Hi,
|
|
|
|
First of all thank you for your time looking into my bug. I try to research more from my side.
|
|
|
|
The 'Resource exhausted' bugreport
|
|
(which lost its title, and could not click on it to add this testcase as a comment)
|
|
was tested on real data, my own working directory (a copy of it).
|
|
This bugreport is tested on the output of this small shell script.
|
|
|
|
None of them succeeded to import, and I quickly assumed it is the exact same.
|
|
|
|
So I will test again, raising the ulimit to 81920, and report.
|
|
|
|
The main problem with this directory tree is that it has more directories than inotify can watch, in the default configuration
|
|
|
|
I would be perfectly fine if I could configure git-annex to sync those directory only once a month or once a week
|
|
(ie. check for update once a week). So no need to watch it real time, those are my archived work files.
|
|
|
|
I don't think that 51 thousand directories is a particularly realistic amount for any real-world usage of git-annex.
|
|
|
|
Well, it is not 25000 dir in a single a folder, but rather something like this:
|
|
|
|
work_done/2009/workname/back9/back8/back7/back6/back5
|
|
|
|
Where each 'backX' contains a whole backup the work until it.
|
|
So the directory structure is a bit more deep, and no 25000 subdirectory in a single dir.
|
|
But the overall numbers are right.
|
|
|
|
If I could somehow mark this **work_done** dir to not sync real time (or work_done/2008,work_done/2009,work_done/2010,work_done/2011,work_done/2012 subdir in them),
|
|
then my whole issue would vanish.
|
|
|
|
I only want to use git-annex to have a backup of this directory.
|
|
In case of laptop theft, or misfunction I could have a backup.
|
|
I dont need live sync anywhere, I have directories which I know I will not touch for months.
|
|
|
|
Best,
|
|
Laszlo
