funny, and i checked and all my storj drives has 8dot3 name creation enabled,
now 14TB and 60milion small files later, to undo that with
fsutil 8dot3name strip /f /s D:
looks like will take 2x infinity, judging by the speed on my 4TB right now,
(read speed on d: after above command is going like 60KB/s write speed 240KB/s)
@AtomicInternet how long does it took You please?
EDIT:
okay that speed isn’t translate to real speed on disk.
its just speed on index or something.
In fact it did striped me a 150GB storj’s blob folder in 2,5h
Also this topic might be the solution for SLOW FILEWALKING, at least on Windows nodes,
first You check if Your disk has 8dot3name enabled:
In CMD under Admin rights type:
fsutil 8dot3name query d:
d: is a drive letter here, change for Yours specific.
it will show You if its enabled or disabled
If enabled, dissable it with:
fsutil 8dot3name set d: 1
or for storj folder only:
fsutil 8dot3name set d:\storj 1
This will prevent new files being slow down.
Now You need to stripe all existing files, to speed up the read
fsutil 8dot3name strip /s /v d:\storj
/s -parameter is for all the subdirectories
/v - is for cmd screen to show You the progress work flow
the speed is around 38MB/s on my baremetal 16TB SATA disk
So If You have 14TB of files it might take 250h but looks like it’s a must IF You had that enabled all the time.
Thank You @AtomicInternet and @pangolin
This topic should be pined for every Windows SNO for a revision.
here’s just some journal of my test with it and “how it changed my life” lol
