Yesterday, my powerbook crashed pretty hard. It took about an hour to get it up and running roughly again, and luckily nothing had been lost. The hard disk seems extremely unstable, and I'm having a lot of quirky things happen to my user account.
I'm in the process of moving files to auxillary homes in preparation for a disk replacement, but I'm having trouble freeing up any room on my disk. I've moved far more than 10GB of music off of my computer, but I can't seem to get about 470MB of free space for some reason. This is a fairly serious problem, becuase I want to back up a significant portion of my files to DVD, but I'm not able to because I have to have as much free space on my HD as I do on the DVD.
In the past, this has not been a problem, and after FileVault has recovered unused space, I've had piles of room.
And, I cannot turn file vault off at this point, because I don't have nearly enough space to create a non-encrypted image.
Many thanks in advance
p.s. I couldn't find a thread regarding this, but if there is one, please direct me to it...
