sometimes high load average caused by siad

[himbeere]

Hello.

Sometimes i get a high load average caused by siad without obvious reason. It is not really high (around 6 on a 4 core machine) but it is
a little bit annoying. Someone has an idea what is causing this?

thanks and cheers

I got this too in an earlier version. Basically what happened was SIA retried to push files to hosts agian and again. Doing so siad computes erasurecode paritydata, this is a very costly thing to do.

Generally it is expensive to do erasurecoding which is part of uploading data, or reparing broken data when downloading.

In any event I expect siad has issues when performing erasure coding in waste due to robustness bugs, I would expect sia to be lighter on resources in future versions.
