i've tested this with some not too uncommon disk images such as a 32GB volume that is essentially empty and the api endpoint here just times out. which is not too surprising. i wonder if we can cache the hashes here somehow and calculate them in a worker tasks. i also wonder how this should ideally work for running vm and container images as their checksum could change all the time. maybe we can at least calculate the hashes here for some more static assets such iso etc. ahead of time and only enable this flag for things like that (so isos, container templates, images of vm and container templates etc.) basically things that don't change that much? > + } > + > return $entry; > }, > }); _______________________________________________ pve-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-devel
