How I long...Yearn for Alfresco to be successful...BUT!!!

I so wish I could get alfresco to be reliable.Installed Alfresco, MySQL, Java JDK on Windows XP. Moved a fairly large folder from drive to drive (outside alfresco) in 1.5 minutes.Tried in Alfresco using CIFS and took a very very long time…like over an hour or something, don't remember exactly.That

Ok….getting lots of orphaned objects on deletes. Alfresco takes many hours to delete files that I I can copy on the hard drive in a few minutes. CIFS/webdav seems unstable when deleting a whole lot of files in bulk.

Hi

You don't mention which release. Are you sure the MySQL tables are InnoDB? Also, it is worth getting one of the nightly builds of Alfresco, since there have been a few improvements since the last Community release (2.1).

We do have big customers using Alfresco and CIFS in a big way, so I'm sure it's possible to get past the issues you're having.

Tell us a bit more about the size and nature of the directory you're dragging in (depth, no. of files/folders, type/size of documents).

Cheers
Paul.

I posted a JIRA on the issue and it is as follows:

Thanks, I'll follow up on this. I think there are some changes coming that will improve delete performance, but 5000 files shouldn't be a problem.

Cheers
Paul.

One thing to be aware of is the behaviour of the Breadcrumb - it does not show the path of the current space/object, but a breadcrumb of where's been visited. Sometimes it can look like an object is inside a space, when infact it isn't, e.g. search -> document/space details.

Cheers
Paul.

yes,

some of my testing results as far as knowing which interfaces and versions encounter the problem may be inaccurate because I was confused by the breadcrumb.

Some of the versions/interfaces may have correctly done the delete and I was confused by the breadcrumb.

But there are at least some of the interfaces and versions where the actual error was encountered and I received the error message noted in the JIRA when accessing the spaces. That could not have been caused by the breadcrumb confusion.
