I need some advice from more experienced users.
I've created four repositories on my macbook and paired them with repos on my ubuntu desktop. They are all created with the webapp so they might have some configurations that are not optimal for me.
In fact, when I start my macbook it is unusual for more than an hour because git-annex is reading and writing to and from the disk in the background.
I don't change much in three of the four repos, only one repo contains my daily work.
What configuration would enhance my situation?
The four repos are called:
- movies
- pictures
- music
- documents (many changes each day)
I have also problems to switch to the documents repo in the webapp.
TIA juh
First - Where are the repos actually located ~/Desktop or ~/annex/? Other?
I can confirm, that like two weeks back I have had similar issue using git-annex-assistant with other synced repos on local LAN and at Box.com. The git-annex processes actually overloaded the CPU and I was forced to kill annex processes to get over.
I also found myself that NFS mounted shares, linked by symlink to home directory, can slowdown mac finder app as well if NFS has slight delays in response.
All repositories are located in my home folders: ~/Pictures ~/Movies ~/Music ~/Documents
On my Ubuntu desktop machine and my macbook. They are connected in my local network via WLAN.
I use different git annex versions on these two machines. Maybe this causes problems.
On Ubuntu I have Version: 4.20130815 Build flags: Assistant Webapp Pairing Testsuite S3 WebDAV Inotify DBus XMPP
On my macbook: Version: 5-20140106-gcb3351b
