Version information:

go-ipfs version: 0.4.8-
Repo version: 5
System version: amd64/linux
Golang version: go1.8

Type:

Bug, unexpected behaviour

Severity:

Medium

Description:

If I run cat hashes | while read h; do ipfs pin add "$h" & done or ipfs pin add (so it reads from stdin) and paste a list of hashes into stdin, it seems to try these hashes in sequence rather than concurrently (what would be the expected behaviour).

Because of this I failed to pin ~25 hashes for the last 3 days. Just because the very first hash couldn’t be fetched. All others seem to work now…

< hashes | ipfs pin add - might work better.

ipfs pin add works in serial as for pin lock.

@lgierth can we resolve it somehow? We don’t need to hold pin lock while fetching.

Workaround for now is a round of ipfs refs -r <hash> (which works concurrently too) and then the pin round.

was this issue ever resolved? I ran into this issue where if I was trying to pin content to IPFS, I’m unable to upload files or pin other content
