Re: [Duplicity-talk] High memory usage with large number of files

[Chris Adamson]

Oh sorry. The issue was to do with an NFS + ext4 interaction where ext4 
was producing duplicated file names for directories with large numbers 
of files. I could reproduce the issue with ls. Although I have not tried
 the same directory over NFS with XFS (which didnt have the problem with
 ls) I will try that and report back if there is still a memory issue.

I had a look at those bugs. But I wasnt getting cannot allocate 
memory errors, the program was just hanging. Which was what ls was 
doing. So I don't think I had that bug.

Thanks for the reply Olivier and sorry again for initially not giving any detail.

Uh, not very much detailed post :-/...

Still there's currently a memory issue anyway (see current
discussions) and https://bugs.launchpad.net/duplicity/+bug/908228 and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/duplicity/+bug/896728 (that look the same
IMHO).
