| Guest | Excessive I/O consumption when idle I use Foldershare only lightly, to share photos with family, etc. Most of the time it's doing nothing but idling in the background. I looked at Windows Task Manager this morning and noticed these statistics for foldershare.exe: I/O Reads: 304 and steady I/O Read Bytes: 882,669 and steady I/O Writes: 20 and steady I/O Write Bytes: 6,980 and steady I/O Other: 39,622 and climbing I/O Other Bytes: 1,004,589 and climbing This was after 10 minutes of Windows uptime. No files were being shared at the time. Does anybody else see this continuous growth in 'I/O Other' or know what might be going on? Seems excessive and perhaps a waste of resources. |

| Guest | Re: Excessive I/O consumption when idle These IO reads are caused by FolderShare rescanning your directories for changes that were made while FolderShare was offline. Hope this helps, Anton "JonInIndy" <JonInIndy@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:C539B9CE-6639-4EA6-B704-D57852A78A77@xxxxxx

| Guest | Re: Excessive I/O consumption when idle I'm not sure I'm believing your answer. This morning my PC has been on for 2 1/2 hours. I looked at Task Manager and it shows FOLDERSHARE.EXE has performed over 465,000 "other I/Os" (and steadily climbing) totalling over 11,000,000 bytes (and climbing). I haven't made any changes to my shared files in 2 days and Foldershare shows no current activity going on. Foldershare is a great product, but can you please investigate this seemingly unwarranted resource consumption? Thank you. Jon "Anton Katz [MSFT]" wrote:

| Guest | Re: Excessive I/O consumption when idle Maybe the Vista Task Manager should stop reporting I/O activity if that information is alarming people. The XP Task Manager does not worry me about such irrelevant happenings going on under the hood. Tony On Tue, 18 Dec 2007 07:46:01 -0800, JonInIndy <JonInIndy@xxxxxx> wrote:

| Guest | Re: Excessive I/O consumption when idle More than willing to investigate. Could you please email me at katz.anton@xxxxxx the number of shared libraries you have?
