Tuning the filewalker

[Pac]

By the way, when disabling filewalker at startup, does it still run time to time on its own when “needed”? Or is it fully disabled meaning that occupied space might be a bit more wrong on the dashboard after each node restart over time?

EDIT:
According to the following post, satellites kind of ask nodes to run the filewalker for their files only, time to time:

Storage2.piece-scan-on-startup: Not applying

The initial piece scan is the biggest process that goes over all pieces. There are still 2 other processes that will do something similar. On startup and every 24 hours a cleanup job will run over all pieces in the trash folder and delete pieces that are older than 7 days. Executing garbage collection (triggered by a message from the satellite) will run the filewalker over all pieces for one satellite. If you want to get some more details about runtime and stuff you can check the debug endpoi…

Does this mean that it will also make sure that the reported occupied space by the node gets regularly corrected thanks to that process? Because if that’s the case, I don’t really see why one would want to keep the startup filewalker enabled?
