Stuck Content scan - how to deal with it?

Hello, my Content scanning is stuck for few days and i cannot identify which files are causing the issue. I found some topics on how to get to the wdmcserver log file, but inside i see only multiple rows with this:

Jan 21 01:57:04 WDMyCloud wdmcserver: [7293:0x43c7f460] Info Database is busy, waiting a second before retrying: 'SELECT * FROM Folders WHERE path = ?'.
Jan 21 01:57:05 WDMyCloud wdmcserver: [7293:0x43c7f460] Info Database is busy, waiting a second before retrying: 'SELECT * FROM Folders WHERE path = ?'.
Jan 21 01:57:06 WDMyCloud wdmcserver: [7293:0x43c7f460] Info Database is busy, waiting a second before retrying: 'SELECT * FROM Folders WHERE path = ?'.
Jan 21 01:57:07 WDMyCloud wdmcserver: [7293:0x43c7f460] Info Database is busy, waiting a second before retrying: 'SELECT * FROM Folders WHERE path = ?'.
Jan 21 01:57:08 WDMyCloud wdmcserver: [7293:0x43c7f460] Info Database is busy, waiting a second before retrying: 'SELECT * FROM Folders WHERE path = ?'.
Jan 21 01:57:09 WDMyCloud wdmcserver: [7293:0x43c7f460] Info Database is busy, waiting a second before retrying: 'SELECT * FROM Folders WHERE path = ?'.

 The avconv process is running all the time and is eating 90-95% of the CPU resources. If i stop the scanning services through SSH the avconv process stops too, but this is not a real solution to the problem. I cannot identify the bad files which are causing this mess due to the log showing what i pasted above. what can i do in this case?

Hi,

I’m also experiencing the same stuck content scan. Can you tell me where you did you read about it?

Cheers

Hi,

It seems that some users have fixed this issue with:

update-rc.d wdphotodbmergerd stop
update-rc.d wdmcserverd stop

and if you don’t want them to start after a reboot:

update-rc.d wdphotodbmergerd disable
update-rc.d wdmcserverd disable

Cheers
