I'm running 1.44 on a 10TB volume (Raid5), 32GB of memory. Phase 1 completed after about 24 hours of scanning (it's an ISCSI target, not the fastest). 38 million files were found. I'm trying to recover about 16 files, each about 32KB a piece.
So far I've been staring at 100% completion bar (for Stage 1) for the past 4 hours. I'm seeing minimal disk and CPU activity, but all 32GB of memory is still in use by recuva64.exe, and it's also taxing my pagefile a bit (clearly it's using beyond the 32GB on the system).
My question is, should I give it more time or is it hung up? Has anyone else seen it sit this long at the end of Stage 1 for a volume this big and slow?
Ok, to update, about 7 hours after Phase 1 hit 100%, Phase 2 started. I just cancelled it (reading in the forums it looks like this is ok), so everything is operating as expected. I suppose the takeaway here is that phase 1 can take a long time to finish post-completion if you're talking about a very large amount of files.
I can't add much, your setup is way, way out of my experience. For me, V1.44 hangs a little in Stage 2, but I only have about one thousandth of your data. I presume you were running a deep scan?
You have a large piece of kit for a home user. Good luck in sifting through 38m files.
Well if it's of any interest, cancelling stage 2 hasn't gone so well. Even though it was at 1% when I hit the cancel button, the process went on for a few hours and reached 50% completion. After going to bed and waking up this morning (another 8'ish hours passed), it's now lingering at 61%. Honestly I think the scope of what I'm trying to do here is beyond the program's capabilities.
So I was given 1.43 by support. It did the trick!! For 38 million files, my instance used up 64GB of memory. Best product I've purchased in a long time!
