I wanted to post an update for information only, in case this happens to someone else. I am not asking for any resolution or work to be done! ;)
I upgraded to PcP6, and in fact we just got a new ISP in the area, which I switched to. I have a pcp6 as a LMS server only, with a 2TB USB HDD as storage. The problem is frequent power failures - symptoms after failure - no time screen saver on touch, wrong time on radio, boom, RP FLAC interactive won't stream. Recovery was not as simple as rebooting, it involved unmounting and remounting HDD, rescan, restore favorites, etc. LMS on Windows never did this, PcP must handle this exception differently. Anyhow, when setting up Pcp, I moved cache and prefs to the HDD. Based on thoughts on this and other threads, I decided to try keeping cache and prefs on the SD. Yesterday we had another power failure (we have 6-10 a summer). When power was restored, same symptoms. However, with cache and prefs on the SD, it was a simple shutdown re-power of pcp and viola! everything is fine. The pcp setup instructions say to move the cache and prefs to HDD, so I did it. Now that I understand what that really means, the best solution for me is to keep it on the SD Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Redrum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112090 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
