Try mounting the file system where your music collection is with the "noatime" attribute. This can lead to significant performance improvements. See http://www.faqs.org/docs/securing/chap6sec73.html for details.
To check this out, do this as root: chattr -R +A <path to your music collection> e.g. chattr -R +A /data/mymusic (or whatever) This will prevent Linux from updating the access times of all the files and directories it encounters in the scan, with a significant performance gain. If this works (and it should), then modify your /etc/fstab entry for the filesystem containing your music to include the "noatime" attribute. See the above webpage for more details. -- Ron Olsen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron Olsen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9233 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32295 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
