Why is SAB writing to System Volume Information???

Post by westsidesuburbanite »

I noticed in resource monitor that there are tons of files opened in system volume information that are being written to from SAB. I was wondering what these are for? I can't figure out why or what it is. I would think all the temp files would get written to the temp folder and while that may be true that there are files there, what's the purpose of the system volume files? I've stopped the queue and initiated a shutdown but it is still writing to there after quite a while. When I looked there were several files that were fairly large, like several gigabytes each. So what's with this?

I don't know what those could be, we don't write there.

Windows uses SVI to record recovery information, file history etc.
It's likely that it's just bookkeeping for deleted temp files that you see.
SABnzbd itself doesn't try to access SVI, Windows probably wouldn't even allow it.

In resource monitor it literally shows what process is accessing these files and one of the files is being used by both sab, chrome, AND system. Sab refuses to shutdown. It's been "writing" to/from this file for over 7 hours. I also notice several folders in the temp folder have an "___admin__" folder and the files have piled up to over 90K each in there. There are 2 folders that have those admin folders filling up. I wouldn't think it had anything to do with sab if not for that.
