Volume C stopped being indexed
Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
Thank you for the service logs.
I am looking into the issue.
To rebuild just one drive:
In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
/reindex c:
where c: is the drive to reindex.

Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
An option to rebuild just one volume should be available after choosing lets say
Tools > Options... > Indexes > NTFS > Local NTFS volumes > CONTEXT MENU OF A DRIVE > Advanced > Force Rebuild This Volume
Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
Everything 1.5.0.1361a adds an option to rebuild a specific volume from Tools -> Options -> NTFS.
For example, to reindex your C: drive:
For example, to reindex your C: drive:
- In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the NTFS tab on the left.
- Select C:.
- Right click C: and click Reindex.
- Click OK.

Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
Do you want me to rebuild my volume C and thus wait for the next occurrence of it not being indexed anymore once more - or should I wait out just a little longer before rebuilding it, as any time now you will update Everything with some new debugging additions?
Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
I have on my TODO list to dump the Everything Service Monitoring state when starting debug logging.
Once this is done I'll send you an email in hopes we can catch the issue.

Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
Everything 1.5.0.1362a will now log the Everything service state when starting service debug logging.
The next time you notice Everything has stopped monitoring your C: drive, could you please:

Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
I downloaded version 1.5.0.1363a (x64) Portable, replaced my old 1359a with it and was about to start debugging my still not re-indexed manually C drive with it - but I noticed that the issue is one again gone: i.e. my system drive is being updated immediately and thus (I suppose) it is up to date now
But if this problem comes back I will once again write down debugging logs an send them to you

Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
In the meantime: as pointed out by me at the end of this discussion viewtopic.php?p=61944#p61944, maybe what is triggering such stopping of indexing is me using this BAT script
?
I can go days without a need for running it even once it - but there are also hours when I [like when mingling with Options] use it multiple times - and so maybe too many too often make it probable or something in my INI files to become broken?
Code: Select all
@echo off
taskkill /im Everything.exe
timeout /t 1 >nul
taskkill /im Everything.exe /t /f
net stop "Everything (1.5a)"

Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
Please avoid terminating Everything and the Everything Service.
You'll lose all changes to your settings and database.
If you must terminate Everything, please try removing the line.
It can take several minutes to save your database to disk.
Please create a mini crash dump if you find Everything is not responding on shutdown.

Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
And once again my volume C has stopped being indexed; a few weeks ago. Then, a couple of days ago, I have upgraded Everything to version 1.5.0.1371a x64 Portable- but it did not fix itself
And so: are you ready for a new set of logs from me?

Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
I have just sent you yet another instance of
C:\Windows\Temp\Everything Service Debug Log-1.5a.txt
C:\Windows\Temp\Everything Service Debug Log-1.5a.txt
Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
Thank you for the debug logs.
Everything is not handling incomplete IO errors correctly and is not handling stale USN Journals correctly.
Could you please see if the issue persists with Everything 1.5.0.1372a.
Everything 1.5.0.1372a addresses both of these issues which can cause Everything to stop monitoring your C: drive.

Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
1372a still does monitor my volume C - should I rescan it and report back?
Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
No need to rescan, just report back if Everything stops indexing your C: drive or stops detecting changes on your C: drive.
Thanks for testing.

Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
As I said: the new version does not detect new files
It also does not notice deletion of already indexed ones

Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
Could you please send some more debug output:
Could you also do the same for the client side logs:
- In Everything, hold down Shift, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, check Service Verbose.
- In Everything, hold down Shift, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Start Service Debug Logging.
- Create a new folder C:\EverythingTest
- Delete this folder.
- Wait for at least one minute to let the logger catch any monitoring errors.
- In Everything, hold down Shift, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Stop Service Debug Logging.

Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
Thank you for the logs.
I see Everything is regathering the free disk size for your root folders every second.
This might prevent Everything from updating.
Could you please try removing Free Disk Size from Tools -> Options -> Properties and see if the issue persists.

Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
Ah, I am 99% sure it's from enabling Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> monitor_thread_mode_background
Please set this option to false.
When this option is enabled, Everything will only monitor your drives when they are idle.
Your C: will likely never be idle.

Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
There had to be a reason why I added it - and most likely there has to be some topic on this forum in which I was instructed to use this option, but I just failed at finding it
For now I will leave that one as it is
As for this one
if this is true then it would affect also many other users right? And if yes then
Code: Select all
monitor_thread_mode_background
Code: Select all
monitor_thread_mode_background_for_non-system_drives
Code: Select all
monitor_thread_mode_background_for_the_system_drive
I have turned it off but it seems that I also must re-index volume C, as new items are still not showing up. If you will tell me now to rebuild I will and then report back when indexing stops once again or after months if it will finally not occur for the n-th time
Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
monitor_thread_mode_background comes with a warning.
I will likely remove monitor_thread_mode_background as it causes more issues than it helps.
There's only one monitoring thread.
I will consider a system and non-system thread.
The default value is: false.
Please set to false (the default value)
You will need to restart Everything after changing this setting.
No need to rebuild.
Enabling can severely reduce the update performance of Everything. |

Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
I closed it including that monitoring process and after reopening double checked if
was still set to false - and yet new items from C are still not showing up. So I need to index it once more, right?
Code: Select all
monitor_thread_mode_background
Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
You are running Everything in portable mode.
The Everything Service will be pulling this setting too.
Please exit Everything (File -> Exit)
Stop the Everything Service (Ctrl + Shift + ESC -> Task Manager -> Services -> Right click Everything -> Stop Service)
Restart Everything.
See if Everything is now picking up changes to your C: drive.

Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
As I said I already did close
but as it turns out it was not true as my method for it has stopped working and I did not bother to check if it is still running in the Task Manager [viewtopic.php?p=66995#p66995]Thy Grand Voidinesss wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2024 6:37 am [...]

But now I did make sure [i.e. double checked] if all EXE files of Everything were closed before re-opening of it - and yet I still do not get update of items

Re: Volume C stopped being indexed
As I was still having problem with that closing issue I decided to investigate it further: viewtopic.php?p=67406#p67406
And now after it has been bluntly removed [i.e. not uninstalled but simply deleted] my Everything has immediately started to notice changes on my volume C. And as I was still waiting for an answer from you and thus did not perform reindexing - then this was just a coincidence [i.e. some time before something else had triggered Everything to once more properly monitor my volume C] or it was precisely that removal of installed 1.4.1.1022 x64 that has fixed it once more
All in all a time can tell if 1.5 x64 portable will continue to work properly from now [i.e. without a presence of second installed old version on my system]

I have also restored my Windows 10 from an image file [for the purpose of creating a new updated image of my operating system] that still had on it the 1.4 version installed. Unfortunately the dates of its installation was shown as 2023 04 26 while the initial post in this topic reporting the issue is from 2023 04 29 - so it is inconclusive i.e. 3 days between these 2 events is not enough to provide high enough probability for the 1.4 version running along being the culprit. I mean: it might have been and I also might have reported it immediately - but it also quite possible that it took me several days or even weeks notice the lack of indexing plus few days to actually find time for report it on the forum
And so once again
But if it does hold up, I could then indulge in installing again the 1.4 again to see, if indexing will be yet again halted [but this time on purpose]Thy Grand Voidinesss wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2024 11:16 am [...]
