Also try installing if from the desktop and as previously stated, if you copied it from somewhere else as opposed to downloading it directly on the WHS, you have to unblock it. -- consciouspnm TranquilPC - Duet - Linn Kinos - Linn 5Ch Amp - Linn Speakers TranquilPC - SB3 - Bose Companion 3 www.homeautomation-direct.com consciouspnm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5961 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49334 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Squeezecenter Windows Home Server
Doh! Automagically blocked. I'd seen this before but I must have filed that nugget of information alphamystically. It was a piece of cake after unblocking the exe. Odd thing was that I hadn't taken the step to unblock SqueezeCenter-7.1-20612.exe when it just decided to run when making what I thought would be another futile attempt at installing it. I had been messing with ownership and permissions on the file, though. I downloaded SqueezeCenter-7.1-21670.exe from a Vista Ultimate w/s directly to my WHS, placed it on the desktop (though I believe it would have run from any location) and unblocked it per suggestions.

Re: [slim] Squeezecenter Windows Home Server
I also have no issues with WHS, all my flac files live on the Music share and they were all copied there from my old QNAP NAS device via a Vista PC with no problems. That's 250Gb in one go.

Re: [slim] Squeezecenter Windows Home Server
I built my own WHS box with lots of disk space and very low power requirements. It ran SlimServer and now SqueezeCenter without a hitch.

Re: [slim] Squeezecenter Windows Home Server
I think that while using a small system drive is appropriate for many server systems, WHS thinks different. The general recommendation for WHS is to use the largest drive as the system drive. This is because WHS partitions off a system drive and then uses the physical drive as a 'landing zone'. Depending on how keen you are to persevere with WHS you should try re-installing WHS on the largest physical drive. I've been using WHS for almost a year and, after some initial teething problems with getting consistent playback from Slimserver, I have been very impressed. The great backup system has already saved me once and I find the whole thing just chugs away with minimal maintenance day-in-day-out. -- redgum redgum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13679 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49334 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

The great backup system has already saved me once and I find the whole thing just chugs away with minimal maintenance day-in-day-out. While I've only had WHS for about 3 months, I completely agree. The auto backup is wonderful and completely painless. Having the capability to run SqueezeCenter on the WHS server at no additional cost is a great bonus. I got the HP Media Center, so my main drive is a 500G. Thus, I have not had the file transfer problem. Just use a large primary drive and this problem should be solved.

yes, that was my plan too. I can't find any documentation that says there is a limit but each time I try to copy a folder of sub-folder I get a message about insufficient space - the limit appears to about 60 Gbytes.

I haven't come across a problem with large shared folders, currently have about 240G of FLAC files. I use MediamOnkey to transfer ripped files over to the server. I did find that ripping to a local drive, re-tagging with mp3tag and then suing MM to transfer to the correct folder was the best way.

Re: [slim] Squeezecenter Windows Home Server
This is the response I got on the WHS forum. The error message was about insufficient disk space not resources BTW. - File copies are limited by the size of your system drive. If your system drive is 80 GB, for example, it will be reported as ±74 GB. Of that 74 GB, 20 GB is reserved for the system (C: ) partition. That leaves a maximum of 54 GB for file copies. There are other WHS functions that also may consume space on the system drive in some circumstances, further reducing the space avaialble for file copies. - The PC has three drives and the smallest is probably 80Gbytes which seemed sensible, even generous, for a system drive. So presumably I could copy in small batches but with 400 Gbytes FLAC and slow file copies I think I'll be ditching WHS/ -- lyteroptes lyteroptes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7344 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49334 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
