[slim] performance during scanning (6.1.1)

2005-07-24 Thread Simon Oosthoek
Hi all

yesterday I upgraded to 6.1.1 hoping it would be more stable than the
6.0.x I was running (I'v a SB1 wired), however it didn't improve :-(

I set the thing scanning the music library (60+GB), but it was impossible to
listen to music while it was doing that, so I had to stop the music (first
time that has ever happened with the SB!). On my xosview window there seem
to be regular bursts of activity with minor dips (95% full 5% dip) in the
CPU0 section (hyperthreading). This is on Mandriva 2005, so it may be that
slimserver expects multithreading capability which is disabled in Mandriva's
Perl. But I don't see why scanning is done in the same process as the music
server

And the scanning takes forever, I restarted the server, but it's now used 5
hours of CPU time, that can't be normal!

I figure I must be doing something really wrong or it's a bug...

Cheers

Simon

Do you have symbolic links or playlists in your music folders?

no symlinks, but quite a few (old) m3u files in album directories. But I was
under the impression that slimserver only looks in its playlist directory
for them?

Anyway, the slimserver process is still going now at over 11 hours :-(

this can't be good...
