Digital Parasite Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Using Defraggler 1.10.143 (and with previous version as well) on Windows XP Pro 64bit, with 750GB hard drive with 1 NTFS partition, 4GB RAM, it crashes with an error when there are a large number of files on the file system. If I run: df.exe c: /debug3 I get: ... Building File List (99%) Building File List (100%) Building File List Failed ERROR: bad allocation It used to work fine when there was a relatively small number of files, but now it doesn't seem to be able to handle the amount stored. The drive has 40.8GB of used space, and 657GB of free space on it. But it contains 7096 folders, and 4,038,922 files. My guess is that 32bit signed integers are used somewhere and this blows up over that limit. I have attached the full debug output file. Since hard drives keep getting bigger and bigger, this will likely become a more common problem so would be great if it could be fixed. Thanks, DP. df.exe._1_10_143__2009_05_21_10_33_.zip df.exe._1_10_143__2009_05_21_10_33_.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanoff Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Thank you for the debug log. 4M of files should not be a problem. Can you check if you are not running out of memory? Best regards romanoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Parasite Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 4M of files should not be a problem. Can you check if you are not running out of memory? The system is not running out of memory. It has 4GB total, and when Defraggler gets to 100% for building file list just before the error and crash, there is still about 1.75GB of RAM free. The df.exe process itself is using 1.2GB of RAM at that point so a huge amount. Maybe 32bit processes don't have room to play when they are using that much memory?

Digital Parasite Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 So any more ideas about this bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Parasite Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 4M of files should not be a problem. Can you check if you are not running out of memory? As you asked, I checked and I still have over 1.5GB of memory free. I just tried again with the new 1.11.148 build and it does the same thing, the process uses about 1.6GB of memory during the Building File List phase and I get the following error: Building File List (100%)Building File List FailedERROR: bad allocation So it seems that 4M files is a problem. Any word from the developers about this? Have they been able to replicate the problem? Thanks, DP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DP i dont know if you know this, but you probly do. just reminding you that on a 32 bit operating system it only uses like 3.2 or was it 3.5 GB ram and cant handle the full 4gig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confirmed the bug is still present in the latest 1.12.152 release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
