m.v. Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Hi, (My old thread regarding this problem is locked, so I post it last time). Seems diskio.no_zero true still not working in latest version (the problem arouse around late builds of 3.4.2 I think, when UI got updated) and files always being zero filled. Checked it with hex editor, utorrent running as admin and have "SeManageVolumePrivilege" enabled. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Is this a real issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m.v. Posted February 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Checked last version and the problem is still there. It is not an issue with smaller files, but with large files "Disk Overloaded" error happens frequently with zero filling on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 I have confirmed it here too (latest beta). I have tried to workaround it by unchecking Pref.->general->Pre-allocate all files. This seems to be working for me here. The issue seem to be that with larger files this bug is causing massive writes to the disk, which then causes the disk-overload (actually stops the downloading) since the data cannot be written from cache to disk until this zero operation is complete. When we tell it to not pre allocate, it seems to also not wite-zero anything, so problem "solved"... Can you try and confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m.v. Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 hello, sadly the problem is still there, files being zero filled regardless of settings - checked it with HxD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 The only solution to this now is - pref->general-> disable "pre-allocation", which is not too bad since it pre-allocates files anyways when starting to write them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m.v. Posted July 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 seems diskio.no_zero works fine - it's just diskio.sparse_files that should be disabled first (it's on by default in last versions). checked it again without sparse files - files not being zero filled anymore.

rafi Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 As far as I can see, it is still zeroing when you select to pre-allocate even if sparse is false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m.v. Posted July 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 I've checked it on clean uT 3.4.7 with "pre-allocate all files" on - there's no zeroes (uT running as admin). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 You are right, in those latest versions it seems "fixed"/Ok if the setting of sparse is false... But... the default is now true, and I think regular users will not be able to find/fix this settings Also, this nozero setting should be decoupled from any other setting.
