I seem to recall some small recent change(s) to the schema. Looking at one of my 7.3.4 database and one of my 7.4 databases I see that the dbix_migration table holds one record with columns name=version and value=8 in the 7.3.4 database and value=10 in the 7.4 database. That's probably what is forcing the rescan. What happens when you go back to 7.3.4 - does it also insist on doing a rescan (and change the migration value)? Seems to me that the only thing you really have to gain from sharing databases is saving the need to scan your library twice. I have 17 instances of Squeeze server installed on my server and they each have their own database (one instance of MySQL running, with 17 databases). I usually just have one 7.3.4 and one 7.4 server running at any time, and at night I schedule both of them to do a full clear/scan. Just don't have them scan at the same time. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66896 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
