Description Joerg Schwieder 2010-05-15 17:10:05 UTC

This may actually two bugs.

#1 automatic rescanning through inotify doesn't seem to work correctly on my ubuntu server 8.04LTS setup.
It rescans the library every 2 minutes. It does NOT find anything new, just tries the file detection every two minutes.

#2 and this is the biggie: I tried to turn automatic scanning off using "Settings->Advanced->Performance->Automatic Rescan" and that's being ignored, I still have a rescan every two minutes.

This is a killer, my server just keeps scanning for weeks now.

I can confirm item#2 on windows xp 7.6 r31167.  I had to stop and restart SBS before the auto scanner stopped scanning.

Comment 2 Andy Grundman 2011-01-12 12:16:25 UTC

Still a problem?

Comment 3 Joerg Schwieder 2011-01-12 17:36:09 UTC

Not right now but I turned off automatic rescans.
Will install a recent update Friday and try again.

Comment 4 Joerg Schwieder 2011-02-06 14:48:44 UTC

Looks OK now.

Which?  Is the inotify based rescanning now working for you?  Or do you mean that disabling auto-rescan now works?

Comment 6 Joerg Schwieder 2011-02-07 15:30:10 UTC

I'll check again but I believe it was both.
Disabling auto-rescan has worked for a while now, the recent issues were that if I did _not_ disable it, a rescan occurred every two minutes which is no longer the case.

I believe auto-update through inotify worked, too, when I last treid it last week.

Comment 7 Andy Grundman 2011-04-07 10:41:39 UTC

Auto-rescan is now disabled by default.

Comment 8 Bradley D. Wall 2011-04-21 15:57:12 UTC

This seems to be fixed, will review with team and close.
