What is it with the disk-space problems?
Seriously - how difficult is it to figure out how much disk space is available on a volume? I do remember the “old days” when disks went across the 32GB boundary and the data type used to store the disk-free-information was stored in a signed value and applications got confused with the “minus some number of GBs available”. But nowadays that should not be a problem anymore. At least, that’s what I thought.
Earlier on I tried to purchase some “Spiderman” cartoon episodes from the iTunes store. Most of them downloaded just fine, but the last 6 ones just give me an “err = -34″. The description tells me that I’m running out of disk space and that I should erase files or empty the trash.
Weird thing is that I have more than 50% available on my builtin 80GB disk and that the volume that hosts the iTunes library has 800GB available. How much more disk space does it need? Below is a screenshot with the disk information and the iTunes error message …
This should be filed under “Unnecessary annoyances …”
