Symptoms in LrC (14.0.1):
- LrC boots very slowly, takes a very long time to close (process stays active in Task Manager).
- Library actions take a long time: flags and other labels appear with a long delay (10s?), folders stay greyed out after a folder action.
- Other actions take a long time as well: save metadata, paste settings in develop, opening the export window, ...
Symptom in Windows (11 Pro 23H2):
- Disk J (WD HDD): is continuously 100% saturated: 100% Active time, 5-15MB/s read speed. See attachment.
This has been happening for quite some time. At any given moment this problem seems to return. I know how to solve it (temporarily) but it always seems to come back after a while.
It always seems to return to the J: HDD
The way I fix it (temporarily) is to sync metadata on the J disk. This takes a couple of hours, but after the process has finished, the HDD returns to a normal idle state (0% active time).
The J disk is in my LrC library, it's a disk where I move files to when I'm done processing them.
There's nog catalog, caches, or anything else LrC related stored on this disk. Only photos (168k) and xmp files.
I'm able to fix it, but it keeps returning. Every time this happens I can't work properly for several hours. That's a problem as I'm a full time photographer.
