Bottom line is the ReadyNAS is NEVER going to make a decent Slimserver host, no matter what you do, it simply doesn't have the grunt for the job. If you're after a fast NAS that can comfortably handle SC have a look at the Thecus N5200PRO - my library is now >90k tracks and SC remains pretty responsive.
I'm interested in your suggestions re improving the underlying database design to increase performance. Are you willing to install SC on your MAC and to put say four tracks on it from two different albums (best include a compilation album in that mix) and then to examine the underlying DB to see how it hangs together? If you find gross inefficiencies and addressing them doesn't mean too many changes to underlying code (other than SQL statements) then the developers may well be willing to make the necessary changes. I for one would be delighted, because overall I do agree, the DB's performance just isn't what it should be given what's involved. If you're willing to do the analysis and post your findings in the developers forum, you may just get traction. -- egd Internet forums: conclusive proof depth of gene pool is indeed variable, monkeys can be taught to cut code, and world peace is utterly unrealistic... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ egd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3425 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45261 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
