Hashdeep is idling and doing nothing. What's wrong?

[anohren]

I installed hashdeep using Homebrew on macOS Monterey, and I run the command below to scan a home directory on an APFS volume. All four CPU cores become 100% busy, hashdeep reads a total of 1.7 GB of data (there's ~90 GB in the directory), and then all CPU and disk utilization stops. There's no more output than the following:

% sudo hashdeep -c md5 -r -l ./andreas > ~/Desktop/hashdeep-andreas.txt

./andreas/.wine/dosdevices/z:/usr/X11: No such file or directory
./andreas/.wine/dosdevices/z:/usr/X11R6: No such file or directory

Why isn't the program doing anything, outputting anything, or returning? Did I use the options incorrectly?

Tried it again but with -o f which finished successfully. Not sure what went wrong though. Infinite recursion should've made itself known.

I just ran into the same problem the other day. Using "-o f" fixed the problem.

It just sat there and did nothing. I had it with "-relvvv". It was in a gcc build folder, and the last error was
./home/PackageUsers/gcc/gcc-build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/include/bits/stamp-bits: Too many levels of symbolic links
With the last hash being
0,d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e,e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855,./home/PackageUsers/gcc/gcc-build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/tmp_sgetc_1out.tst

Same here on 4.4 on Ubuntu 24.10 on a ZFS snapshot: I was able to successfully create the hashfiles, but it is only idling on trying to audit it. I saw some "link" errors on hash creation. But at least on audit -o f does not seem to solve the problem.

cd /srv/.zfs ; hashdeep -a -o f -l -v -v -k  ~/checksums.hashdeep

-o f needs to be used when creating the hashes.
