Greetings!

Problems:

Okay...

- Can't access the Empeg via Emplode. Emplode crashes after Rubuilding the databases.

This is a similar situation to what I see with emplode on my machine. I always thought it was too many fids, but it might be a memory (or lack thereof) problem.

You should find that your new changes made it to your player successfully. All you need to do is rebuild the databases manually. Exit to shell, set your drives read/write, turn on swap (in case it is the lack of memory) and run the player application from shell. It will rebuild the databases this way. Once the player application completes building the databases, exit the player application with a "q", turn off swap, set your drives read only again and reboot. A resync at that point should show everything correct.

- Everything Empeg is rebooted it will Rebuild the databases. Even incar, takes ~2 minutes... I was wondering if there went something from in the mke2fs -part of the hda4 formatting After the format it said that partition is checked after 30 (or was it 60?) mounts or 180 days, whichever occurs first.

This could be two different things.

1) If you do not have permanent database files (from the emplode crash) the player is building these files on the fly. You can tell the difference if the boot text says "building" or "reading" for the music database, playlists and tags files. If this is the case, the above fix will take care of this.

2) Lots of fids or a big database. fidsift will likely help this, but I suspect it is more likely item 1...
