iks 0 Posted January 17, 2002 Hi, I have one more question about Indexing Service and cidaemon.exe... Why is Indexing Service good for? I mean cidaemon.exe hangs on my HDD all and every time... nonstop... It's just scrabbling all the time... What's good advantage of Indexing Service? Just to find a file a few seconds faster than without indexing? Does system works faster if disk drives are indexed? I am about to manualy disable indexing service but I am affraid I am going to loose performance because of this... Most of it's time, Indexing service is doing (infinitely) this and nothing else: -------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 14:52:38 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CREATE C:\ SUCCESS Attributes: Any Options: Open Directory 5 14:52:38 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CLEANUP C:\ SUCCESS 6 14:52:38 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CLOSE C:\ SUCCESS 7 14:52:38 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CREATE C:\ SUCCESS Attributes: Any Options: Open Directory 8 14:52:38 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CLEANUP C:\ SUCCESS 9 14:52:38 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CLOSE C:\ SUCCESS 10 14:52:39 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CREATE C:\ SUCCESS Attributes: Any Options: Open Directory 11 14:52:39 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CLEANUP C:\ SUCCESS 12 14:52:39 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CLOSE C:\ SUCCESS 13 14:52:39 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CREATE C:\ SUCCESS Attributes: Any Options: Open Directory 14 14:52:39 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CLEANUP C:\ SUCCESS 15 14:52:39 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CLOSE C:\ SUCCESS 16 14:52:39 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CREATE C:\ SUCCESS Attributes: Any Options: Open Directory 17 14:52:39 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CLEANUP C:\ SUCCESS 18 14:52:39 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CLOSE C:\ SUCCESS 19 14:52:39 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CREATE C:\ SUCCESS Attributes: Any Options: Open Directory 20 14:52:39 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CLEANUP C:\ SUCCESS 21 14:52:39 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CLOSE C:\ SUCCESS 22 14:52:39 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CREATE C:\ SUCCESS Attributes: Any Options: Open Directory 23 14:52:39 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CLEANUP C:\ SUCCESS 24 14:52:39 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CLOSE C:\ SUCCESS 25 14:52:43 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CREATE C:\ SUCCESS Attributes: Any Options: Open Directory 26 14:52:43 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CLEANUP C:\ SUCCESS 27 14:52:43 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CLOSE C:\ SUCCESS 28 14:52:43 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CREATE C:\ SUCCESS Attributes: Any Options: Open Directory 29 14:52:43 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CLEANUP C:\ SUCCESS 30 14:52:43 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CLOSE C:\ SUCCESS 31 14:52:44 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CREATE C:\ SUCCESS Attributes: Any Options: Open Directory 32 14:52:44 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CLEANUP C:\ SUCCESS 33 14:52:44 cidaemon.exe:1644 IRP_MJ_CLOSE C:\ SUCCESS (and multiply this block by millions...) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for help, -Andrej Share this post Link to post
