Anyone else got a collection on Linux mounted over Samba?

I think that is the cause of the problem I was having yesterday

do oyu have it with many files?
2009-02-27 05809, 2009

About 100,000

OIC, about 5%

i have no idea. and you have those access problems with no other application?

I have checked about 20 files that picard won't accept and other apps have no problem. Gigabit ethernet and 1 terabyte sata drive on fast server
2009-02-27 05851, 2009
Munger
Don't think it's a timeout issue
2009-02-27 05802, 2009
Munger
Always the same files
2009-02-27 05807, 2009
Munger
They all work if I copy them locally, but that is not an option
2009-02-27 05840, 2009
outsidecontext
understandable. you use smbmount to mout the share as a drive, right?
2009-02-27 05833, 2009
Munger
Picard seems happy with them during the drag operation, as it switches the cursor to a +, and it displays them in the left-hand panel. It just seems that it is doing some quick analysis when they are dropped and won't accept them. It can't be the file header itself, as that does not change when I copy the file local. How is it scanning the file when it is dropped?
2009-02-27 05813, 2009

Windows is mounting the drive an mapping it. I dunno how it does that
2009-02-27 05838, 2009
outsidecontext
Munger: ah, that way .) i thought you were on linux accessing the share
2009-02-27 05855, 2009
luks
it is only checking the extension
2009-02-27 05800, 2009
outsidecontext
yes, if picard would accept the file but could not read it it would show the file together with an error icon
2009-02-27 05801, 2009
Munger
The drive is in the linux box. MacOS can mount it fine and iTunes accepts everything
2009-02-27 05817, 2009
outsidecontext
Munger: but the files are named like the file you send me?
2009-02-27 05848, 2009
Munger
luks, It obviously checks the extension before it displays it in the files panel. It sees nothing wrong at that point
2009-02-27 05818, 2009
outsidecontext
Munger: i don't think it does that, it checks when you drop
2009-02-27 05848, 2009
outsidecontext
can you start picard with the "--dbug" parameter, then drop that file and paste the output from the debug log somewhere?
2009-02-27 05848, 2009
Munger
Yes. File naming is 100% consistent
2009-02-27 05857, 2009
outsidecontext
that should be "--debug"
2009-02-27 05807, 2009
Munger
Sure. Gimme a few mins
2009-02-27 05834, 2009
outsidecontext
luks: do you have any clue? that does not make much sense
2009-02-27 05823, 2009
luks
I think it's like "file.mp3 " or "file. mp3" or something like that
2009-02-27 05841, 2009

munger said he checked that

I do not believe users when debugging a problem (no offence Munger) :)

I understand. If it helps, I was a Mac programmer for over 20 years ;-)

ok, now I believe you a little more :)

WTF!!!! If I run with --debug it accepts them. If I drop that switch and try again it does not. Is somebody having a laugh?

2009-02-27 05800, 2009
Munger
Hmm. I'm going to keep running it with --debug and see if it starts to fail later. This could be some memory leak that gets progressively worse with use

Munger: but without --debug you can reproduce that right away after starting picard?
2009-02-27 05800, 2009
Munger
In this case, the file view panel in the left of the picard window. It was also failing when I dragged them from windows explorer if the files were on the samba mount,

munger: stupid idea: copy a file that does not work locally and then back to the share and see what happens
2009-02-27 05848, 2009
Munger
Good idea
2009-02-27 05837, 2009

That might iron out any glitches with character sets

exactly, that was my idea
2009-02-27 05817, 2009

Hmmm. All working again now. I'm going to throw a few hundred files at it with --debug and watch the logs

Munger: i just tested the file you send me on windows, served from a mounted samba share without --debug. works as expected
2009-02-27 05807, 2009

if the file is named ". mp3" or ".mp3 " it does not even show up in the file browser on the left as expected
2009-02-27 05829, 2009

i suggest you use the --debug workaround
2009-02-27 05845, 2009
Munger
It's working for me now - with or without --debug. I started noticing the problem yesterday after about 5 hours of use. I am going to watch and see if it starts happening again
2009-02-27 05821, 2009

I'll keep the debug switch and hopefully it will catch comething if it happens
