Hi just a note, this is the process ubuntuone seems to follow: copy files to u1 folder index and create metadata (depending on amount of files this could take hours)
had shutdown PC at this time on boot and client startup, read metadata (took 7 hours today) client icon changes to rotating arrows and notification comes up saying updating files (sits like this for a minute or 2) Icon changes to full cloud, when you click on it it says your files are up to date (they are not files still to be uploaded) syncdaemon now starts up again and is processing files again. I suspect once this step is complete the upload will start Would just like to mention my experiences so the dev team can see where they can improve. Severe improvements is required. I think that the purge process should run 1st, check files by timestamp and size and whatever is changed must be marked for index and upload and what hasn't changed must be ignored, what does not exists anymore must be removed before the metadata read occurs. then index the files and save the metadata in a db or flat file instead of a single metadata file per file in u1 folder. Changes discovered in purge process above can then be updated into the metadata db and changed files can then be uploaded. The only process which should take long is indexing the files. once they are indexed the startup,scan,compare and update process should be almost instant. then the upload can start immmediatly -- ubuntuone takes more than a day, if at all, to read the metadata and start uploading files to web https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539573 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
