Everything crashes the network

Post by Zim_256 »

I'm running Everything on a Windows XP pro machine used as a headless server thrown in a closet somewhere so all interactions with that box is made via the network.
Everything has it's HTTP server running with username and password on certain port of that machine which is not 80
Sometimes when searching using wildcards or by file extension, using the web page, the result list shows 3 results (of thousands) and the server stops responding.
There is no way to regain any sort of connection on the server without physically unplugging it from the mains and restarting it, it won't shut down, it won't suspend, it won't respond to ping nor it will connect with Remote Desktop.

With a screen and keyboard attached, the server keeps running, after the crash, the "Everything" main screen won't respond for a few minutes. The computer will receive packets but won't send any.

There is no useful info AFAIK on the log files and seems like XP doesn't have the Dump file option.

HTTP log:

Code: Select all

I wonder if this is a disk i/o problem.

I probably won't be much help, sorry..

Everything retrieves the file information (size and date) before sending the file over http.
Is it possible to try and catch the file Everything is hanging on?
You say the web browser displays the first 3 or so results before Everything hangs, is it possible to do a local search with the same search and check what the next file is?
