Digikam is really slow when used with NFS and wireless
 
|
Hi,
I did a search and couldn't find any solutions to this. I have digikam setup to use an NFS folder as it's library. It works great when I am connected via a cat 5 cable, however whenever I switch to wireless on my laptop digikam's gets really really slow. Everything from startup to photo access. Is this simply a case of me having a slow wireless connection, or is there another issue when dealing with Digikam, nfs, and wireless all together? My transfer rates between my local network appear really fast when on wireless which makes me think that isn't the problem. Any help would be appreciated!

Could this be related to the locking of the SQLite DB which (as has been documented many, many times) is generally a bad thing. The same problems will be apparent not that FF3 uses SQLite. I'm not sure where it's at at the moment, but SQLite over NFS really needs to get a whole lot better (assuming this hasn't already happened and I missed it ;)) Col _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

That's nice to know :) Where does it store it? Does it ask the user for a location? I know on some machines I admin there is no writeable space for the user on the local machine. Well except from /tmp but it gets wiped on every boot.... Obviously the best solution all round is if sqlite worked over NFS. With FF3 using it for some stuff it's another nail in the "Using NFS" coffin :( Col _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Locking shoudn't be a problem if the nolock mount option is set. He said it works fine over cat 5 so I think that the problem is a slow wireless connection. Setting nolock and noac should reduce the traffic a bit. IMHO the consumed bandwidth should be compared first with iptraf or a similar tool.

I need to debug why it didn't import my digikam3.db tho'.... seems some SQL failed... will need to look into that.
