Falls 1. der Fall ist, kannst du im Upload-Fenster den Button "Wartung zeigen" drücken, dann wird genau angezeigt welche Datei(en) gerade gewartet werden.

Falls du Speicher tauschst, kann der Upload auch von Daten herrühren, die andere Nutzer auf deinem Rechner gespeichert haben und auf die jetzt wieder zugegriffen wird.

Hallo,

Wenn ich mich recht erinnere, verwendet Wuala bereits ein künstliches "Timedelay", denn es kommt das sogenannte Key strengthening zum Einsatz, bei dem das Passwort ein paar tausend-mal gehashed wird. Dadurch wird u. a. sichergestellt, dass der Angreifer auf jeden Fall länger braucht und nicht durch eine eigene Implementierung die künstlich eingefügte Pause überspringt.

Ein kurzes, unsicheres Passwort sollte man aber in jedem Fall vermeiden. Wenn es nämlich kurz/unsicher genug ist um auf einer gängigen Liste zu stehen, dann ist es auf jeden Fall unzureichend, egal wie lange es dauert bis die Passwort-Eingabe geprüft ist. Bei einer Sekunde pro Prüfung bekommt man eine Liste mit 100.000 Passwörtern in unter 24 Stunden durch, und 5-stellige Passwörter tendieren dazu leicht erratbar zu sein, weil Leute, die sichere Passwörter wählen, auch meistens längere Passwörter haben. :P

The update to version 247 (Linux) seems to have made this much worse.

The release notes mention that Wuala doesn't start more than 100 transactions anymore, which means rsync aborts with the error the original poster mentions after processing around 100-200 small-ish files (seems to vary a bit), instead of the more than thousand it managed before.

It seems that Wuala does not have a way to stall rsync, which, being designed for synchronization over the internet, would probably wait patiently until Wuala is done with the pending transactions, but instead somehow rsync's access to the FSI is interrupted, causing the Broken pipe error. :-/

A comment on the idea "Folder Autosync - Local to Remote" in Wuala:

Thanks for the tip with the rsync options! I didn't know of these, only using --whole-file to slightly improve things. – DataWraith, on December 13, 2008 09:43

DataWraith replied on December 05, 2008 08:23 to the problem "Hanging Filesystem integration (Linux)" in Wuala:

Hm, I'm not storing files directly in Wuala, I mostly sync them there with unison or rsync.

I guess my "celebration" was a bit premature though -- the problem still crops up after a while, it just takes two or three times as long (as many file accesses?) as before, which seems to mostly suffice for me to sync my files most of the time.

The file system integration seems to work much better in the current version (208).

I finally managed to sync all of my local Backup files (~1500, ~1GiB) with what I have stored in Wuala already in one go, without errors or Wuala simply not saving some files.

Thanks, Wuala Team!
