I have the Power Options set to: "Turn off hard disk after=Never", but
that doesn't seem to be helping.
Is there any kind of "keep alive" command line message that I can send
to LMS on
I'm not sure if it will help but have you tried using the 'Prevent
System Standby' plug-in ? I don't think it will resolve the problem if
it's hard disk spin-up though. Is there anything shown in the LMS log
file?

please prove more informations about your setup.
W2k8 is a server system that runs out of the box without any power save

Somethiing like Is it a usb or internal disk ?

The music is stored on an external USB 4tb drive.

I'm sure there is a better solution, but as a last resort, I suppose you
could schedule to read a directory (ls command) every 15 min. or so...

I've also noticed that, after the first search, subsequent searches are
really quick (less than 5 seconds). Is is possible to script a search
command which can be sent to LMS on a regular basis to keep it "fresh"?
(does it use a cache to speed these things up?)

please update t
In addition to what has been said: check out the USB drive's
manufacturer web site for some control/utilities software that might
allow to set the sleep mode.

I have a large collection (90k tracks, 6k albums).
Make sure you go to Settings/Advanced/Performance and set the database
memory option to "maximum" (if you haven't done so already). This will
allow LMS to use lots of memory for caching.

Thanks for all the feedback - some really useful stuff. I've changed the

So far so good. Today's "first search of the day" returned results in
less than 10 seconds, with no timeouts. Whether the improvement was due
to the scripted searches running at regular intervals, or the change to
the cache size setting, isn't clear.
Many thanks for all your input - I now have a

The only "speed up reason" for a scripted search is when you delete the
cache folder and all the stuff has to be calculated to show up.

I did upgrade to 7.9, and have now disabled the scheduled search script.
Searches are still pretty quick, so the improvement must have been down
to either the cache size setting or the old release (or a combination of
the two of course).
Was there anything specific in 7.9 that might have improved

A lot has changed wrt. searches in 7.9. First of all it's now using a

or not. But there is improved caching, some opt
