[Bug 1133477] Re: cut-n-paste move files got stuck forever
Attached is a debdiff for Xenial applicable to 1.28.2-1ubuntu1~16.04.1. ** Description changed: + [Impact] + Without these fixes, copying any more than a few files in several file managers including but not limited to Nautilus and Caja either completely freezes up the file manager (if this happens with a Cut and Paste, it destroys user data by leaving files half moved) or slows it down to a crawl. These bugs are not found when using the mv command in the terminal, which will copy the files in a couple of seconds at maximum. This is a nightmare for people who want to Cut and Paste a lot of files and who need to do it quickly. + + [Test Case] + Either find some files that you would be OK losing (or have a backup for) or create the files yourself. You can run the following command to generate 1024 empty 1 MB files (do this in an empty directory, where you have at least 1 GB of free space), which is a valid way to reproduce this bug: + + i=1 && while [ $i -lt 1025 ]; do dd if=/dev/zero of=$i bs=4k + iflag=fullblock,count_bytes count=1M; i=$[$i+1]; done + + (Credit to https://stackoverflow.com/a/11779492/4123313 and + http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/sect_09_02.html - also, + neither truncate or fallocate are used because the bug cannot be + reproduced when using those tools, my theory is that with dd it actually + writes the zeroes, with those tools, they say they wrote the zeroes to + the filesystems but it seems they actually didn't (something along the + lines of that), although I could be wrong) + + If you open Nautilus or Caja, and Cut and Paste these 1024 files + somewhere else, the transfer will slow to a crawl, and in one instance + where I tried this with 1024 empty 512 MB files, Nautilus actually + crashed. This is very different to using mv in the terminal before doing + it in the file manager, which transfers these files flawlessly. + + Once this fix is applied and I recreate these files, the transfer in + Nautilus and Caja is almost as fast as using mv (I'd say within a + second), which is what should happen. + + [Breakdown of the patches and the regression potential for each] + First, I'd like to thank levien for providing the bug report and the patch links to fix this. Without that, it would have been a bit more work to hunt down which patches are applicable. + + lp1133477-metadata-use-sequences-instead-of-lists.patch: + Patch Description: The metabuilder stores files and data in sorted lists. An insertion into a sorted list is done in linear time, which highly affects efficiency. In order to fix this, use GSequence instead which does insertion and deletion in logarithmic time. + + This patch is in here because it helps with a large amount of files. + Regardless if the files are 1 MB or 10 GB, the sorting of the files to + be moved/copied is inefficient. This addresses part of the problem by + making sure large amount of files can be dealt with efficiently. The + regression potential for this is low, and the only case that I can see + where a package would regress is a file manager that depends on (not + 100% on this theory but it's a possibility) monitoring the status of the + list at a given time, and is incompatible with using GSequence. In this + case, the package would have something peculiar hardcoded, and would + most likely have an upstream fix that could be backported because this + fix is in the gvfs release that is already in 17.04 and later (so they + should have fixed it already). I can't think of a package that does this + (from what I can tell, it's not sane code if it isn't compatible with + this change) but if something does regress, it should be trivial to fix. + + lp1133477-metadata-use-queues-instead-of-lists.patch: + Patch Description: Some of the lists used by the metabuilder have items appended to them. Appending to a list is done in linear time and this highly affects efficiency. In order to fix this, use GQueue which supports appending in constant time. + + This patch is extremely similar in function to the last one, but this + one addresses items appended to a list instead of files and data in + sorted lists. As such, the regression potential is similar (low) because + it would involve a package hardcoding some things that are incompatible + with GQueue, and would most likely have an upstream fix that could be + backported because this fix is in the gvfs release that is already in + 17.04 and later (so they should have fixed it already).

