I installed ML 10.8.2 a couple of weeks ago and have been trying to make various components work. Right now i need to get the HDMI audio working on my ga-h77-d3h. I am using the igp HD4000 (HD4000 works, last week was able to get the ethernet ar8161 recognized)
Anyways tonight i was reading everything that i could find about HDMI audio for vt2021 and was longer on the machine when i recieved the message that my startup disk is running low on space. At this moment, i do not have much installed on a 100 gb partition so i checked through get info and i had only 586 mb left. And while i was still looking, ever 10 to 20 secs the free space kept decreasing and decreasing. Not knowing what to do i restarted the system and used get info again. Voila, the used space was only 9 gb and free space of about 91 gb, however, it started decreasing every 10 to 20 secs by about half an mb (without the disk usage led showing any activity).
I am a total newbe and have no idea on how to even figure out the problem let alone how to troubleshoot. I am mostly a windows user and can pretty well troubleshoot many issues, however, since i installed ML, i have fallen in love with it. It is truely a marvelous OS and extremely fluent, but my learning curve is being hindered but some initial quirks that needs fixing (HDMI audio etc) so i can use time machine to save a working copy of the system befor i start installing stuff on it. (For me, i think, if audio starts working (and space usage mystry solved, i would be a very happy camper).
Anyways, I need community help with figuring out whats going on with my HD space, why is it being used with such a speed and why i get the space back after reboot, though if i can just fix the issue, that is what counts most
***** It would not be a good system if it kept running out of space (about 90 gigs of it) in about an hour thus forcing a reboot every hour of use. *****
Please help,
Thanks
