I've run into a situation where the local cache drive is getting filled up despite having a fixed local cache. Configuration is:
StableBit CloudDrive v 1.0.0.634 BETA
4 TB drive created on Amazon Cloud Drive with 30 MB chunk size, custom security profile
Local cache set to 6 GB FIXED on a 120 GB SSD (the SSD is exclusive to CloudDrive - there's absolutely nothing else on this drive)
Lots of data to upload
When the local cache is filled up (6 GB) CD starts throttling write requests, as it should be doing (hooray for this feature, by the way). However, when the total amount of data uploaded is nearing the size of the cache drive, CloudDrive starts slowing down until it completely stops accepting writes and throws a red warning message saying that the local cache drive is full.
This is the CloudPart-folder after a session of having uploaded approx 30 GB of data.
This is the local cache disk at the same time as the screenshot above. Remember, there is absolutely nothing on this drive other than the CloudPart-folder.
Selecting "Performance --> Clear local cache" does nothing. Detaching and re-attaching the drive clears and empties the local drive, reducing the "Used space" to almost nothing, and I can again start filling the cloud drive with data until the cache drive runs full again.
As is obvious, a discrepancy exists between the amount of data reported as "Used space" on the SSD and the "Size on disk" of the CloudPart folder. My guess is that this is some sort of bug related to the handling of NTFS sparse files. Any ideas?
