broot: br on ssh hangs indefinitely on large multi dir / multi project NVMe SSD

Describe the bug br freezes on first letter when used via ssh, local usage works fine.

  1. ssh localhost (only tested with actual remote machines)
  2. mkdir -p parity/polkadot; cd parity
  3. git clone https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot
  4. cd ..
  5. br
  6. <kbd>p</kbd> No more input is accepted, cannot send br to the background via <kbd>CTRL</kbd> + <kbd>Z</kbd>, can only terminate the terminal tab.

Expected behavior no hang

I’ve merged it into master but I’d like confirmation this was really your problem

I just did, 1.0.0 works, 1.0.1 fails.

Thanks a lot for this test, this reduces the diff a lot

Version 0.20.3 works as anticipated as well.

Just to be sure I don’t misunderstand you: a version from 4 months ago (0.14 maybe?) did work, and the current one blocks ?

This is interesting. Can you give me the debug log of broot failing ?

Unless I’m wrong, this has no link to ssh: broot just seems to hang on your server.

Included for sake of completeness.

Is there a slow volume mounted somewhere in the visible tree ?

It’s all on one zstd compressed btrfs subvolume residing on a PCIe v3 NVMe SSD. There are no other partitions mounted under that subtree.
