benguild Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Unlike Dropbox where everyone just kind of dumps stuff in a folder (although I guess you can do that) ... how much are you guys really pushing back and forth? Anyone doing more than 100GB? I definitely like that you aren't confined to a specific folder, but it's also more intensive to manage different folders' configurations....

vlmath Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 ~ 400 Go now, planning much more work like a charm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piotrnik Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 About 5TB, across about 10 computers on different networks and via multiple folder shares. On the main machine, it takes about 250mb of ram, but it's working quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KindOne Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 ~100GB - Steam - LAN~15GB - VPS~200MB - IRC related stuff I've set "folder_rescan_interval" to "7200" (two hours in seconds) since nothing really changes and I don't need to rescanning stuff soo often.

noiime Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 This is what one of my R/W share look's like! There's over 100 peers connected and it is working relatively well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forest Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 It's an interesting question since I hae seen CPU usage increase linearly with size of the folder, so that my computers (both mac and windows) can't really do over ~500 GB without effecting everyday usage (even with folder_rescan_interval turned to infinity). Anyone else notice this? It's the reason I turned to AeroFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noiime Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Forest, I dont know if it can help but, here's a description of the R/W server that I refered in my last post: - CPU Intel E5700- 4 GB of RAM- 1 x 250 GB HDD for OS- 1 x 2 TB for BTS- Windows 2008 R2 64Bit That's what it look's like: * I don't know if your BTS is syncyng on the same hard drive that the OS reside but, it greatly help's when the syncs folders aren't on the primary hard drive.** Especially if they are voluminous folders!!*** That may be the cause of your issue!? Hope it help's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forest Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Thanks so much for the screen shots! Very helpful. I indeed think it is number of files, you have about 2k and I have about 100k (home folder) and a crapier computer. I guess my wish was that I would just have a mirror of my computer on my sever update automaticaly, but it dosen't seem possible. My question is... why dosen't AeroFS have this problem (linear lag proportional to # of files). Feels like BTSync scans all folders regularly while AeroFS just looks for changes in files.

RomanZ Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 @forest BTSync does not scans files all the time. It subscribes OS notifications for file changes and rescans folder every folder_rescan_interval. The rest of the time it just exchanges messages with other peers available to see if any changes are happening on other peers. Do I understand correctly, that BTSync consumes some CPU usage even when nothing is actually happening (no sync ongoing, no changes are done on sync folders)?
