String command.īelow you will find some examples of how to “grep” in Windows using these alternatives.Ĭool Tip: Windows touch command equivalent in CMD and PowerShell!

The grep command in Linux is widely used for parsing files and searching for useful data in the outputs of different commands.
