re-scan thread settings?

[Shooter3k]

For some very strange reason, my index keeps getting out of sync with the files on my drive. I have about 40 drives connected to this machine. Some are using the Drivepool software and some are not.

To fix this, I'm often running a 'rescan' but need it to use more threads when re-scanning as it's barely even using .5MB/s

Where can I set Everything to absolutely pummel my system and hammer the drives to rescan everything at the same time when needing to rescan certain drives?

Tools | Options | Indexes | NTFS -> C:\

Right-click (context-menu) -> Advanced -> Threads

(And then do similar for D..Z .
Suppose you'd actually want to manually do that in the Everything.ini, might be easier, quicker.

I'm not sure just what Threads might or might not accomplish?
As it is, Default might be 4.)

I've tried this...... it doesn't seem to use very many threads that I've been able to tell

[void]

Everything only rescans each folder with one thread.

Break your folder indexes up into more folders.

For example, instead of indexing D:\folder, index: D:\folder\subfolder1, D:\folder\subfolder2, D:\folder\subfolder3 etc...



Set each folder to use Multiple threads.

-or-

Set the default threading to Multiple threads:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  thread
• Select: default_multithreaded
• Set the value to: Multiple threads
• Click OK.

What happens if I have the parent folder AND the children folders added in the Folders list?

I'm assuming it doesn't scan them twice but I'm not sure what it will do....

...Also, does it only scan 1 folder from the "Folders" list at a time? If so, is there any way to have it scan more than 1?

You will end up with duplicated results.

Everything will scan them twice.

Normally, yes, one folder at a time.
If you set each folder to use multiple threads, then each multi-threaded folder will be scanned at the same time.

If so, is there any way to have it scan more than 1?

Set each folder to multiple threads. (as mentioned above)
