I had problems with drop outs when running a cp -al in the background.
So I reniced the server, and the cp -al. No luck. So I switched to
2.6, and the drop outs nearly disappeared. I then set
elevator=deadline in grub, no more drop outs (at least until a kernel
upgrade removed the elevator=deadline). I tried tweaking the
anticipatory scheduler, but didn't have any luck (probably because I
didn't tweak it enough). Regardless the new SB2 looks great, but I'm
happy with what I have.

Thanks for the thought, but I'm running 2.6.11 with cfq. I've tried
anticipatory and even a genetic algorythm patch for anticipatory.
I've reniced, run X-less, etc to no avail.

On the off chance that you're running SlimServer on Linux 2.4 - the
default
disk scheduler is optimized for everything but streaming files,
meaning I'd
often get skips even while only listing a bigger directory for
example. The
2.4 scheduler can not be tuned much to avoid this but in 2.6 there are
different schedulers available.
While I couldn't even serve two streams at the same time properly
before the
cfq scheduler has yet to miss a beat with 16 streams running (video
files
with nearly the same bitrate as PCM)
