Bug ID: 6465
Summary: Provide option to not use largefiles usercache
Product: Mercurial
Version: unspecified
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: feature
Priority: wish
Component: largefiles
Assignee: bugzi...@mercurial-scm.org
Reporter: djer...@cfa.harvard.edu
CC: mercurial-devel@mercurial-scm.org, nato...@gmail.com
Python Version: ---
I work on a network where most disks (including /home) are remotely mounted via
NFS (NetApp).
Largefiles will copy files to the usercache if it cannot link them, which
causes significant network i/o if the usercache is on an NFS mount.
I have repositories on multiple remote disks, so to efficiently use Largefiles
I'd have to specify a different, disk-specific largefiles.usercache value for
each repo.
This is, as you can imagine, painful, and leads to some frustration.
It would be very useful if I could simply turn the usercache functionality off.
If I find a need to use it for a particular repository, I can simply turn it
on there.
Thanks!
