Crashing on Windows10 - Page Fault in Non Paged area - WSL Ubuntu #214

Open james-cook opened 4 years ago

As filehistory is so unreliable I recently installed this software - and ran it in WSL Ubuntu. It seemed to work fine. I'm saving the whole of my "User" directory - which is about 108GB(!).

After about 3 or so successful runs, I started getting a BSOD with a "Page Fault in Non Paged area" error. After some time I realised it only happens when I run this software.

At some point I "switched off" virtual memory (which did not help). I have 8GB RAM. SMART on my SSD seems fine..

Just wondering if anyone else has seen this problem? Is 108GB of files too much?

My current thinking on this is that it may be a memory leak in WSL Ubuntu. Testing with cygwin - no crash "so far"... (still testing)

I am now running the same script in cygwin(!) Up-to-now I have had no errors... so it seems to be a WSL Ubuntu(16.04) problem I'll give it a few runs and report back.
