File IO
-
Hi all, I have an obscure problem happening in my main data store folder. The folder contains 1136 subdirectories with a total of 2,397,000 or so files spread out over 121GB on a 1TB Raid 5 array. What’s happening appears to be a cache problem. The symptoms are as follows: A file (lets say ..Folder1\Inv1.tif , 65KB) is loaded then closed. The Directory containing the file then has its name changed, ..Folder2\Inv1.tif I can still access ..Folder1\Inv1.tif from any computer that has opened it from that path; however any new computer trying to open that path fails. The full path is a network share. The location of the accessing computer doesn’t seem to make a difference, Localhost, lan computer or workgroup computer all have the same behavior. I not sure if it is true for Mapped drives and local drives. My hunch is that the algorithm for sensing cache invalidations is having troubles iterating through such a large folder. I need some ideas on what the problem might be and a way to test it.
