FYI: the process does not hang in an infinite loop. It just takes *very* long :-( This bug is caused by bad implementation of the merging process of snar files (files that store the metadata for incremental backups). When a backup is about being removed other backups might get merged since they depend on another. Every time this happens (and actually it happens every time a backup is removed) the metadatas are merged. And now consider two files containing metadata of 100.000 files that are merged using a not so smart algorithm.
In fact, the problem of snapshot removal is much more complicated (in a performance way) than it appears at first glance. -- nssbackup causes python process to run on 100% CPU in a loop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585358 You received this bug notification because you are a member of NSsbackup team, which is subscribed to NSsbackup. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
