"Searching for old file versions"???

[timgsd]

Hi Everyone

I have just done a syncronisation and when it reached 100% in the syncronisation box, the process was not complete because at the top of the box, it said "searching for old file versions" for several minutes. Why was it doing this?

Thank you very much

Kind regards

Tim

I have a similar problem. I am using v11.3 on a Windows Server 2012 R2 drive in 'Update' sync mode. FFS processed 25,429 files (2.53 GB) and has been sitting on Remaining: 0 (0 byes) and 0 seconds for over 8 hours. The 25K files were found after about 2 hours. Source drive has ~40M files and is ~6 TB in size. Target drive is ~3 TB with 0.6 TB free and 100% defragged. The filters for this FFS job limit the max total filesize to 2.5 TB so I will not run out of space. TM shows FFS is using ~56 MB RAM and 0 - 0.2% CPU and is in Folder Comparison phase. A similar job on another machine with about the same # files completes in 2.5 hrs. Any help appreciated.

I should have added that FFS displays "Searching for old file versions:" for the last 10+ hours with no change in progress. Server is not frozen and TM does show some changes in CPU and RAM so it looks like FFS is not frozen.

If it's still running, I can have a look where it hangs: https://freefilesync.org/faq.php#crash
