Disk Usage 100% - to be expected?
I just had a hassle with my machine moving like cold treacle.
Task Manager said in 'processes' that disk was 50%
But in 'performance' it said disk 0 - drives C: and E: - was 100%
There's also a 1T drive J but it didn't get a mention.
I stopped windows search and I tried to stop superfetch but it wouldn't stop.
I saw a couple of processes with enormous disk I/O - JoinMeAssistant Service and Micro Focus Compliance Enforcement daemon.
I stopped the JoinMe thing but it didn't seem to do any good.
So then I reset the virtual mem which was on automatic to recommended start at about 2G I think to my chosen max at 12G because I've got 8G ram on this box and about 250G free on the C: drive where I put the pagefile.
Then I rebooted and it was better but still not fixed and the Task Manager showed the disk still at 100%.
Got me worried enough to start writing this but now I see the Disk is down to 1%, the Micro Focus thing seems to have disappeared and the JoinMe has only made 9 I/O writes this session.
So I guess I could throw this query away but i won't. I'll just ask if all of the above seems perfectly natural and is there any software that would look after all that for me: notifying when something seems out of balance - and are there any clues or recommendations people have for me in order to tame my wild and woolly machine?
