Hi Mark,
Do both drives need to be SATA interface? I have some 10GB drives around here from some of the players I purchased that are IDE. If they have to be SATA, I will go buy one from a laptop repair shop. I would think they would be glad to get rid of one.
Both of these dumps are with the generic ReserveCache=xx. I have not changed it to ReserveCache=20. It didn't seem to make a difference with the problem.
For the meantime, here is a dump (and I use that term lightly) of the 500 GB SATA drive (clean install), that you asked for.
This one is missing the Tags & Database Files:
empeg:/empeg/bin# cat /proc/meminfo

Here is also a dump of the 250 GB IDE that works too (good tags).

I changed the config.ini to add ReserveCache=20. *********
This is what it the 250 GB IDE Drive looks like:

Looks like it doesn't make a difference here either.
Do you want more?
