Confluence Upgrade to 5.7 - Attachment Migration Question

Andre Lehmann

Hi there,

I'm just testing an Upgrade from our Confluence 5.4 to 5.7.

The 2nd upgradeTask is: resolveAttachmentIdClashes No ID collisions were found between the ATTACHMENTS and CONTENT tables.
For our instance: doMigration Beginning migration of 126497 attachment entries...

It starts with:

13:28:32,437 doMigration Migrated 126 (126 of 126497) attachment entries to the content table in 16s.
13:40:58,633 doMigration Migrated 1582 (1708 of 126497) attachment entries to the content table in 746s.
13:55:04,902 doMigration Migrated 1880 (3588 of 126497) attachment entries to the content table in 846s.
14:13:34,127 doMigration Migrated 2429 (6017 of 126497) attachment entries to the content table in 1109s.
14:35:30,387 doMigration Migrated 2852 (8869 of 126497) attachment entries to the content table in 1316s.

 

If I make a forecast with that values, that means that the attachment migration will take more than 17h!!!

Is that normal? What are your experiences?

There is no cpu/memory load on that server. Attachments are mounted with nfs

 

Kind regards
André

HI Andre,

That's odd. I can see that you have a lot of attachments. Using NFS can be the cause as well. As far as I know, using NFS is not officially supported.

My advise would be to test a Confluence with a local file system storage and check if the issue persists when migrating a fewer number of attachments such as 20 or 30 thousand which should give us an sample rate good enough to measure the total time to accomplish the migration.

Cheers,

Rodrigo
