My hardware is just commodity x86 stuff. It would seem to me the source of the issue is the processing and/or representation of the music library. Why would 450Gb be a problem? There may be a few links in that tree but nothing excessive. Can this not handle symlinks? I'd like to do this: "change

On further inspection what is happening is something is happening with the DB. Huge cycles are consumed on the cpu, eventually creating a near full stop in the process queue pushing immediate load avg up to 90+. Any way to get more insight to what's happening here? [17-11-11 12:53:50.5069]
