All the scan times I've been quoting have been on internally SATA connected drives, not USB.
I did take the ext2/3 drive that I swapped for the Hitachi and put it in a USB2/eSATA enclosure and then hooked that up to my SBTouch. The Touch spent about 8 hours trying to index the drive before tinysc died. Clearly, if I want to use my whole library with tinysc, I'm going to have to figure out a way to index the library on "fatsc". -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87340 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
