I'm not sure why your logs say it only take 45 minutes. the hard drive thrashes for a further 7 hours and the only process using it is the sync daemon. I suspect it's due to the fact that the process never gets a chance to complete as I have to shut down my pc to go home. I have attached now the log from last night. Seemed like the reading process has come down a lot (maybe 2-3 hours I am not sure how to read the logs, see attached) but still anything more than an 2-10 minutes to just start up the app is too much.
Where do you see in the logs that the read process has been completed? What do you look for? Going to start up the client now and let it run. But see the results below. Does not look like the daemon purges old metadata at all? find ~/.local/share/ubuntuone/syncdaemon -type f | wc -l 384187 find ~/Ubuntu\ One/ -type f | wc -l 15661 Also just ran the purge dry run again before starting the client: metadata without matching file on disk: 7429 So it's all still reporting the same amount of files. Why are all the values so far out? ** Attachment added: "syncdaemon.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/41275707/syncdaemon.log -- ubuntuone takes more than a day, if at all, to read the metadata and start uploading files to web https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539573 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
