assignment collection takes minutes (for one particular setup of cocalc-docker) #5774

Open vdtoorn opened 2 years ago

vdtoorn commented 2 years ago

We use cocalc (in the docker variant) to give courses, and we'd like to use the assignment functionality as a final exam for the students. We've done some testing and it appears that the collection of the exams takes a lot of time (like 5 minutes), at least for a single test exam. Is it possible to change this timing, or is something wrong with our setup?

There is something wrong with your setup. I just tested and copying files between projects using the course management system was essentially instant for me. All it does behind the scenes is run an rsync command on the underlying filesystem -- it doesn't even have to start or stop any projects, since they all share a filesystem. So yes, there is something very broken about your installation.

We'll have to investigate that further then, thanks for the answer!
