v1.4.1.1024(x86) - mem_alloc(): Fatal error: out of memory

[AndrewRH]

Hi,

I installed a fresh version of Windows 11 on my AMD desktop (32GB DDR4 memory) and installed Everything (version 1.4.1.1024 - 32-bit)*.

I set it up to include the top-level folders from my Synology NAS (a dozen or more TB of data in documents, photos, etc).

It started scanning and stopped responding. I let it continue thinking it might be still working in the background.
Today, when awaking the computer from sleep it had this error on the screen:

Code: Select all

.\src\mem.c(734): mem_alloc(): Fatal error: out of memory 00010000

The bottom row of its window said: "Sorting file names..."

Happy to provide logs if there are any.

Best wishes,
~Andrew~

*I first had installed 64-bit version but it seemed to hang for long periods, and so I thought the 32-bit version might be worth a try.

The OOM issue with x86 is likely to be expected (in your situation).
(Search for "out of memory".)

And with that, x64.

But as x64 "seemed to hang for long periods", tell us more about your situation; how many files, what you might be indexing...

Not to detract from a possible issue in 1.4, there could be efficiencies in 1.5 alpha (?) that might work out better in your situation?
(But then, as we know very little of it...)

The x86 version is limited to 2GB of RAM.

Everything will fatally exit if it cannot allocate a small buffer. (<= 65536 bytes - 65536 in this case)



Please try reducing the number of files Everything indexes.

Please have a look at Optimal settings for Everything 1.4.



Are you viewing files as thumbnails?
-thumbnails eat a lot of RAM, please try occasionally closing your search window to return thumbnail memory to the system.



If you try the x64 version again, could you please send a mini crash dump when it hangs:

• Download Process Explorer from Microsoft:
  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer
• Wait for Everything to hang.
• In Process Explorer, select Everything.exe (If there is two, select the one using the most memory)
• Right click Everything.exe and under Create Dump, select Create Mini Dump.
• Choose a filename and click Save.
• Please send this file to support@voidtools.com
