Consensys: A small number of MetaMask users report abnormally high disk activity

Odaily News MetaMask developer Consensys confirmed that it will urgently fix the problem of abnormal writing of browser extensions to hard disk. Multiple users reported that the plug-in continued to write data in the background, up to 5MB per second, causing an average of 500GB of data to be written to the solid-state drive (SSD) per day. The problem can be traced back to May 9, when user Quanquan reported that the unused MetaMask plug-in wrote 100GB of data in a single day. A Consensys spokesperson acknowledged the existence of abnormally high disk activity, which mainly affected users with too large state data, and promised to fix it by reducing the write frequency and optimizing the data capture strategy.
