IPED FROZEN

[paulobreim]

I restarted the iPED because I thought it was frozen after hours of processing, including a --continue.

From the screenshot below, it can be seen that it ignored 1,598,944, which were probably already processed previously, and that it discovered 1,614,693, but this process has been running for 2:30 and doesn't change.
On the right side we can only see 3 tasks being executed.
Any suggestions to get this going?
If restarting with version 4.2.2 is correct

I guess it was not frozen. You just need to wait. Those are huge OST files, that are handled by an external process (pffexport).
In the Windows Task Manager, add bytes read and write columns, and you will be able to confirm the external process are active (and get a rough idea how much is already processed).

tks @wladimirleite ,
Really bytes information in read and write columns are changing.
This process is really slow, taking up to 24 hours to process.
I found it strange because the number of discovered items is greater than the number of processed items, so I thought all the tasks should be processing something.

Yes, it is slow...
About the number of discovered/processed items, I guess there are discovery items of certain types that are processed in a later stage (e.g. items that are linked to other items).

It hasn't finished yet because the power went out and I had to restart with --continue.
But I think there must be something strange because it's going slowly.

There's definitely something abnormal happening with this indexing. Between stops and restarts, it's been running for over 30 hours and it's still running. I timed the number of files processed per minute and got 135, while the number of files discovered is at 140 per minute.
It may be that I did something very wrong in the configuration, but it's strange that it's like this with .ost files. Let's wait and see...
