Yes, I know, I was only using the command line to format the disk and to check on what went wrong.. . I initially used the buttons in the LMS prefs pane of PCP to change the settings to the USB disk. This gave some errors and LMS stopped. . I then tried to change it back -using the same buttons- to the original location on the SD. LMS again refused to start, and I then discovered all prefs files were zero bytes.. So I assume PCP had copied the empty files back to the SD when I changed it back, so all was gone.. Lesson learned: When I got the error I shouldnt have clicked "move files" when I changed it back.. I guess I now know the difference between the "set location" button and the "move files" button.. :D I still need to do this exercise again, the new USB disk is too small for the cache files, so I hope it goes better the second time.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jeroen2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70418 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113094 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
