Hi,
Just had yet another power surge yesterday (sad face) and i booted up with the drive going into recovery mode, which after some time turned out fine.
However i now see CloudDrive doing constant reads of a chunk and afterwards uploading that chunk. It can often do the same chunk several times untill the chunk id eventually goes up 1 id and all continues again.
This might go on for hours and then it suddently starts uploading properly.
It's worth noticing that while this goes on, nothing is being uploaded to the drive.
After stuff uploaded, i started copying new stuff to the drive and now it's started the read/write stuff yet again and i most likely will have to wait for hours again.
While it happens i always see a little bit cached (atm. 205 MB) although i set the cache drive to None while uploading (moving to a different drive after upload is done)
Is this intentional behaviour ?
The other day i even had "download quota of that file exceeded" which i posted logs to you guys about

The provider also only shows if you have "experimental providers" on.
They are working with Amazon currently to get it working, it just takes time as they have to wait weeks for a response from amazon each time. But it seems they are getting closer!
If you really need unlimited space atm. you should try to see if you could get a google drive for work through your employer
It's only 8 euros a month and i'm getting maxed out on the speed with upload, with download hopefully being fixed soon!Stablebit works a lot better than NetDrive2, ExpandDrive and the others! WAY better speeds and it's a lot more stable

Weird, using the newest build here with Cloud Drive on Windows 10 with no issues if i only do one drive at a time!
(System goes crazy if i try to mount multiple drives at the same time, so i have to do them one by one to avoid this)
Enable drive tracing under "Troubleshooting" and try again. After that send in the logs to the cloud drive team so they can have a look:

I can just rename the drives myself, however just seemed weird, as a name change makes no difference then
-
Try going under Disk Management and initialise it yourself, then it should work with no issues
Might even require you to format the drive
-
Not possible to have a public post just saying the issue ? :-) "issue with the requested mime type change is forbidden" for example. Of course if it's a big hazzle you can leave it be

of course in the stablebit UI on .444 at a windows machine. label in explorer shows the old name while stablebit says the name i desired. seems as some info didnt get saved - minor thing but labels are great with several drives
google drive provider
1. create drive with google drive, keep original name
2. detach the drive
3.reattach the drive and change drive name
4. drive in windows says the old label while stablebit ui says the new
-
btw is it possible to make the description public on issues? i saw there was an issue solved, but had no clue what :-) can see from your list there is a lot of extra stuff too, just so we dont post what is already on the list
-
Great my other drives were made on .444 so ill just make a new one to replace the old
-
on a windows 10 machine.
changed the name while attaching to be different than the one it was made with originally
version 444

Hi,
Today i created a drive and forgot to change the label. So i detached and reattached with a new label - however after the reattach the old name stuck on the drive, but the new one shows in the stablebit ui
Might be a bug or just bad luck :-D

My current settings are as follows:
Download Threads: 30
Upload Threads: 5
Prefetch trigger: 1MB
Prefetch forward: 15MB
Prefetch time window: 20 seconds
Local Cache Size: 80GB (SSD)
Chunk Size: 100MB
When I start media from the cloud drive it takes Stablebit about 6 or 7 seconds before the download speed reaches 1Mb/s (Megabit) and it refuses to use more than 3 or 4 download threads even though I have it set to use 30. After about 7 seconds the speeds jump up to 15 to 20Mb/s while still only using 3 or 4 threads and never going higher. I assume the initial download speed delay is what is causing the media to take so long to start playing. I tested the same thing with Netdrive and the download speeds immediately jump to 15MB/s (Megabyte) and the media plays almost instantly.
EDIT: Upload speeds are great!
just wantrd to mention that this is the same issue with 1-2 mb partial reads that i wrote earlier. the threads finish so fast that the ui only shows maybe 2-4 in the thread count. however in the i/o threads overview you can see them all where most are finishes and therefore doesnt show in the ui. since they instantly finish at high speeds they slow down the download :-) just for his and your info so you dont think there is two issues/feature requests
-
If google wont allow the changes, couldnt a workaround be to delete the chunk and create a new chunk with a new id and never reuse that old chunk id again? plenty of id's to use and i doubt ppl would ever be able to get out of range ;-)
-
Getting this on my encrypted drive now
No solution to this ? Do i really have to create a new drive? -
Will try to get a screenshot of a maxed out upload and download at the same time
-
Just wanted to share how awesome stablebit makes my google drive connection
As soon as i can get the same in download i couldn't ask for more! Really an awesome application! -
I get great speeds, the 2 mb chunks just made it slow down a lot. The speed never builds up before the thread is done and then there is the wait time before the next thread begins!
-
Not the same drive in my case

