6.2b1 - 3774 - Windows XP (nightly 01-08-2005). I stopped slimserver 6.1.1, deleted my 75Mb slimserver preference file (see previous thread "Preferences lost after crash"), and installed the latest nightly version.
As an aside, I forgot that changing the "Group Disks" server option causes an automatic rescan, so it started to rescan my music library before I had completely finished re-entering all my preferences, including the "Guess Tags Formats". Is there any reason why changing the group disks option should cause a rescan? After all, changing the guess tags formats option doesn't. Anyway, after quite a long time waiting for the scan to finish (perhaps there should be some way of cancelling a rescan?), I suspected that something was wrong, so I turned on d_scan debug and looked in the log. I can see that it's taking ages because it is scanning all of my hard disk partitions. All of my music is on a separate M: partition, and as far as I am aware, I have no links that reference for example my C: partition. Scanning worked fairly well for me in 6.1.1. I'm not sure if it is because I didn't completely set up my server options before the scan started, or perhaps because I've also changed other prefs whilst the scan is in progress. Anyway, I'm not particularly chuffed about it scanning every file on my disk. I hope it doesn't perform any write operations, as the service is running with admin permissions.
