I fear there is nothing we can do about this. Hi Myriam, the NFS share is always mounted at boot over a Gigabit link and it's available when Amarok starts, this problem started to happen after a while though; disabling the inotify is not a problem, I can trigger the update manually when I add files, the collection is pretty big indeed, 638G on NFS and 44G local, all FLAC. I raised a bug as I couldn't find any precise reason for this in the output, once it hangs, waiting for some time doesn't seem to improve. It's not slowing down, it's becoming at all non responsive; usually I kill it after 5-15 mins. The ticket can be closed for me, or set to very low prio if you wish to sort it out, I'm available to test. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
