I need to state that I do not like to make changes if I do not understand what they are and what they may do, at least a little. I prefer an orderly approach as much as possible.
So just to clarify a few things, Squeezebox is running on an HP EX495 Mediasmart server using an HP version of Microsoft Windows Home Server system. This is not Linux. The system drive has a 20GB partition dedicated to the system "stuff." All the other space is handled automatically by WHS. There is currently about 2.6TB available across 2 drives. The music files reside in that storage space, not in the system area. The only other things that are stored in that space are backups for 5 pc's plus photos in shared files. This is all I use the server for and it works great. I am reluctant to point the cache to the storage area unless I can be certain that is approved and will not disturb other functions of the server. Squeezebox is used to provide music to a Logitech Touch which in turn is cabled to an amp for playing music. This also works very well. I never need to touch a cd player again. The music is stored as flac, because I do not like mp3. There are only 211 albums with 2242 tracks at this time. I am confident that this is a relatively small number of music files, compared to others. Squeezebox is at the 7.6.1 level. I have already checked for log-files using excessive space and do not think there is a problem in this regard. The logs are set to error, not verbose. Treesize points to Squeezebox cache as taking 7.4GB of the 20GB system. That 7.4 resides in the Documents and Settings folder of SYS, which is currently only 7.9 total. The remainder of the space utilization in SYS appears to be normal and not excessive. The 7.4 in squeezebox cache seems excessive. What is in that cache? Does it grow with more data, therefore destined to become a limiting factor? Should I regularly purge the cache, and what is the result of that? Why is it not self-cleaning if that is necessary? These are questions I would like to understand prior to making any changes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tspyder's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41771 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96355 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
