Just to confirm my understanding: 1. The two external HDs are connected to the Mac at the same time? 2. Both HDs are powered up and spun up when you boot the Mac? 3. Both HDs are mounted on their same respective mount points each time the Mac boots? 4. An 'alias' on a Mac is the same as a symbolic link? 5. Your defined SqueezeCenter music folder is in your users directory? 6. You have two symbolic links from your defined SqueezeCenter music folder pointing to the mount points, or sub directories of those mount points of the two HDs? 7. SqueezeCenter starts after all internal and external disk partitions are mounted? 8. When you shut down Mac OS, SqueezeCenter stops before the two external HDs are unmounted? If the above is not correct, let us know. Meanwhile, a couple of points. A symbolic link won't change to point somewhere else on its own, even if the file or directory it points to isn't there, for example, if a disk is unmounted. However, if an 'alias' is not a Mac OS/UNIX style symbolic link, I don't know. Unmounting and remounting your music disks when SC is running is not a good idea. -- Mick Seymour ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mick Seymour's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21137 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58048 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
