New issue 22900 by rotmer: Downloads get cached and disk thrashing occurs http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=22900 Chrome Version : 4.0.213.0 (26961) OS + version : gentoo ~amd64 CPU architecture (32-bit / 64-bit): 64 window manager : openbox What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Start downloading http://mirror.yandex.ru/mirrors/ftp.videolan.org/vlc/1.0.2/vlc- 1.0.2.tar.bz2 2. 3. What is the expected result? Just download that file to the default location i set in the options. What happens instead? It is downloading right to the default location ~/dl i specified in the options. But also it is for some reason downloading another copy to file like ~/.cache/chromium/Cache/f_000284. Thats wouldn't bother me maybe much, but after ~2Mb of downloading disk thrashing starts, you know. Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot and backtrace if possible. Mounting ~/.cache to tmpfs helps, but thats not a solution.. Also --disk- cache-size=1 helps, but this is also not that good. I expected --media- cache-size=1 to help, but it is not.. By the way - disk thrashing also occurs when you watch videos on youtube. So - is there a way to turn off that duplication of downloads to cache ? Or how to deal with that disk thrashing ? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
