Squeezebox database and logfiles fill up OS-partition
Last modified: 2011-11-02 08:36:29 UTC
On ReadyNAS there's only 4 GB root partition which gets filled up by the database, scanner log files and cache. This will cause the whole system to get out of function when having a big music collection. My proposal is to move the database to the volume partition (for example /c/squeezeboxserver) where it would have all the user disk space available.
How large is your collection (# of tracks), and how much is SBS using on the root partition?
FWIW: my 16k music & 12k picture collection creates a 835MB artwork.db file... This might indeed become a problem with LMS scanning images and videos too.
(In reply to comment #1) > How large is your collection (# of tracks), and how much is SBS using on the > root partition? 24k music with lot's of ID3v2 tag info. A ReadyNAS remote support guy removed the SBS database, so I cannot say how much the disk usage was. I have now disabled the service and ran CleanDB. ReadyNAS root is currently using 886MB. I guess the database must have been over 3GB.
Got a response from the ReadyNAS support: "it was the dbs and logs. The databases were 600mb to 1 gig (3 databases) and the log was close to 400mb."

Would you mind sending me the tech's mail address? I'd like to talk to them about how log files are being handled etc. IMHO those files should be rotated by the system. I'm currently looking into moving our data out of the root partition. They might help us there too. Thanks!

OK the tech told me you can contact him. I will send you his email

This issue should be fixed in tze 7.7.1 build. Thanks for the heads up!
