Hi,

When I looked in var (I checked both hda & hdc), the only thing there is config.ini. I didn't see tags, playlists, or a database there, couldn't delete them. I checked /empeg/var, Drive0/var, and Drive1/var locations. See below:

I checked a couple of older Empeg drives....

On the older two empegs, Drive0/var has tags, database, playlist, etc... Programs is also missing from both of my drives (but this is an old drive).


Guess it didn't even write these files on my player.
Don't have a clue why not. I would think it would need these files to create the playlists.

I did check and there are fids on both drives in the fids directories, although, with 335GB of files, I would have expected to see a lot more fids in the fids directories.



I checked the partitions and noticed that hdc only has a 16MB swapfile - (/dev/hdc6) again. Mark and I had worked through that a long time ago. Either the 2nd drive doesn't need 64MB (I was under the impression that to use the drive in hda position it was needed), we missed it when we were debugging it the first time, or V508 didn't build it right. See below:


Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

empeg:/bin# fdisk -l /dev/hdc

Disk /dev/hdc: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

/dev/hdc5 1 3 24034+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdc6 4 5 16033+ 82 Linux swap
empeg:/bin#


I thought the swap-space was only used on hda6. Am I running out of swap space and is that causing the problem?


Obviously, I'm missing something here (vars and swap partition).


Mark or Roger do you know what is going wrong?

Thanks,

Ross