[Bug 1133477] Re: cut-n-paste move files got stuck forever
Thanks again for taking the time. It's difficult to say exactly the number at which it occurs because there's a point at which the normal time to copy a small number of files crosses the point where it is no longer normal to copy lots of small files. I can say that I've never _noticed_ it with less than 50 files, but then again - even if it happened with less than 50 files the delay may have been small enough where I didn't realize the issue happened. I've definitely noticed it with as few as 50 files. I did some testing with 20 and 40 files this morning but didn't notice any issue. This definitely has not occurred in Ubuntu 14.04 using Nautilus 1:3.10.1-0ubuntu8 and previous versions (all the way back to launch). It definitely never happened with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS or 7.04 LTS and any version of Nautilus included in their stable releases. I'm almost certain it never happened with Linux Mint 17 and Linux Mint 17 MATE, but I can't say that for certain as I abandoned those distros pretty quickly after finding it did not meet my needs. I don't recall which version of Caja originally shipped with Ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS, but I installed MATE 16.04 LTS on launch day and keep my packages updated at least weekly, and this issue has been present in all versions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1133477 Title: cut-n-paste move files got stuck forever To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1133477/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1133477] Re: cut-n-paste move files got stuck forever
Apologies for the double comment - but I realized I missed one of your questions. The size and type of files does not seem to matter. I've had this happen with text, image, video, and "other" files of sizes from a couple kilobytes up to several megabytes. I have not tested with a large number of files of several gigabytes, though I don't imagine it would be as noticeable since one would reasonably expect those to take a bit of time to copy normally. As far as I can tell there are no definite triggers. When I was first doing a prototype build of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and ran into this bug, I did a fresh build, updated all packages, and then was able to easily replicate after a clean boot and nothing running except the file browser.

[Bug 1133477] Re: cut-n-paste move files got stuck forever
I just tested this very easily, but unfortunately nothing was recorded in any of the /var/logs. The steps I used to replicate on a Lenovo P50 running Ubuntu Mate 16.04 LTS (fully updated as of 29 March 2017) 1) Open Caja 1.12.7 (also tested using Nautilus on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS) 2) Navigate to a folder that has 500 text files in it of very small size (5-10kb is sufficient) 3) Press F3 to open a new pane (or optionally open a new window, doesn't matter) and navigate to an empty folder on the same drive (or a different drive, doesn't matter) 4) Highlight most or all of the files in the source directory, and press CTRL-X (or edit > cut, doesn't matter) 5) Go to the destination pane, and press CTRL-V (or edit > paste, doesn't matter) Sometimes, the cut/paste will happen nearly instantly as it should. Sometimes though, it will take a second or two to start, then spend between 1 and 20 minutes sitting there, copying the files one-by-one, very very very very very slowly.

Interesting that the last person mentioned Caja - there is potential progress in narrowing down where the problem lies in their issue tracker (https://github.com/mate-desktop/caja/issues/528). Nautilus, Caja and Nemo all exhibit this same behaviour. In the Caja issue tracker zaps666 suggested that when the problem occurs, dbus (in glib) is waiting for a long time for a notification from somewhere, and that commenting out dbus in the glib move file code fixes the problem, but isn't a solution. If it's a glib issue, then https://bugzilla.gnome.org is the relevant place for bug reporting; it could also be something to do with the way nautilus uses glib, in which case bugzilla.gnome.org is still the best place to report a bug for nautilus. It's worth having a look there in any case to see if there's already something relevant, as this bug has been around for a while. ** Bug watch added: github.com/mate-desktop/caja/issues #528 https://github.com/mate-desktop/caja/issues/528 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1133477 Title: cut-n-paste move files got stuck forever To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1133477/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I have the same problem using a relatively recent install of Ubuntu Gnome 16.04. transferring files from one directory to another on an internal raid 6 setup.

Same issue here. Ubuntu 16.04. Moving 500 images (totalling only 130mb) takes >5 minutes and only shows the "preparing to move" dialogue. Exact same thing in Thunar takes only a few (~3) seconds!

I have encountered this same bug moving around 1,000 image files between local folders with Ubuntu 15.10. Killing the process, disabling preview (as suggested by khadgaray in comment #7) then trying again made the move nearly instantaneous. Re-enabling preview after the move showed the correct file previews in the new folder immediately. Therefore the problem (for me at least) seems to be entirely in the image preview process).
