#7202 closed bug (invalid)

Emptying trash took 27 minutes

Description

I consider this bug though emptying trash succeeded. But it took very long time to process all files.

(History:) I tried to checkout webpositive webkit from the svn trunk to my SenryuPE disk. But there wasn't enough room for it. So I decided to delete those files. From SenryuPE to Trash it took only 2 seconds or less. But when I tried to empty trash, it took about 27 minutes.

As you can see in Terminal window printouts, Tracker mode window has a Finnish title "Seuraajatila". And "Desktop" is "Työpöytä" in Finnish. BTW, there is obviously also an aligment bug with Id columns. I'm running Haiku hrev40352.

Probably related: I also noticed that copying/unzipping something (probably preferably lots of small files) on an almost full volume (like a default-sized alpha image) is very disk intensive. Experienced in qemu with 512 MB RAM, without swap file. Smells block cache or BFS related.

It is possible that this SenryuPE disk is heavily fragmented. But 27 minutes is still too much, I think.

Replying to Karvjorm:

It is possible that this SenryuPE disk is heavily fragmented. But 27 minutes is still too much, I think.

To some extent, deleting files on BFS will always be slower than on most other filesystems since deleting a file also entails removing all its attributes (which owing to the way BFS is structured is more or less equivalent to traversing an additional directory for every file that has attrs) and removing it from any indices that it's referenced in, but it shouldn't quite be *this* bad.

just tried to empty my trash here, (more than 23000 files), it took just a few seconds, I think this issue can be closed now

I'm using alpha 4

Closing for now as invalid. I've never heard of this problem before so I'm assuming it was a one-off issue. (maybe related to SenryuPE)

Feel free to request to be re-opened if it can be reproduced on H1A4 or later.
