Thanks for the info gordonb3.
Most of my USB drives are far older than 2 years, but all but one are backup drives so they are not powered up very often. The LMS USB drive only has only the music files on it, nothing is written to it during normal operation. Thru chance I have probably cycled my drives as "the LMS USB drive". My LMS boots from the SD card. piCorePlayer does not start syslog but default. So with these factors in place, I have managed to dodge the bullet. regards Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114879 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
