Wrong Foldersize

[RandolfCarter]

As reported in the forum ( http://forum.owncloud.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5053 ):

I have copied a folder on the server in the data directory. This folder has ~17GB and only this one file with more than 2GB (negative size) and no other file has negative size in the mysql. But owncloud show me that this folder has ~12GB.

See also this other issue about negative file sizes: #388

If possible, questions should be asked in the forum.

There are some issues regarding files/folder size due to the current file cache implementation.
This is expected to be changed for OC5.

I'm also experiencing problems with erroneous folder sizes:

This seems to be a critical bug. @icewind1991 Can you have a look?

[DeepDiver1975]

maybe related to #388

[andredasilvapinto]

In my case, it doesn't seem related with > 2 GB files limitation. The largest file size within my folder is just 4.4M

sudo du -a /home/dataserver/data/user | sort -n -r | head -n 50

My problem seems fixed with the latest update (4.5.3).

[karlitschek]

Great. Thanks a lot.

[DeepDiver1975]

Any idea what fixed this issue?

[andredasilvapinto]

I'm not sure if the >2GB problem was already fixed or not, as my problem was happening even with small files, but it's in the changelog:

"- Fix wrong folder size calculation"

http://owncloud.org/releases/Changelog

so something must have been done in order to fix this :)

Thanks!

I'm also not sure if this is fixed once and for all:
First, there is still the possibility for negative file sizes (#388).
Second, the notice described in #726 is happening inside the "increaseSize" function which is doing the update to the folder sizes, which I think indicates that some folder sizes aren't properly updated (no idea yet as to why).
