In my company, I am currently switching the server where cruisecontrol.net
is running on. While copying the project data (including the build
artifacts), I noticed that in the Artifacts\buildlogs directory there are a
huge number of tiny (couple of KB) .summary files. Huge as in 130000 to
190000 or more (in each directory!). That neatly explains why it often took
minutes when viewing any project's page on the web dashboard.
Anyway, it seems that those are temporary files which are not being
deleted. I haven't found any issue for that so far, and I have no idea if
those files are created by cruisecontrol.net or a plugin (although I assume
the former).
I have been continuously upgrading the installation of ccnet; currently I
have 1.7.706 installed. As far as I can tell, this issue is there since a
very long time (opening an Explorer window to such a directory tends to
freeze everything for 10 minutes or more, since Explorer isn't capable of
handling directories with hundreds of thousands of files). I tried it once,
and it seems these files are created every minute or so when ccnet is
running.
