Hmmm, a restore of my iPhone 5S found and freed 7,3 GB from nowhere?!

I know, having 16 GB iPhone s%&ks , and I am getting used to see the “Storage almost full” message almost every day;

Every time I enter the Manage Storage screen to see what I can delete, but lately I has become more difficult to actually find something to delete! Below you see the status I had before my restore;

116 MB left.... My largest application is 547 MB so I couldn’d quite the numbers to add up. I therefore did a manual calculation of all the applications listed in the screen above, and came in just over 4 GB Disappointed smile ... where the h&%k had the other 7,6 GB gone? And yes, I tried to delete all logs and data from Safari, Youtube and whatever app I could think of. Somehow something had my memory...

Reading on the net reveals that I am not the only one (such as this from the Apple forums) with these problems. One of the suggested options is to restore my phone, and so I did .... Now, one hour later I have this memory status;

7.3 GB free again!

So, something was holding my memory after all, and when a restore can clean up, so should iOS do too without forcing a user to restore!

Domino 9.0.1 FP5 finally installed, but "nsdhelp.dll" was missing afterwards ...

According to this news flash from IBM, they ackowledge that there is some problems with the FPP5 updater. Indeed so, it won’t install if you have hotfixes installed as I blogged about here.

The news flash from IBM also stated that you could rerun any hotfix-installers to revert back to the previous level of code. I found my HF419 installer and ran it again. First it identified that I could revert back to vanilla 9.0.1 FP4 level, and I continued... First off I got this:

... hmmm, for some reason the updater didn’t finish off the running nsd.exe, so I had to do that manually via the Windows Task Manager. Re-ran the code and now it finished with success Smile 

Time to re-run the FP5 updater, and this time it correctly identified the 9.0.1 FP4 code and let me finish with success.

However, on a re-start of the Domino server, it couldn’t start due to a missing nsdhelp.dll file;

Bummer!! I couldn’t find it anywhere on my server, so I had to restore it from my backup!!

The last sign of nsdhelp.dll is in the UPGRADE.LOG and it seems like the HF419 renamed it:

...
Rename: canFileName: nsdhelp.dll, dw = 9
Temp file size was 0: UPTMP0009.TMP
....

Seems like the FP5 updater went a tad too fast through the quality control this time. Normally I would say that upgrading the server has been a breeze over the last years. Just download the updater, run it, and voila ... the server is updated.

I currently have Domino 9.0.1 FP4 HF419 on Win32 installed.

Some days ago IBM released the FixPack 5 (FP5) for IBM Notes and Domino 9.0.1. Very soon after problems were discovered with the client installer and the FP5 updater was withdrawn. I can just confirm that the Domino updater also has problems, if you have installed hotfixes. Below is the screenshot from the updater:

Unfortunate that the updater doesn’t “roll over” the hotfixes....  Next thing is to try to uninstall the HF419 and then try FP5 updater again Smile
