LrC starts very slowly, badges and labels appear with a lot of delay, delays in general

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.

Hey, @YannigVdW. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll help you figure this out. 

HDDs are relatively slow and seeing 100% read and write is expected to some extent.

 

Try these suggestions:


1—As a test, create a new catalog on an SSD drive from File > New Catalog and check if the issue exists.

2—If the issue does not exist in the test catalog, go to File > Import from catalog > target your old catalog. Proceed with merging the old catalog into the newly made, internal storage-based catalog. For more help via video-based steps, check here. See https://adobe.ly/3NTC9Rv


Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

Hi Sameer,

 

Thanks for your reaction.

 

As stated in my original post, the catalog is not on this HDD:
"There's nog catalog, caches, or anything else LrC related stored on this disk. "

 

The catalog is stored on a PCI 4x4 m.2 SSD.

The bug I report here was already present before v14. But I agree: v14 seems to be a downgrade when compared to v13.

 

<sarcasm> But I upgraded for all the great new features! </sarcasm>
