If you use Dropbox for linux, this could be for you. Last month we ran up 53 gigs of internet traffic, while normal use is 13.5 gigs. I happened to notice that a backup of a constructed root partition was not being fully uploaded. In fact, certain folders were fully uploaded, but the folder title or directory entry did not clear to indicate "done" . This also pertained to a mtab file copy.
So about 40 gigs a month of Dropbox attempts to sync 2 linux computers on a common network. How to know it was dropbox? Watch the modem lights, and as we cancelled each Dropbox, the flickering dropped by 50%. I reported the bugs to Dropbox. If they come with a fix, great. Problem is independent of OPSYS, (Fedora, UBUNTU 11.x), Debian, Scientific Linux but appears to be a bug in the way they handle ext4 files. ------------------ Regards Leslie Mr. Leslie Satenstein 50 years in IT and going strong.
