WhsDbCheck - 1.0.0 Build 14 BETA

Posted by Alex at 11:18 PM

Notes:

This release completes the underlying progress reporting changes. Most of the changes are under the hood and invisible but give me the ability to tweak things on a more fine a level. The estimated time should be much better in this release, although at this point I'm sure it's not perfect as I tweaked it by hand.

So at this point the progress reporting message gives the overall test completion percentage, the estimated time remaining until the entire test completes, the current step, the total number of steps, and finally, the current step's progress. Note that the estimated time left will change dynamically with system load. It has a memory of sorts, so past slow downs will affect the estimate. But the memory is not indefinite, it will completely forget of a slow down after a few minutes. So effectively, you can say that it always tries to compute the time remaining based on the recent rate of progress.

Next comes the status / error reporting overhaul. The idea is to have much more meaningful error messages for every check failure. This actually inspired the latest flurry of builds anyways, so it will be good to get that done.

Changes:
  • Better unreferenced file check that checks each individual backup file and is capable of reporting exactly which files are unreferenced/uncommitted.
  • Progress estimation extended to be more fluid and extensible. This also corrects an issue with the last build's progress estimation on multiple Level 4 passes.
