At hourly intervals (consistent with the cache purge fix), Lots of disk activity, some Slim CPU activity, (indicating its I/O bound) lasting for between say 3-8 minutes. This stalls all clients of slimserver (indicating slimserver is busy on its main thread?). Observable effects. Playing Slim devices: Buffer empties, not refreshed, music stops. Unresponsive to any command until disk activity finished. So thats only about 90% uptime on an hourly basis when listening :( Non playing slim devices running clock screensaver: Clock does not update - giving good feedback of when issue started - and how long it lasts. Anybody else experiencing this issue? Is a "one size fits all" solution appropriate for all cases? Would some logging and recording help? (e.g. starting purge... purge ended ... took X mins) Log the elapsed time for a purge, and if its longer than some threshold - say the buffer size on a SB, defer the next purge, or take into account free space on the disk, or whatever). Moving cache purge to separate thread? ( is this possible?, what about cache coherency etc) Any more info you need?
