[cvs - Ubuntu Linux] Hi,
Today I noticed that gamefile compaction of my big dbase (after a re-sort) does not work - in practice. Immediate throughput time estimates run into something like 225 minutes and after 45 minutes of 'crunching' the estimation goes up in line with the progress. Nothing to be done but to abort this fruitless operation. From the system monitor I see that scid receives only 3-4 % of the CPU, and that it is continuously in sync_page state; that is, waiting for a disk write operation to complete. I copied the database to my windoze box and the same compaction goes in 3 minutes and a bit, using the 3.7.1 release.. I fear that there is something rotten in my Linux build, in the tcl packages that are being used or even in the kernel. Although the latter does not seem very likely, since I do not see trouble like this with other software I use. Anyone a clue? Cheers, Joost. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Scid-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scid-users
