0 Viktor Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 That’s exactly what I see too with Google drives – frequent “pinning data” phases with extreme CPU loads. Unclear, why pinning needs to be performed at all. Neither directories nor metadata are being changed on any drive. One drive is only downloading (being scanned for Crashplan backup). The pinned data volume suddenly gets reduced by a certain amount (e.g. 200 MB), what then triggers such a pinning phase and lets the entire system freeze almost completely for a couple of minutes – that happens multiple times a day. steffenmand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 steffenmand Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 Yea i can confirm also that it is the pinning that jumps the CPU usage. Don't know if it is because i have 16 different drives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Well, this may make sense. If it's reading the files/folders, ... that's CPU intensive work, so it can cause that to occur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the question is: Why is it’s reducing the amount of pinned data and then running through the pinning process so frequently? It happens only with Google drives and freezes the computer several times a day - very annoying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I can't be sure, at least not without logs from when this is happening. If I had to guess though, the actual data is being changed. Or there is a bug. Also, just a heads up, only NTFS data can be pinned. ReFS isn't supported at this time.

0 Viktor Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 It looks like that the “pinning issue” is caused by the prefetcher. I turned off prefetching on the Google drives and did not see any pinning data process since then. Furthermore, by disabling the prefetching I also got rid of frequent IO errors and timeout warnings (not one red error or yellow warning message for two days now). I’m using version 1.0.3.982 BETA.

0 steffenmand Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 Never had this pinning issue before i updated after the Google API had some changes (which caused reauthorisation all the time). It is related to recent updates! Pinning should ofc. happen, but maybe it should be queued so all drives dont start pinning exactly at the same time ?

0 steffenmand Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 This issue is often causing my drives to unmount due to them not being able to download anything while freezing. It goes completely crazy at 100% CPU when uploading (and it starts pinning when you upload) Computer is unuseable for 1-15 min. depending on the upload size. Something seriously broke in recent updates - should be seen as a critical issue! What can i do to get you to look into fixing this ?

0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Pinning shouldn't happen often. Really, it should only happen shortly after mounting the drive. Or maybe if the file system has drastically changed. I think that you Have posted a ticket about this already. If not, then somebody else did. And I have let Alex know about the issue, too.

0 steffenmand Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Still got the issue... But it is 100% the pinning causing it. If i manually cancel the pinning then it quickly goes down again. My guess is that multiple drives start pinning at the same time and they all will run max amount of threads (ie. 15 on mine = 10 drives pinning with 15 threads each = 150 threads) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 steffenmand Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Awesome! My server is freezing non stop because of this and even caused some BSOD due to the massive stress on hardware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Try this version: http://dl.covecube.com/CloudDriveWindows/beta/download/StableBit.CloudDrive_1.1.0.1023_x64_BETA.exe * [Issue #27816] [D] Do not prefetch data that has already been cached locally.

0 steffenmand Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 Is it possible to get pinning go in a queue ? so that it only does pinning on one server at a time ? Every time this happens i see a lot of servers pinning at the exact same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I'll ask. https://stablebit.com/Admin/IssueAnalysis/27855 But the above fix may help with that, as well. If the data is already cached, then it won't go and grab if from the server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
