I have gone through a convoluted Lion upgrade because there were all sorts of errors on the drive that showed up on Disk Utility which were then fixed by Drive Warrior. It is 640Gb drove on an iMac and these runs were taking about 24hrs. Only using 220Gb of space on the drive but had 5 million files.
I tried to run Carbon Copy to another backup disk but this would have taken about a week. So I killed it. It was running through loads of files in Application support .data files it looked like. Once Lion was up and running, Spotlight was reindexing and it told me that this was going to take 6 weeks! Just installed Disk Daisy (took about 12 hrs to analyse disk) and sure enough there is about 8Gb of Sync related files. I have had SpanningSync running almost constantly for about three years? Is there some sort of housekeeping. I suspect that there are millions of small files. Am I thinking along the right lines?
