Pinning does not happen concurrently but in sequence...

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.
