Amule hashing files each time it starts
« on: November 03, 2008, 12:16:23 PM »
Hi All,

I found that on my opensuse 11, amule starts to hash each file shared everytime it is started.
Is it a wanted behaviour? How can I disable it (if it is possibile)?

Regards,

That's not wanted behaviour. What version are you using ? Are there any messages hinting to the cause of the problem ?

Hi,

I am using amule version 2.2.2, precompiled for opensuse 11 (x86_64)
(http://packman.links2linux.org/package/amule/69034)

Looking at the amule log, I don't find any useful message, only the hashing messages.

 ???

maybe amule can't write on confing files?
check them.

I don't find any problem in writing in config file, but I will check.

Could my problem be related to a high number of shared files (about 2000)?

Should not be related.

Stop amule. Delete the files known.met and known2_64.met in the .amule dir. Start amule. Wait until it finishes hashing (will take some time with 2000 files...). Stop amule again. Check the size of the two files.

Hi,

I tried to remove both known*.met, but it started just two times without hashing, the third one it hashed all shared files (about 2600)

Then restart it. Does it hash again ?

Yes, it starts hashing other 111 files.
Now I started amuled daemon again for 2 times and it didn't hash anything.

Could it happen after each the system boot?

111 of 2600 is not that much.  :P
Do you have something running that might change names or file dates of your shared files ? Or do you share your temp folder or something ?

After rebooting some times my system amule finally started to rehash all the shared files: looking at the logfile I found this first row
2008-11-05 14:48:00: KnownFileList.cpp(86): WARNING: Knownfile list corrupted, contains invalid header.

Could it be related to the timeout problem?
