Bug description
Similar to issue #1638 from almost 3 years ago I am still seeing high disk writes regularly exceeding 100gb/day. That is with minimal sync activity. Unlike the mentioned issue CPU usage is very much within reason.
I have been monitoring this issue over the last few month but even after a fresh install it still persists.
Steps to reproduce
- Install desktop client on macOS
- wait
I am running on Apple Silicon
Expected behavior
Nextcloud disk writes are kept to only downloaded files and some overhead for settings and the local database. For most people this should be single digit gigabytes or less per day.