Ah, okay.
If it does come back, then yes, please do get those logs.
Also, if rebooting fixed the issues, then definitely make sure to get the "store" files when this happens (in the ProgramData\StableBit CloudDrive folder), and see about getting a process memory dump for the "CloudDrive.Service.exe" service (using the task manager)
Yeah, I can definitely see that. The added overhead of the HTTP connection could definitely slow this down. And this is definitely on our "to-do" list, as it would definitely help those with high throughput connections.
Also, having actual competition helps to! I live in the US, and it's an monopoly here. So it's take what you get, or get DSL/satellite. So they have no incentive to lower prices or deliver more bandwidth.
And yeah, we definitely know that the product scales very, very well. In fact, that was part part of the initial problems with Amazon Cloud Drive. It scaled too well for them.
But glad to hear that Google Drive scales very well.
youre right, we have a lot of providers here with more popping up all the time. increases the bandwidth and prices for everyone. i think our government set a goal that everyone in te country must have access to 100 mbit by 2020.
When a future beta includes this change im gonna grab a nice screenshot to promote stablebit a bit, it is really awesome and A LOT more stable than all other options available.
hope it makes it in soon ;-)

Windows 10
.442
Google Drive
You can see a very few upload threads now and then, but it doesn't start up completely.
I'm copying 5000 files at around 1 TB total size, so i imagined that it would start uploading the first file after it completed
The file info only uploads when the copy is complete?
Will try to do as asked

Basically, this may just be an architecture issue and not much can be done about it.
That said, I've talked with Alex directly about this, and we can add an option to disable (or change) the partial chunk size, which should help/work around this issue.
Also, I'm very jealous of your connection.
The change of partial chunk size is all i wanted
This will make it possible to utilize the speeds in download as well! The partial read is just great, but the 2mb chunk size just made it slow down the connection incredibly much!Scandinavia has really good internet, especially as we got fiber connections coming up all over the country (Denmark here). Being a small country has its benefits as its cheaper to get the cables everywhere!
Stablebit truly shows its power here, and it works incredibly well! - as soon as the download can get its speeds up

Hi,
Just another small question.
Why does upload not start while copying?
Currently it only starts when the copy is complete or the disk is full and it has to free space for the rest of the data.
Tried transferring 600 files (1TB) and it would've been great that it was uploading while i was copying the files
-
Could you get the log from the drive, when this is happening, so we can take a look at what is going on specifically?
And we would rather optimize the performance for everyone. Especially as larger chunks will cause more of a wait/load time when accessing non-cached information.
But either way, I've flagged the issue/request for Alex.
https://stablebit.com/Admin/IssueAnalysis/23906
But also, what OS is this, what version of StableBit DrivePool are you using?
And could you post the results of this: http://wiki.covecube.com/StableBit_DrivePool_Q2159701
using .442 on windows 8.1
i understand performance is priority, thata why the read offset should be definable just like the upload chunks :-)
getting 800-900 mbit upload and only 40-50 mbit download is a big difference. all the trouble comes from the fact that it takes 50-100 read threads to get the same chunk as a sibgle upload thread does.
will get logs later today

A chkdsk pass is fine, and actually what we'd recommend. But I'm glad to hear that worked.
As for verifying the drive, well, see above. But if you want to do a full check on it, use StableBit Scanner to run a full surface scan (you need the beta version, and you'd need double click on the drive, and then click the ">" button to start a scan of the disk).
You've maxed out the number of threads already, right?
yep, like mentioned in another thread i found the reason for the lower speed. upload takes full 100 mb chunks while download is small 1-2 mb parts. this completely kills the download speed as i have to download 50-100 parts to get the same 100 mb which i uploaded in a second with the full chunk.
Understanding some things
in General
Posted
Version: .444
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 bit
Provider: Google Drive
Did not start chkdsk myself - does Cloud Drive do this ?
It kept going the entire night untill Google gave the error "The download quota for this file has been exceeded". After that the drive stopped working as it was unable to do what was needed. Since the threads kept trying that error never went away (guess it resets the wait time every time the thread tries to download it again)
But in general, it seemed like it was going through each and every chunk and some got downloaded and uploaded TONS of times.
