jsipfs add -Qr <directory-containing_1206 _files> doesn't work

[hhfeng]

Version: 0.35.0
Platform: Linux ip-XXX-aws #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri May 17 13:47:10 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Type: Bug

Severity: High

Description: I have a folder containing 1200+ files and takes 4.1G disk space. When I did

jsipfs add -Qr <folder_name>

It returns a Hash QmedigS67VJr71NZs7U1DBhrWXmBFwEHRVTWHQ6f624PMm. But
jsipfs ls /ipfs/QmedigS67VJr71NZs7U1DBhrWXmBFwEHRVTWHQ6f624PMm
doesn't return anything (I expect it to return a list of 1200+ files).
Local gateway also doesn't work.

Steps to reproduce the error:

See above

@hhfeng are you able to add directories with fewer files or are you seeing this issue for all directories you try to add?

The latest JS IPFS version is 0.37.0-rc.0 - would you mind installing it to verify if the problem still exists on this new version?

[hhfeng]

I can add directories with 100 files with no problem. Only for this 1200+ file folder. I will give it a try with 0.37.0-rc.0. Should the following installation work? npm install ipfs@0.37.0

No, 0.37 is not out yet, but please try the RC!

[hhfeng]

How do I install the RC?

This is only js-ipfs issue. I tested using go-ipfs, and it worked fine.

@hhfeng npm i ipfs@0.37.0-rc.0

@achingbrain any chance you can look into this one?

I can't replicate this. I've tried adding:

• A folder with 1206 empty files
• A folder with 1206 small files with contents from /dev/random
• A folder with 1206 files with contents from /dev/random totalling about 5GB

All work as expected, producing the same hashes as go-ipfs and I can list the contents of them.

@hhfeng can you tell us more about your setup? Are you running a daemon? Is there anything out of the ordinary about the files you are adding - contents, names, etc?

I can't get the contents of QmedigS67VJr71NZs7U1DBhrWXmBFwEHRVTWHQ6f624PMm, I'm guessing there's nothing serving it?

Thanks @alex, it seems it doesn't matter whether running daemon or not. jsipfs 0.36.4 still fails as 0.35. I haven't tried 0.37 RC.The foler contains a bunch HLS movie files likes the following:

@hhfeng JS IPFS 0.37 is out now so installing should be a simple as npm i ipfs@0.37. I'd really like to get to the bottom of this so any more information you can provide would be really beneficial. Thank you!

[hhfeng]

I just tried 0.37, and it couldn't even finish. The process was killed (the only display was "Killed") jsipfs add -Qr hls-lw_june6_CC_v2 Killed

Linux sometimes displays Killed when the kernel has killed a process that's consuming too much memory - what kind of machine are you running this on?
