Allocation and system freeze

Post by bkmz »

Hi, I'm like qBittorent, but when i starting download big BDrip, more than 10Gb, my coputer really freezing, while qBittorent is filling file with zero's data.
Linux is supporting posix_fallocate method, which create a big files very quickly, of course, if FS support this call.
Please send me a link of a place, where is allocationg file for download, and will try modify it, or (developer) please make this feature, it's really need.

What filesystem are you using?
ext3 would fill the data with zeroes. I just tried 17GB torrent on ext4 and xfs partitions and qbittorrent allocates it in a second. Didn't test ext4 much since I'm using only XFS for my torrents and video recordings and it was always working fine.

I think it would refer back to libtorrent anyway... so maybe better luck there?
