Just yesterday I realized that my dual boot (Win2K / Ubuntu) box accessing my music library on a NAS is perfect for just such a test. But if I confirm a big difference in scanning times between Linux and Windows, doesn't that still leave two possible explanations (at least): bad implementation of SMB on Windows and/or something peculiar to slimserver on Windows? Anyway, I'll give it a shot sometime in the next few days and report back. As well as a report on the scan time when the NAS runs slimserver and is therefore accessing a local disk. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33041 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
