Netbeans optimize disk usage?

Try to deactivate the Local maybe it is causing the high disk usage. (Be careful if you don't have any vcs).

Try to deactivate the Local maybe it is causing the high disk usage. (Be careful if you don't have any vcs) Although I've never have a problem with Netbeans and disk usage, maybe your disk is broke.

Deactivating Local The disk is not broken, otherwise it would be broken for all apps not only for NB. When I type in editor "use Symf" there appears a box for code hinting and the title says "Please Wait". The disk works.

Only after 1-2 seconds there appears a list of possible code. In other editors (e.g. Eclipse, Visual Studio) code hinting appears immediately and without audible disk usage. – camcam Sep 24 at 7:33.

I have been using NetBeans since version 3. X I have never seen it access the disk all the time. I have regularly ~20 projects open with ~350.000 LOC You should first make sure it's actually NetBeans that does the disk access (on Windows you can do this with ProcessExplorer, don't know about Linux).

If it's really NetBeans, you could try to give it more memory to cache more data in memory. See the NetBeans FAQ for details And of course make sure your system is not swapping because you have too many programs open (even though it's very unlikely with 8GB RAM but not unseen...). If you already configured NetBeans to use more memory, maybe you gave it too much and that's why the system is swapping (just a thought).

Is your project stored in Subversion? Do you use TortoiseSVN? With he default installation TortoiseSVN has a background process that caches information about the status of your versioned files.

I have seen that scanning the whole harddisk in the background...

I added a line with "-J-Xmx2560m" to the netbeans. Conf and restarted, but no change at all. Well, the issue I am describing does not make it very hard to use NB, it's just uncomfortable because of the disk noise during typing.

I have no clue about SVN, I just started Symfony2 and doing a basic tutorial. And it is not another program because there is only Firefox and Explorer. – camcam Sep 24 at 8:05 Actually, I found that just pressing Enter for a new line in NB causes a first 0,5 second burst of disk usage and then another.So not only code hinting.

If I just press Enter in the editor constantly, nothing else, I make my disk work all the time. Maybe NB just works this way, I never used it before – camcam Sep 24 at 8:15 NetBeans definitely does not work that way. Although I have never used that Symfony2 plugin - maybe it's the plugin that does this disk access.

– a_horse_with_no_name Sep 24 at 8:17 I deactivated the "Support for Symfony framework" plugin (img684.imageshack. Us/img684/6487/47261881. Jpg) and restarted but actually nothing changed - there is still code hinting for framework classes.

But it's not my point to disable hinting, anyway. I tried to type in a simple text file and css file and the disk was silent.So the issue is only in php. – camcam Sep 24 at 8:32 I'm using NetBeans for Java development, so that's a difference.

You should open an issue in the NetBeans bug tracker. Btw: which version are you using? – a_horse_with_no_name Sep 24 at 8:55.

Here is a workaround which solves the problematic symptoms, i.e. The NetBeans editor now works without small delays from code hinting and the disk is quiet. I installed RAMDisk with 500MB capacity.

Then I moved the . Netbeans folder with user files to this RAMDisk, as described in wiki.netbeans. Org/FaqWhatIsUserdir.

Just FYI, moving the project folder itself made no difference, only . Netbeans folder was necessary to move.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
